Cost and performance targets in this technology area include: Electric motors. Develop new low-cost and highly efficient motor designs, alternative magnetic materials with reduced rare earth content, and improved motor manufacturing methods. Traction drive system.
Eaton Corporation will partner with ORNL to develop waste heat recovery (WHR) technology that can be applied to industrial manufacturing processes and vehicle operations in a project titled “High Performance Computing to Enable Next-generation Low- temperature Waste Heat Recovery.”. million tons of CO 2.
Topic Area 2: High-value products from waste and/or other undervalued streams in an integrated biorefinery. TRI’s work in these systems will promote feedstock flexibility and enable the processing of low-cost feedstock to enhance IBRs’ economic viability. The MIBR will improve IBR sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
The selected projects will focus on technologies such as revolutionizing fuel cells for light- and heavy-duty vehicles, and technologies to generate less nuclear waste and reduce the cost of fuel. Select OPEN 2021 projects include: Synteris. Stanford University. The Ohio State University. University of Washington. Pratt & Whitney.
Possible areas of interest for the EV Everywhere Grand Challenge include, but are not limited to: Development of low-cost, high-strength automotive aluminum sheet. Integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) development of carbonfiber composites for lightweight vehicles.
Mineralization concepts utilizing CO 2 with industrial wastes. Novel physical and chemical processes for beneficial use of carbon. Mineralization concepts utilizing CO 2 with industrial wastes. Mining waste also contains trace amounts of valuable materials (i.e., Biological based concepts for beneficial use of CO 2.
Some specific improvements which are of interest, but are not limited to, include: new low-cost materials, improvements in manufacturing processes, speed or yield, improved cell/pack design minimizing inactive material, significant improvement in specific energy (Wh/kg) or energy density (Wh/L), and improved safety. Advanced Materials.
Accelerated Development and Deployment of Low-Cost Automotive Magnesium (Mg) Sheet Components. Dissimilar metal joint systems are limited to aluminum, steel, magnesium, and carbonfiber composites. Advances for the Production of LowCost Electric Drive Vehicle Motors. per pound of weight saved.
Specifically, lowcost and energy-efficient processes are sought that can be demonstrated and validated under field conditions to meet needs of the nascent algal biomass industry. Algae cultures tend to be relatively dilute, and the energy requirement to remove water from the cultures can be a significant portion of the energy balance.
Made from a carbonfiber reinforced thermoplastic material by SABIC, the current model of the Strati takes approximately 44 hours to print 212 layers. Local Motors will showcase the proprietary three-phased manufacturing process for 3D-printing cars during NAIAS 2015. The first phase in 3D-printed manufacturing is additive.
REEACH (Range Extenders for Electric Aviation with LowCarbon and High Efficiency) project descriptions. Compact Propulsion Engine Optimized with Waste Heat Recovery (CO-POWER); $2,815,760. The work will result in the development of a first-of-its-kind aircraft gas turbo-electric engine with a sCO 2 waste heat recovery cycle.
Secretary Moniz also announced that two innovative projects at CALSTART and the National Association of Regional Councils will receive $3 million to develop systems that help companies combine their purchasing of advanced vehicles, components, and infrastructure to reduce incremental cost and achieve economies of scale.
Of equal importance is that the new foil enables the mass production of the bearing liner at the required production tolerances to be achieved at a high volume scale at lowcost. This process sees a proportion of energy wasted during the charging process and increases the time required to charge all cells fully.
Further, alloying or coating pathways towards low-cost, effective passive films, have not been sufficiently explored in a sound and scientific way. CarbonFiber Polymer Composite. Characteristics of commercially viable solutions include lowcost, high efficiency, and high volume production of components.
This project will develop a new process that enables low-cost, domestic manufacturing of magnesium. This project will develop a novel lowcost route to carbonfiber using a lignin/PAN hybrid precursor and carbonfiber conversion technologies leading to high performance, low-costcarbonfiber.
The objective of this AOI is to accelerate the realization of lighter weight vehicle materials made from magnesium and carbonfiber capable of attaining 50% weight reduction of passenger vehicles. Subtopics include: Low-Cost Development of Magnesium. Development of Low-CostCarbonFiber.
To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. It is wasteful and destructive to be burning this versatile molecule; we must stop. Some examples are the use of fiberglass, carbonfiber and Kevlar substituting for wood and metal in vehicle parts, appliances and furniture products. But use of petroleum will continue.
