Their patented system is called COIL, for Cylindrical Objects Individually Linked, and accounts for potential future battery developments. “COIL, at its heart, is one cell with one mechanical link, slid into one segment of “conduit” that makes the electrical connections.
The superconducting coil’s absence of resistive losses and the low level of losses in the solid-state power conditioning contribute to the system’s efficiency. SMES offer a quick response for charge or discharge, in a way an energy battery operates. In contrast to a battery, the energy available is unaffected by the rate of discharge.
The new energy power battery shells on the market are mainly square in shape, usually made of 3003 aluminum alloy using hot rolled deep drawing process. Depending on the design requirements of the power battery, the thickness and width can be customized.
Rather than focusing on building a new or better battery, OCoil’s founders Daniel Roddy and Andrew Scogna have designed a flexible and modular energy solution that leverages existing battery technology. Their patented system is called COIL, for Cylindrical Objects Individually Linked, and accounts for potential future battery developments.
Cooling system: a system used to control battery temperature to improve battery performance and lifespan. The parts that may use aluminum alloy materials in the cooling system include power battery water cooling plates, heat sinks, etc. Battery pack shell: the external shell used to secure and protect the battery module.
“COIL, at its heart, is one cell with one mechanical link, slid into one segment of “conduit” that makes the electrical connections. Such links and the mechanical systems have been in use by the military for around eighty years”, informs Daniel.
