Actually a Dutch brewery named "Bavaria Brewery”

I'd be really interested in seeing the exact process used in creating the iron powder, whether they're having to grind up refined iron or if it's actually created as a powder; and whether the same process could be adopted for aluminum.

If it can, you could potentially make a continuous aluminum-air battery, and produce electricity directly instead of heat.

Dave: thank you, fixed.

Shadow: yeah, there's a lot of hypotheticals in the article that may not play out in practice. But as electricity becomes increasingly cheap, some of the non-obvious possibilities for load shifting are fascinating.
