For years, people have been worried — both rightly and otherwise — that electric vehicles could strain the grid to the breaking point. But as they spread, and as EV technology advances, some think these rolling battery packs could become a lifeline for the United States’ aging electrical system. “In the future, the electric vehicle will be the center of the entire energy grid,” Peter Wilson, co-founder and CEO of Volteras, told TechCrunch. The potential is there: Last year, the U.S. installed

BLUETTI’s new Apex 300 rethinks what a portable power station can be, combining grid-level output with the flexibility to go fully off-grid. Designed for home backup, RV living, and remote energy independence, it offers plug-and-play simplicity with serious capacity and speed. The Apex 300 impressively supports dual 120V and 240V output, ultra-fast solar charging, and a first-of-its-kind 12,000W bypass with 0ms UPS switchover. It’s efficient enough to stretch runtime far beyond typical units a

They started by imagining a very fine grid superimposed on their fluid. They then computed how long particles spent in each square of the grid, on average. In some squares, the fluid acted like a rushing river: Particles tended to sweep straight across the square, spending only a brief period of time there. In other squares, small eddies might push particles around, slowing them down. The problem was that the numbers the mathematicians calculated might vastly differ from square to square — reve
