The best-known wearable energy-harvesting tech today is, of course, solar, which pulls down electrons from sunlight or ambient light. A light human health sensor would be no use to biologists trying to keep a tracker on a bison for the rest of its life. volts for about 60 hours. But solar is just the opening gambit.

Dodge did not provide details on the powertrain but did say it was based on the 800-volt system, which they have named Banshee. Carbon-fiber intakes on the front and rear lower fascias assist with aerodynamic performance, as does the sculpted hood. The Charger EV offers a glimpse at the brand’s electric future.

The XL1 is aggressively optimized for efficiency in all areas of its design and technology—from materials (carbon fiber reinforced polymer monocoque); to powertrain (0.8L XL1 has no power steering, but is very nimble and easy to control due to its aerodynamic shape and light weight. Materials and weight. Earlier post.)

A new compact, high-efficiency, high-capacity converter has been developed to boost power generated in the Toyota FC Stack to 650 volts. Tanks with a three-layer structure made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic and other materials are used to store hydrogen at a very high pressure of 70 MPa (70 megapascals, or approximately 700 bar).

The auto industry should play a central role in the energy discussion, Akerson noted, because light-duty vehicles account for about 60% of total transportation energy usage in the United States. GM, said Akerson, is doing a much better job optimizing mass efficiency. The new Cadillac ATS is lighter than a comparable BMW 3-Series.
