E-Quant and the nanodflowcell... did you heard about that?

A 920hp car using what they say: salt water :| it's electric as well..




look like very similar to the well known Rimac!

Another futuristic prototype that will never come to the market... ?... lol... i just wonder what you think about?


Doc

Wow, Doc.
Why didn't anyone tell me that the most basic laws of physics had been repealed?

...would give my left testicle for that.

So we just got to see Tesla MS xx D. Exciting as it was I came across the Quant.
New to me. 920 HP family (racing)car. 4 motors, one in each corner. 0-60 = 2.8 sec. Top speed 380km/h. Range 600 km.
New batteries with salt water reservoir. Not sure how that works. Or even if this technology is production ready.
And how do I even find the time to read up on their new technology? Is someone familiar with their concept and able to explain it in layman's terms in an executive manner?

Is the car running on batteries using salt water rather then other chemicals to store energy or does it use some kind of "salt water tank" to store energy - where the salt water contains the energy much like hydrogen is an energy carrier. Rather then the source itself. If it got some kind of tank with liquid salt water will we see salt water filling stations in the future? Where you dump your used salt water which contains no more usable energy, and replace it with freshly charged salt water.

think we will see this in production any time soon?

Quant the salt water running (racing)car

I think it is was has been called a metal oxide battery. Aluminum (aluminum oxide) was a candidate as has been magnesium. Not sure what they are settled on here. Just add a bit of salt water and it starts to dissolve the oxide and creates electricity doing so. Stop adding the water and the battery action slows to a stop eventually. You replace the oxide when spent. Numbers look very promising. Cost? With this type of power density, things will be very different for EV's adaptation.

How goes it ES? Haven't been on in awhile but what the general take on this cool machine? I am curious about how this technology can be applied to other things ....What would it take to make a small flow battery for bench testing? What are the materials used to make the electrolyte and separator membrane? I'm currently looking for information to read about it. Would be cool to have a battery that could be "refilled" with liquid fuel.

Flow batteries are comparable to lead if not worse. I love the idea of the car but wish they had used the standard battery pack they have in the car already and just put a range extender option on it.

Look into the car abit more and its actually using http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanadium_redox_battery which at its best is something like 40wh/kg. Love the layout of the 4 motors and the active stability and traction control, ironically it should be fairly easy to adapt a modern car with similar features just piggy backing onto the ESC units already in most new cars.
