- Technical achievements to date:
Fabricated/tested 50V/2kJ capacitor
|
COMMERCIALIZATION
- Product/service name:
Electrochemical Capacitor
- Primary target/potential
market sectors: Uninterruptable power supplies, defibrillators, pulse
power sources
- Cumulative sales revenues
to date by target market sector: $35K (pulse power)
- Unique competitive advantage
-- For each target sector, the use of an all solid ionomer capacitor,
with no corrosive acids or bases present
|
GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE
APPLICATIONS
- Potential NASA application
-- use as a pulse power source on Space Shuttle for Electromechanical
Actuator activation
- Potential Air Force application
-- charge storage device in an UPS
- Significant cost savings
are expected due to weight reductions from removal of hydraulic systems.
