I agree the article and video are nearly content free.
However, using a nifty tool called Google, I have found some web pages that might shed more light on how to use algae in batteries. This page talks about a 200% improvement over lithium-ion, and I can see how that may have been garbled into "200x" if someone were not reading or listening carefully. Here is another page about the same research.
The person in the video seems to be talking about a carbene coating, which if applied to high-surface-area nanofibers could make a nice conducting electrode in a battery or supercapacitor. Perhaps he is replacing the polypyrrole conducting polymer with one based on conductive carbenes, but I may not have heard him correctly -- the audio in that piece was pretty bad.

We're super excited
So, besides showing conductivity, has he got any diode action to show? Polarity?
Does his cell design depend on algae being alive as it appears in the jars?
How does that impact use in a car battery pack?To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/diybio/538A2041.1050807%40industromatic.com.
