[Gasification] ...a question about hybrids

[Mark Ludlow]

Hope springs eternal.

The standard "battery" is a capacitor. Refer to your high school physics
text to discover what its storage and discharge characteristics are. These
folk anticipate offering a lithium ion battery pack (read:$$), so it must
not be a cure-all for storage. Watt x hour density is ok but not phenomenal;
leakage is a big problem and cost is high.

Is this really going to take "...a minimum of three seconds" off the 0-60
time of my Turbo Carrera? All of that power transmitted through that 11mm
wide HTD belt drive!

What is the technology? Is it energy storage? Generator/motor hybridism? In
times of doubt, fall back on first principles: Conservation of Energy, Mass
and Momentum.

Dear All,

For producer gas it does have some arousing points:

For a genset it may help with governor droop.

For the auto and lorry the larger battery pak would help with cranking and
fanning. Also assist up hills. Furthermore at a stop light it could be
charging hence lower gasifier turndown ratio (maybe).
