"電池在使用期間，內部的化學反應會產生電能，起初會有一層鋅圍繞著電池的黃酮芯，就像一個甜甜圈的形狀，而隨著電池持續放電，鋅甜甜圈會逐漸變成氧化鋅。當氧化鋅越來越多後，就會慢慢擴散到電池的整個鋅層，電池就會變得越來越有彈性，所以使用越久、電力越少的電池，落到桌面時就會更容易彈跳起來。"
"Today, CarbonScape takes leftovers from timber making, but Williams believes it could also make use of so-called slash, which is the waste branches and other unwanted wood left in forests during logging. The wood chips are heated using a process known as pyrolysis to create biochar, a carbon-rich material that is then milled and converted to a raw form of graphite. That is purified and coated to get the quality needed for battery anodes.
目前，CarbonScap使用木材加工過程中的邊角料，但威廉姆斯認為，還可以利用所謂的「採伐剩餘物」，也就是伐木時留在森林中的廢棄枝椏和其他沒用的木頭。碎木片通過一種被稱為「熱分解」的工藝加熱，生成生物炭，隨後，這種富碳材料經過研磨，轉化為粗加工石墨。經過提純和塗層處理，便可達到製造電池陽極所需的品質要求。"
