The system is considered a hydrostatic drive with brake energy recovery and does not require a conventional drive shaft. The brake energy recovery system converts the vehicle’s kinetic energy into stored energy by compressing nitrogen gas in a storage device called an accumulator. Accumulators.

It has been purposefully designed for efficiency and, together with many other optimizations of the race car, such as aerodynamics, helps save energy. Compared with the 2006 5.5-liter megajoules of fuel energy are available to the new R18 e-tron quattro per lap at Le Mans. Specifically, 138.7 This amounts to 6.16

With Eco Pro mode engaged, drivers can also make use of the coasting function, while energy efficiency is further boosted by precisely gauged power control for electrically operated convenience functions, such as the air conditioning, seat heating and heated mirrors. Accelerator kickdown brings the combustion engine into play.

Ilhan Aksay’s group at Princeton University, has demonstrated that small quantities of high-quality graphene can dramatically improve the power and cycling stability of Li-ion batteries, while maintaining high-energy storage capacities. Earlier post.). In Vor-x, the graphene layers are entirely disassociated. Vorbeck Materials Corp.

For instance, higher power output is possible with the flow (reported to 500 mA/ cm 2 ) of electrolyte when one of the reagents is stored in the electrolyte. Typical applications of the new convection battery would be plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric grid energy storage, they suggested. Suppes, Galen J.;

Partnering with Alcoa, Duke Energy, Google.org, Johnson Controls Indiana startup plans to unveil vehicle May 2009 at EVS-24 in Norway; mass production in 2012. The F6 DM uses ferrous batteries, with no lithium content, that BYD says are high-energy density and low cost. BYD also developed the motors and software for the system.

Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) is the concept of using stored energy in a plug-in hybrids (or electric cars) battery to send power to the electrical grid when necessary. When plugged in, hybrids with advanced controllers can announce their identity, location and storage capacity to the grid. Whats Vehicle-to-Grid and why would I like it?
