Ceramic pump moves molten metal at a record 1,400 ?C; new avenues for energy storage and hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

The pump was developed by researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology, with collaborators from Purdue University and Stanford University. That technology differs from centrifugal and other pump technologies, but Henry chose it for its simplicity and ability to operate at relatively low speeds.
