Slot cars on steroids: the birth of electric motorsport
The prospect of zero emission, near-silent race cars has set moustaches twitching throughout the motorsport fraternity. Many see it as heresy, while the enlightened few realize that we have a golden opportunity to inject some new life into a hundred-year-old sport. Doug Peck, editor at emotorsportnews.com, explains why the future of racing runs on… Read more »
EV racer takes to the streets of Monte Carlo
Thursday saw Formulec’s EF01 become the first 100% electric single‐seater to take to the fabled streets of Monte Carlo.
Drayson Racing unveils its electric Le Mans prototype
The Lola-Drayson B12/69EV is one green racing machine, built to dominate the Grand Prix track.
Drayson Racing to debut electric car at 2012 Low Carbon Racing Conference
Drayson Racing isn’t your typical motor sports team. Headed by Lord Drayson, who was once the UK’s Minister of Science and Innovation, the team is “committed to advancing environmentally responsible automotive technologies through the use of motorsports, science and technology,” and placed third in last year’s International Le Mans Cup with a car powered by… Read more »
Amorim Cork Solutions introduces cork composite for EV battery thermal runaway management
Amorim Cork Solutions has developed ETP058, a cork-based engineered composite for use between and around battery cells in EV and energy storage systems, combining thermal insulation, flame resistance and mechanical compressibility in a single material. The composite has a thermal conductivity of 0.054 W/m·K and meets UL94 V-0 flammability rating for samples thicker than 2… Read more »
Arteco expands low-conductivity coolant options for EV indirect cooling systems
Arteco has added two patented coolants to its Freecor EV Milli range—Freecor EV Milli 20 (Si-OAT) and Freecor EV Milli 30 (P-OAT)—completing a three-product lineup of low-electrical-conductivity (LECC) formulations for indirect cooling systems in battery electric vehicles. The existing Freecor® EV Milli 10 uses standard OAT technology; the two additions bring silicate-OAT and phosphate-OAT variants…. Read more »
Inlyte Energy taps Ervin Industries for domestic iron battery supply chain
Inlyte Energy has struck a supply chain agreement with Ervin Industries, a US iron materials manufacturer founded over 100 years ago, to develop iron powder formulas optimized for Inlyte’s iron-sodium battery systems. The collaboration aims to expand Inlyte’s domestic materials sourcing and reduce dependence on overseas supply chains. Ervin produces engineered steel shot, grit and… Read more »
Kodak and Ateios extend RaiCore battery electrodes to LFP, NMC, LCO with PFAS-free verification
Ateios Systems and Kodak say they have expanded the RaiCore battery electrode platform to three of the industry’s biggest cathode chemistries—lithium iron phosphate (LFP), nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) and lithium cobalt oxide (LCO)—while also securing third-party verification that the electrodes are PFAS-free. The companies say independent testing found total organic fluorine levels below the analytical… Read more »
SciMo bets automated flat-wire windings can beat hand-built specialty motors in high-performance niches
In electric motor engineering, copper is king, and winding architecture is one of the main levers engineers use to balance power density, efficiency, cooling and manufacturability. Higher copper fill in the stator can reduce winding resistance and improve current loading for a given package size, but only if the design also manages the magnetic, thermal… Read more »
