Green Car Congress

JANUARY 13, 2011

The MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) has released a report on the proceedings—and papers that informed those proceedings—of the 8 April 2010 symposium on The Electrification of the Transportation System: Issues and Opportunities. The symposium was sponsored by the MIT Energy Initiative, together with Ormat, Hess, Cummins and Entergy.

Later in the program, teams that move to Phase 2 will focus on building components, unit operations, and prototype systems to reduce technical risks and costs. The team’s approach uses a novel and low-cost heat-pump thermal storage system. In FLECCS Phase 2, up to $31 million in additional funding will be available for teams.

Constant Gardener ] via [ RobotStart ] Engineers at MIT and Shanghai Jiao Tong University have designed a soft, lightweight, and potentially low-cost neuroprosthetic hand. It's been a hectic couple of days, so here are some retired industrial robots quietly drawing lines in sand. Yanran Ding ] Thanks Fan!

Engineers at Georgia Tech are the first to study the mechanics of springtails, which leap in the water to avoid predators. As part of the challenge, teams of engineers have developed vehicles capable of prospecting for resources in a test-bed simulating the Moon's shaded polar regions. Paper ] Thanks, Nathanaël!

Moreover, it cannot quantify the amount of virus present with high accuracy and might have false negative rates of more than 25 percent. The above quantum sensor for the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus uses only low-cost materials. MIT The nano-diamonds and the other materials used in the test are cheap.

Steven Kaye: ONE’s anode-free cell advantages include high energy density (thin lithium metal anode), low cost (no anode present during cell assembly, low-cost liquid electrolyte), and abundant raw materials (mostly manganese, zero cobalt). The challenge is that anode-free cells still have low cycle life.

This is from "Commercializing Plug-In Hybrids" (pdf), the current CalCars 24-slide presentation about PHEVs available along with other documents at CalCars Downloads. Agrees on environmental and economic benefits, though some presentations backtrack on that; says batteries need further development before commitment to mass-production.
