Better Zinc Air Technology?Here is a Canadian company with a better zinc air technology and guess what, They have a system deployed in the field validating their claims.
Check it out.

E-Zn now has a pathway to initial deployments with the SDTC grants.
The first demonstration connected a 5-kilowatt solar array to a 1-kilowatt/24-kilowatt-hour stack of cells; it's been operating since April 2018. The newly granted $2 million will help bring the cells into commercial manufacturing and package them into a 5-kilowatt/240-kilowatt-hour containerized unit.
The next step will be translating the prototypes into an efficient manufacturing process. This is where Chamberlain believes the relative technical simplicity of the Zn Reactor will give it an edge against better-known and more highly funded long-duration ventures.
