Nanoelectric fuel for infinite battery recharge

10.08.2022

Scientists at the Influit Energy Laboratory at the Illinois Institute of Technology have developed the world's first rechargeable safe electric fuel.

A new type of flow battery is based on an innovative composite material, which is an active nano-fluid battery. Scientists have named the new type of fuel nanoelectric fuel or NEF.

The unique high energy density liquid format of NEF flow batteries allows the same liquids to be used in different devices, i.e. liquid charged at a charging station from renewable energy sources or the grid can be used to quickly refuel vehicles for stationary storage and other large portable applications. Drained fluid can be returned to a recharging/refill station for recharging, or charged inside the device by connecting to a power source.

The company's current client list includes NASA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and two US Air Force grant programs: AFWERX, an innovator team that promotes collaboration between the military, academia, and industry, and the Innovation Research Program. small business (AFRL SBIR).

"Everything we're doing now is geared towards the specific goal of developing what we call a closed energy cycle where your batteries are not solid materials but liquids. You can think of a battery as fuel that's pumped into mobile devices - cars, trucks, aircraft, anything that needs to be electrified," says John Katsudas, co-founder and CEO of Influit Energy. - "Each of our contracts finances different aspects of the integrated development of this ecosystem."

NEF Rapid Recharger The fuel used by this new system can be recharged using either renewable energy sources or the electrical grid.

The fifth project is related to the development of second-generation nanoelectric fuels and is funded by AFRL SBIR. This new second generation of NEF chemistry in our unique and proprietary nanoridine format will ultimately provide four to five times the energy density of today's Lithium-Ion batteries and could meet the needs of the Air Force. And demand with greatly improved energy density, increased operating temperature range, no fire/explosion hazard, and made from inexpensive materials common on Earth.

Since the liquid in the batteries can be charged anywhere using any charging mechanisms available in this market, there is a huge growth and opportunity for Influit Energy batteries in the future.

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>

Free taxi powered by ads 03.02.2014

It seems that self-driving cars have nothing to do with Google's core business of selling ads, but the search giant recently filed an interesting patent describing an ad-driven taxi service.

The idea is that advertisers can offer their potential customers a free ride to the store. This will solve one of the biggest problems retailers face: getting consumers to shop. The system will offer a free or discounted ride based on an algorithm that calculates the travel costs and the potential profit from the purchase.

The concept involves free tickets for taxis, public transport or even self-driving cars. Ads will be shown to a person through a smartphone (based on location data) or through a stationary kiosk in a public place. Advertising, of course, will be extremely targeted. In the case of a smartphone, Google will automatically identify the user, while in the case of a kiosk, you will have to enter your Google+ credentials. The system will track the frequency of a person's use of discounted transport for real purchases, and if the user does not buy goods too often after such a service, there may not be a discount next time.

The patent also provides for the ability to share information about your interests and companions. For example, two adults might want to have lunch somewhere, and an adult with a child might want to head to a family vacation spot. Advertisers will provide different offers based on user profile data and purchase history.

It is not clear whether Google plans to implement such systems in the near future, or whether we are talking more about the era of autopiloted vehicles. It is important to note that the patent is filed by a division of Google that is working on the development of autopilot for cars.
