使用燃料電池發展電動車才是王道
假設我跟你們說電動車應該要像軌道車一樣,買電池回來裝,沒電就換個新電池,你們應該會覺得我在開玩笑。
但是事實上我們確實已經在車庫的實驗室裡發展出以鋅為氧化燃料的鋅空電池ZOE(Zinc Oxygen Energy)。這款電池容易更換,不需要建置高成本的充電站,而且其電能可以直觀、可以量化,既不會製造環境污染,又可重複使用、而且價格便宜。大家一定會覺得這東西怎麼到現在才被發明?事實上它是愛迪生時代的老東西,只是優勢效能的交流電發明後立刻取代了直流電,從此燃料電池少有人聞問。
ZOE鋅空電池基本零件構造圖
ZOE鋅空電池是一種利用鋅金屬氧化後所產生電力的高效率燃料電池能源系統。化學電池氧化的時候會放電,當金屬全部氧化、電能耗盡,就換一片新的進去;至於電能耗盡後的燃料(氧化鋅)可回收,再利用太陽能還原。這聽起來好像是化學實驗室才會幹的事情,但是它已經具備商品化的條件。
因為ZOE燃料電池的好處是,消費者每次拿到的都是全新的產品,不會有一般電池的記憶效應,可以量化,而且鋅不是貴重金屬,而且能進行氧化還原。比起現在車用的鋰電池來說更為輕巧外,替換方式也很簡單。
鋅空電池將發動我們的秘密武器Salamander
別以為我們在打嘴砲,這款電池我們已經實際應用在全新綠能概念車Salamander上,Salamander目前是是亞洲地區唯一獲得美國X-PRIZE賽車大賽入賽權的團隊,這項創世紀的「世界高效能源車大賽」,是一次結合美國朝野對新世代綠能車發展高度決心與期待的比賽,屆時Salamander將與20個國家的綠能菁英團隊競技。

注意一下,他只寫 電池重量輕,續航力大,但沒寫"體積"大不大???😀
其實看起來效能和成本是和鋰鐵電池差不多!
鋰鐵電池雖然號稱充放速度快,且循環次數極高,
但鋰鐵電池到現在也是OOXX,連LUXGEN的電動車,還是要搞成鋰電池。

所以
因為電力可量化
所以換電池時
實際是更換單位電池板
而不是更換整個電池

這個一樣,報喜不報憂,
請問一下,要在電池電力剩下一成的時候去電池交換站? 還是電力剩下兩成的時候才去交換站?
沒人敢算得剛剛好,電力剛好夠開到交換站換電池吧??
這樣不就把還有1~2成電力的極板浪費掉了?
如果鋅空電池這麼好
那先用在火車上吧...

一般來說,氫燃料的問題是在於儲存,但未來可能可以用奈米碳管解決儲存氫氣的問題,
只不過....現在生產氫氣的工廠,主要是煉油過程中,以化學反應式來生產氫氣,
並不是靠電解,把H2O分成氫和氧,
搞了老半天,便宜的氫氣還是一樣要靠石油,而不是靠水!😀
http://www.cpc.com.tw/big5/content/index01.asp?sno=191&pno=108
輕油裂解就是將輕油 (又稱石油腦) 通過裂解爐爐管,使其在 830℃ 的高溫後斷裂分解為原子量較小的成份,再經過一連串的製程分餾後,以取得氫氣、乙烯、丙烯、丁二烯、芳香烴等一系列石化基本原料。是所有石化工場中最基本的工場,而其主要產品乙烯的產量,也被視為判斷石化產能的重要依據。民國八十三年台灣的乙烯年產量在全世界排名第十七名。

理想的情況用太陽熱能還原鋅
那鋅在理論上可以在一個循環裡面重覆使用
但也不要忘了鋅的蘊藏量很大
用比煉油還低的成本把它煉製出來而不用"昂貴"的太陽能來還原
還是可行的吧?

也可以設計成10顆小電池,一樣是當電池一顆沒電自動切換到另一顆,當最後顯示只剩一顆有電時,就去換掉其他9顆沒電的電池。

這要看是用並聯還是串聯的?
單一電池是否能夠提供足夠的瓦數,若不足瓦,車子就推不動了!
但一般都是串聯的才能提供足瓦.......要不然不夠力啦!
而用充電電池,到處都有電(能源),就沒有這樣的問題!
充電電池一般也不是從0充到100,而是從約40~50充到100,
充電電池必須保留基本的電容量,充電時間大多會比預期要少些。

其實電動馬達是只要達到額定電壓就能轉
瓦數多是讓它轉比較久
所以單位電池板電量只要能量化
c電池串聯出足夠電壓
c耗完電切成d同樣的電壓
降是可行的辦法

其實車子應該是不同的加速和不同的時速有不同的用電量。
比如設計1~5顆可以同時供電,因不同的用電量去選擇不同的電池數去同時供電。
然後設計成電量比較少的優先供電,當其中一顆沒電自動切換到另一顆,這樣等至少5顆沒電就可以去換電池。
如果怕這樣太常換電池,也可以設成最多3顆同時供電。
如果電池數放越多變化就越多,簡單的說就是用多電池,再用自動切換,到時換電池只要換沒電的電池就好了。

轉貼Leo Motors, Inc. (Pink Sheets: LEOM) announced today that it has received official government test results on its Zinc Air Fuel Cell Generator (ZAFCG).
Leo has also developed the ZAFC generation system to be operated from inside of a zinc-hybridized electric vehicle (EV). Leo has patented technologies to feed zinc balls into the system automatically, to collect sludge in the filter, and to stop the generation of electricity as soon as the battery is fully charged, or as soon as the driver does not want to charge the battery any further from the ZAFCG. Dr. Kang, CEO of Leo Motors, stated, “Many professionals have tried to develop a system to use ZAFCG from inside the car, but nobody else has succeeded that we know.”
In the test, Leo found that 1 kg of zinc balls can generate 12.5 kW electric energy in its ZAFCG. At 12.5 kW, Leo’s electric compact car can run 126 km (78 miles). The retail price of 1 kg of zinc balls is around $3.40 US. So, Leo’s compact EV costs only $4.40 to run 100 miles by using Leo’s ZAFC generator, which is less than a third of the cost to run a gasoline engine in Korea, when comparing the mileage and cost of the petroleum-based fuels.
The specific gravity of zinc is 7.2, meaning a one-liter container can carry 7.2 kg of zinc balls. Accordingly, it is expected that a compact EV can run 1,600 miles with a three-liter zinc tank in the car. Thus, a ZAFC hybrid EV can use far less space in the car than an engine generator plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV).
Dr. Kang added, “In Korea, we believe the energy cost efficiency of zinc used in ZAFCG can compete against crude oil, not only in EVs but in many circumstances. For example, a thermoelectric power plant can replace oil with zinc without cost burden, and in doing so can make itself into a zero emission thermoelectric power plant.”
In addition, the “sludge” collected in the filter of the ZAFCG, which is zinc oxide, has economic value as it can be recycled or can be used as valuable raw material for rubber in tires, ointments to prevent bacteria and fungi from reproducing, a sunscreen and in paints, and in other applications.
