Hardly a week goes by without some hopeful news about EEStors emergence from secrecy. I invite you to read the [press release] http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release.do?id=837653 of ZENN Motor Company’s Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders (published by Marketwire)with encouraging data regarding the availability and performance of the EEStor Ultracapacitor technology — still holding our breath just imagine a configuration build from unconfirmed data!
The unit is said to hold 15kwh which could provide a PEV with : – an autonomy of say 60 miles (100km) with a – unit weight of approximately 100lbs (45 kilos)
Now, considering Zenn’s announced 250 miles (400km) of autonomy we are looking at an energy storage package designed to be racked or stacked, capable of microsecond recharging that weighs approximately 400lbs (180kg) and hold 60kwh.
Configure this on Sean Seamour III with an Oorja Protonics direct methanol fuel cell generating 10kwh with power reserve to punch through bad weather in the ultracapacitor; wind, solar and regenerative sailing feeding the storage bank with no internal resistance other than maximum capacity – why am I still holding my breath?
p.s. Oorja Protonics, perhaps at the emerging industry leader in ultra-powerful Direct Methanol Fuels Cells (DMFCs) will give the first public showing of their innovative OorjaPac™ on-board battery charging system for the material handling industry on Tuesday April, 22
