This is one of the better articles I've read about EEStor. It covers all the traditional angles while underscoring that EEStor's technology isn't just about electric cars but involves practically thousands of uses in thousands of types of devices. Here's an excerpt:An electric vehicle needs a source of electricity that’s as light and powerful as possible. A lithium-ion battery, the emerging
Suppose I read this article which mentions barium titanate, the theme of this blog, and I didnt understand a bit of it. Should my sense of being an authority on barium titanate be diminished? Nah. Authority right here, ok?
Here's a new and well written overview article by Adam Miller on EEstor. Excerpt: The advance is based on a barium-titanate insulator claimed to increase the specific energy far beyond that achievable with today's ultracapacitor technology. It is claimed that this new advance allows for a specific energy of about 280 watts per kilogram -- more than double that of the most advanced lithium-ion
nextenergynews.com article with this interesting excerpt on barium titanite:Dick Weir, founder and CEO of EEStor said that there would be an announcement soon on permittivity of its barium titanite powder, considered a major benchmark that would trigger future payments to EEStor from ZENNgoing on......But...."the company said it has not yet tested the technology in a vehicle application yet."
Here's the wikipedia link for EEStor.The current wikipedia overview:EEstor is a company based in Cedar Park, Texas, USA. It is a start up company pioneering a new energy storage technology.The company claims to have developed a superior type of supercapacitor, using barium titanate coated with aluminum oxide and glass, to achieve a level of capacitance much higher than what is currently available
