There is a problem with outdoor air pollution. It is among the world’s most significant health and environmental issues. Smog is a leading risk factor for premature death, responsible for 3.4 million deaths each year. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions from cars and trucks are the primary source of smog.
3200 nautical mile range fuel cell electric aircraft with several new proprietary and patented technologies including the Eternium megawatt superconductive motor and variable propulsion system, removable battery module array, composite liquid hydrogen fuel storage, and Eternium's proprietary thermal management system.
It is often desirable to deliver extremely high power laser output by fiber optics rather than free space, e.g., for surgical, welding, spectroscopy, yet coupling very high optical intensity into even ‘larger silica core’ fiber is replete with challenges.
We designed high power DC modules intended to help electric vehicles (EV) charger manufacturers to expand their product line to fast chargers reaching hundreds of kilowatts to megawatts.
