An old-fashioned triode vacuum tube does that using a voltage applied to its grid electrode. In the Apollo missions to the moon during the 1960s and ’70s, magnetic amplifiers controlled power supplies and fan blowers. Researchers soon constructed what was called core memory from dense grids of magnetic cores. An amplifier, by.

MIT spinoff A123 was a personal favorite, also Germany’s Continental was in the running, but it was LG Chem subsidiary and Detroit based Compact Power, Inc. Whatever its final deal wth Compact power, GM also could keep the Continental-A123 consortium doing battery development work for future versions. that got the nod.

As new and expanded state funding opportunities arise in the future, such as those created by the VW settlement funds, states would be wise to follow California’s HVIP voucher program model to help them get the most value from these programs. While at MIT, Clay conducted his thesis on strategies for grid-scale energy storage applications.

In addition, using smaller batteries would allow more EVs to be built, and potentially relieve pressure on the battery supply chain. Ford’s cheapest F-150 Lightning Pro is now $57,869 compared to $41,769 a year ago due to what Ford says are “ongoing supply chain constraints, rising material costs and other market factors.”

"The Volt continues to be one of our highest priorities among all GMs future product programs and remains on track for a November 2010 launch," spokesman David Darovitz told Automotive News. One wonders if the recent headway at MIT in building lithium ion cells using ?virus? assuming electric cars actually have a future.
