Below is the response to some questions I had from Gary;
The energy storage device we are building is being put together to hold the highest amount of energy possible in the smallest space possible.
Since the release of video of Robert putting a 2000 Farad capacitor together in the approx size of a credit card, we have reduced that to a significantly smaller size, Layer these together and pick the energy you would like to see stored. What is great is our work will be on display at the Battery Show in roughly 12 DAYS
As far as car development, I can think of no better space where we can demonstrate the power of our energy storage device than this market. Yes the car is a concept car. It is being constructed from some known components - and some proprietary systems - the heart of the car is the Graphene Energy storage device - it is also a rethink of how electric cars are currently managed. From rethinking the powertrain to an active generation system and the new core storage unit.
Each tire will be independently driven and controlled for traction control, so no braking to control loss of traction just lower the power at the wheel that is slipping (that way no loss of inertia) and you can add power to the others that are not , and you can do the same for cornering or turning . A vehicle pushes a lot of air, this air is a braking effect against the vehicle at whatever speed you are moving at( imagine holding a 30" by 60" piece of steel up in a forty mile an hour wind), so why not incorporate a system to direct some of that wind energy to generate power for the battery so you can extend your vehicle's range ? You do need highly efficient lightweight system to do this, and Edison has that.
So the bottom line is a rethink of how things are done and a more comprehensive view of what a car can be and how energy storage can be implemented .
