CPT developing 48-volt electric supercharger for micro-mild hybrids

Green Car Congress

At 48 volts, a VTES electric supercharger will transform 7kW of battery power into a highly boosted charge of air for downsized gasoline and diesel engines. There will be no torque deficit or other tradeoffs from essential engine downsizing and higher gearing, which now dominates the development of internal combustion engines.

Magnetic eCVT could replace conventional hybrid mechanical eCVT with likely 1-2% fuel economy improvement and other benefits

Green Car Congress

Magnomatics says that a typical installation would have MAGSPLIT mounted directly onto the crankcase of the internal combustion engine. In-built torsional compliance reduces drivetrain pulsations, and could obviate the need for flywheels and torsional dampers, Kirby suggested. Click to enlarge.

He was formerly with the University of Wisconsin and Rockwell International, and holds a Ph.D. Most drivers of BEVs will need two cars: the electric car for economical short range commuting, and a separate conventional liquid-fuel internal combustion vehicle for long distance travel.
