Basics
- A Form of Battery Functioning in a similar method to a Fuel Cell however all the componets are kept in a closes system, and cycled from a charged to uncharged state, and thus separate containers
- These are one of the most scalable technologies, especially for Grid Scale Electrical Energy Storage as the determining factor for total capacity is the amount of liquid, thus large vats can be used with a fixed cost only of the "cell" itself (which can be added in a modular manner)

- Aims to develop an OS Architecture for all OS Flow Cell RnD Such that the researchers can focus on the chemistry without the Redundancy Waste of needing to make an entire flow battery from scratch each time, or buy an EXPENSIVE COTS option
