Altair adds Sendyne battery system simulation software to support advanced EV battery systems design

Green Car Congress

An accurate battery model is the starting point for battery pack design, system control and optimization. Taking a physics-based approach to simulating integrated systems that is accurate and runs faster than real-time can significantly improve the design of battery-based systems and optimize their long-term performance and safety.

ABTC inferred resources report finds Tonopah Flats may hold 15.8 million tons lithium carbonate equivalent

Green Car Congress

Standard assaying of head grades was performed using a representative array of samples selected from 21 drill holes. The sample was homogenized by cone-and-quarter methods and pulverized to 100 mesh to obtain a statistically repetitive sample. Lithium mineralization was encountered in all 21 drill holes submitted for analysis.

Setting a new standard for battery leak testing

Charged EVs

There currently are no reliable tests on which to base leak-detection standards for a full range of soft-pouch, cylindrical or prismatic battery cells in use throughout the industry. Charged : Do you think that, with your new tests available, the industry could begin to adopt quality-control standards for EV batteries?

Tesla modifies airbag placement in Model 3 Highland

Teslarati

Since the announcement, however, some have also spotted that Tesla may have removed a front-seat airbag from the design, leaving some onlookers with questions. Interestingly, the manual also shows that the design has an additional airbag inside the driver’s seat, which appears to be the same one noticed in China-built Model Y units last year.

EPA Proposes Stronger Air Quality Standards for SO2; First Proposed Increase Since 1971

Green Car Congress

For the first time in nearly 40 years, EPA is proposing to strengthen the nation’s sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) primary air quality standard to protect public health. EPA is taking comment on a proposal to establish a new national one-hour SO 2 standard, between 50 and 100 parts per billion (ppb). US SO 2 emissions by source sector in 2005.

Mesh Wearables Meld Micro Sensors and LoRa Smarts

Cars That Think

As a case in point, consider a new wearable mesh health-monitor that does away with the “box and a strap” architecture that is still the industry’s de facto commercial design standard. Design boosts the wearable’s wearability, its chief advocate says. government statistics show that 13.9 He calls it “biosymbiotic.”
