Here's a potential DIY electrical project: https://edgylabs.com/2016/11/17/vand...metal-battery/
This is why a metal air battery would be great! A 150lb zinc air battery can hold 24kW-hours. An aluminum air battery can hold more. The only thing is that they aren't rechargeable. But still, if I had a 1,000lb trailer full of aluminum air batteries with a few thousand mile range... That would be awesome!
