Kunezinsiza eziningi nobuchwepheshe esibusebenzisa nsuku zonke ukuthi ngandlela thile sisebenzise ibhethri ukusebenza, inkinga ebucayi ngoba, ngenkathi isibonelo minyaka yonke sibona ukuthi izinkampani zocingo noma zekhompyutha, ngokwesibonelo, ziqala kanjani ukuba namandla amakhulu futhi zisheshe ama-smartphones noma ama-laptops, cishe iphinda kabili isivinini sokucubungula idatha kusukela kunguqulo yangaphambilini, ihlinzeka ngezikrini ngencazelo esekukudala yabonakala esweni lomuntu ... amabhethri afanayo kuseyinothi elibi ngoba, esikhundleni sokunikeza ukuzimela okuthe xaxa, benza okuphambene ngokunembile ngoba lezi zintuthuko zidinga okwengeziwe manje ukuze zisebenze ukuze ekugcineni futhi esikhundleni selaptop sibe nedeskithophu ehlala ixhunyiwe.
Ngisakhumbula ukuthi ngombono wezimoto zokuqala zikagesi ngangingomunye walabo ababecabanga ngalokho «Yebo manje“, Imboni yezimoto ibinentshisekelo yokunikela ngezimoto zikagesi, into engenza ukuthi abakhiqizi bamabhethri bathuthukise ngempela izimoto ezinekhono, okungenani, ukuzimela kwe-homologate kufana kakhulu nezimoto zamanje, ukuthuthuka okwakuzogcina kufinyelele kuzo zonke izici zobuchwepheshe zosuku lwethu usuku nosuku. Nakulokhu futhi yize ukuthuthuka kuza kancane kancane, ushintsho luhamba kancane kangangokuba luba yithemba, izimoto eziqinisekisa uhla lwamakhilomitha angama-40, ama-Smartphones asebenzisa ubusuku axhunywe kwishaja (ezimeni ezinhle kakhulu), ama-smartwatches kugcina ngokuzimela kwamahora ama-5 noma ama-6 (hhayi usuku lokusebenza) ...
Sihambe ibanga elide ngale ndlela yokuthi ngisakhumbula ukuthi ngo-2012 i I-Ejensi Yemisebenzi Ephakeme Yezocwaningo (ARPA-E), eyasungulwa uhulumeni wase-United States ngo-2009, ngemuva kweminyaka yocwaningo, yayimemezela ngentshiseko enkulu ingqungquthela lapho izokwethula khona iseli elisha lebhethri elikwazi ukuphinda kabili ukushaja kwamanje kwamabhethri ukwenza noma iyiphi imoto kagesi ikwazi ukuhamba, ngokwesibonelo, ukusuka eWashington iye eNew York ngaphandle kokushaja kabusha. Kwakunjalo-ke uguquko olwenzeka ezinyangeni ezimbalwa kamuva AbakwaGeneral Motors banelungelo lobunikazi lobuchwepheshe futhi basayina isivumelwano sokuxhasa intuthuko yabo ngezimali, ngaleyo ndlela uthole ilungelo lokukwazi ukusebenzisa imiphumela etholwe ekusungulweni.
Kuleli qophelo, ngokungangabazeki bekubonakala sengathi lobu buchwepheshe obusha nakanjani buzoguqula usuku lwethu usuku nosuku, akukho okunye okuqhubekayo kusuka eqinisweni, lapho iGeneral Motors ithola amacebo okuqala ukuthengisa ngenhloso yokwenza lolu hlobo lwamabhethri, onjiniyela bayo abakwazanga ukukhiqiza imiphumela etholwe yi-ARPA-E, unyaka nje owodwa ngemuva kokusayina isivumelwano saphulwa, ibhethri elifinyelelwe bekuvele nje kungumphumela wamathuba, inkinga enkulu futhi mhlawumbe udonga olunzima kakhulu ukuluhlula impela ukuthi noma iyiphi into eshintshiwe noma engezwe ebhethri ingaveza ukuthuthuka kepha akwaziwa ukuthi izehlakalo ezingalindelekile zingaba nkulu kakhulu ukwedlula ukuthuthuka okukhiqizwayo.
Okungenani yonke imali etshalwe ekuthuthukisweni kwalawa mabhethri ibe nomphumela wokuthi namhlanje singawujabulela, bakwazile ukudala amabhethri akhanyayo namancane kakhulu, intuthuko egcine isibone ukukhanya ngemuva kokungena kwezinkampani ezifana Tesla Motors o Panasonic njengabahlanganyeli ocwaningweni lwe-ARPA-E. Lokhu kwenzeke, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yeTesla, ngaleso sikhathi, esikhundleni sento entsha ngokuphelele, ebheja ngqo ekwenzeni ngcono izinqubo zokukhiqiza nezobunjiniyela. Ngokwengxenye yayo, iPanasonic ibiphethe ukwenza ngcono nokulungisa i-chemistry yezinto ezibonakalayo ukufeza amandla amakhulu.
Ngokwami nangendlela ye- isiphetho, Ngicabanga ukuthi futhi isikhathi esiningi kakhulu nemali kumoshiwe ekubhejeni kubuchwepheshe obusha ngokuphelele lapho ibhethri elizolisebenzisa beliyoyeka ukuba yilokhu impela. Ziningi iziqalo zokubheja ezintweni ezingajwayelekile futhi ezithembisayo njenge-graphene noma ama-nanodot, ethembisa ukuguqula imakethe, into enhle kakhulu ngoba kancane kancane kubonakala sengathi lolu hlobo lwezinto lunekusasa yize, njengoba iTesla nePanasonic ukukhombisa, isinyathelo esibaluleke kakhulu kungaba ukufeza umkhawulo ezinqubweni zamanje zokukhiqiza, okungukuthi, ukungalahli ikhanda ngenxa yokutholwa kwezinto ezintsha lapho kukhona lezi ezikhona manje, ngenxa yezizathu ezahlukahlukene, asikwazanga ukuzicindezela kuze kube semkhawulweni.
Ayikho intuthuko yezobuchwepheshe, hhayi nje ibhethri. Lezi zindaba azizintsha.
