Method of transmitting electricity

Abstract

A method of transmitting electricity including providing a shippable container configured to transport a liquid electrolyte solution to a first charging station. The first charging station is configured to apply electricity to the liquid electrolyte solution. The first charging station charges the liquid electrolyte solution by applying electricity to the liquid electrolyte solution. The charged liquid electrolyte solution is loaded into the shippable container and transported to a discharging station. The electrolyte solution is electrically discharged at the discharging station and subsequently transported to a second charging station.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of transmitting electricity, comprising:
 transferring electrical charge to a mobile medium provided at a first charging station at a first location;   receiving by the mobile medium electrical charge from the first charging station;   transporting the charged mobile medium to a second location;   transferring electrical charge to the mobile medium provided at the second charging station at the second location; and   receiving by the mobile medium electrical charge from the second charging station.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the mobile medium includes one or more of liquid electrolytes, solid electrolytes, lithium ion cells, sodium ion cells, or sulfur containing electrolytes. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the second charging station is the same as the first charging station. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the second charging station is different from the first charging station. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the second charging station is at a location different from the first charging station and wherein the second charging station is across state lines relative to the first charging station. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first charging station includes an electrical substation. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first charging station includes an electrical generating station. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the electrical generating station generates electricity from at least one of solar or wind. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the second charging station includes an electrical substation. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first charging station includes an electrical generating station. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the electrical generating station generates electricity from at least one of solar or wind. 
     
     
         12 . A method of transmitting electricity, comprising:
 providing a transportation system containing a mobile medium that is configured to be charged;   delivering, via the transportation system, the mobile medium to a first charging station, the first charging station configured to apply electricity to the mobile medium;   charging the mobile medium by applying electricity from the first charging station;   delivering, via the transportation system, the charged mobile medium to a second charging station, the second charging station being at a location different than the first charging station; and   charging the mobile medium by applying electricity from the second charging station.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the mobile medium includes one or more of liquid electrolytes, solid electrolytes, lithium ion cells, sodium ion cells, or sulfur containing electrolytes. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the transportation system includes at least one of: a car, a truck, a rail, a ship, or a plane. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the transportation system includes a car or a truck. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the second charging station is across state lines relative to the first charging station. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the first charging station includes an electrical substation. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the second charging station includes an electrical substation.
