From what I understand, Liquid Electricity isn't real (yet). As a part of silent films, it was used to showcase a liquid substance that's generally glowing and stored in bottles. In some films, it was shown that the 'liquid electricity' is used to provide energy and super-speed when used as a fuel for automobiles, aircraft, and machines of all sorts.
In 1987's movie Spaceballs, a similar substance called "Liquid Schwartz" is used to power a spaceship in the same manner as liquid electricity.
Even if the term is derived from science-fiction, possibly is that going to become a real thing?
Well, that said, quite interestingly a lot of engineers are google liquid electricity as a topic of their seminar in colleges. That led me to think that it might've become a real thing.. meaning research on it must be progressing.
I googled up to find the available information on the topic, and came up with the following resources.
Liquid Electricity as fuel for automobiles of the future:
Every car's battery needs to be recharged. What recharging does is to change the state of the electrolyte fluid in the batteries. Innovation Network in Utrecht, a Dutch government research organisation, has come up with a solution. They suggest pumping the spent electrolyte out and pump in freshly charged electrolyte — literally, liquid electricity.

^ That's the only concrete work I could find on the topic.
Would like to know the opinions of CEans on Liquid Electricity. What is Liquid Electricity? Where is it headed? Can it ever be a real thing? What needs to be worked upon?
Please respond below.
