We’re Charging Our Cars Wrong

Cars That Think

The function of the port is to convert AC power from the grid into DC, which is then applied to the battery. Within this circuit, a high-frequency transformer provides physical separation between grid power and the electric vehicles battery. The transformers that connect directly to low-frequency utility power are heavy and bulky.

Sandia team puts power into local grid with supercritical CO2 closed-loop Brayton-cycle turbine

Green Car Congress

Sandia National Laboratories researchers recently delivered electricity produced by a new power-generating system to the Sandia-Kirtland Air Force Base electrical grid. In comparison, the Brayton cycle has a theoretical conversion efficiency upwards of 50%. It took us a long time to get the data needed to let us connect to the grid.
