The hydrogen storage system Sandia designed for GM. Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have successfully designed and demonstrated key features of a hydrogen storage system that utilizes a complex metal hydride material—sodium alanate. The system, developed through a multiyear project funded by General Motors Corp.,

Charged EVs

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021

In an EV, while using the HVAC won’t detract from the maximum output of the traction motor, it does still demand energy from the battery, so there will be a hit to range. A at 115 VAC, or 586 W, which works out to a COP of 3.0 that is, 6,000 / 3.412 = 1,758 W of heat moved vs 586 W used), which is fairly good, all things considered.

Cars That Think

JULY 30, 2021

In my research at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, I study the brains of one of these larger insects, the dragonfly. By harnessing the speed, simplicity, and efficiency of the dragonfly nervous system, we aim to design computers that perform these functions faster and at a fraction of the power that conventional systems consume.
