Pingie: HTTP:: Ultracapacitors to Boost Hybrid Battery Efficiency

HTTP:: Ultracapacitors to Boost Hybrid Battery Efficiency
--------
At this point, one of the main obstacles preventing the full-scale development and implementation of electric or hybrid vehicles is the prohibitive cost of batteries, as well as their reduced mileage. Potential buyers weigh all these factors in when deciding what type and brand of car to purchase, but experts believe that refining ultracapacitor technology and applying it to batteries could make the choice a lot more simple. Battery packs in electric vehicles could potentially become hundreds or thousands of dollars cheaper than they are today, while also having their sizes cut in half. A new study from scientists at the University of California in Davis hints at the fact that ultracapacitors may, indeed, be one of the possible roads to the future, when it comes to batteries. They also add that vehicles using microhybrids â€" small, electric motors â€" could also benefit from innovation in the field of battery performance and efficacy. Expert Theodore Bohn, from the Argonn!
e National Laboratory's (ANL) Advanced Powertrain Research Facility, believes that recent advancements in capacitor technology have reached a point where the tools can coordinate their interaction with batteries and accurately regulate their power output. Ultracapacitors are far more efficient than batteries at storing pow...
