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.

ARPA-E awards $35M to 12 new projects to support medium-voltage devices for grid, industry and transportation

Green Car Congress

Drexel University aims to design a significantly more efficient, fast, low-cost, compact, and reliable circuit breaker for medium-voltage direct-current (MVDC) power system. The design should allow for scaling in voltage and current, enabling a range of circuit breakers across the MV application space.
