Clean Tech News & Views: EVs, Solar Energy, Batteries
One very common mistake people make when thinking about EV energy usage is to compare it to ICE vehicles. On the surface, this seems like a fair comparison, because it takes a certain amount of energy to go down the road, right? But, it’s never that simple. Combustion engines have a nasty habit of producing crazy amounts of waste heat, or heat energy that doesn’t contribute to moving the vehicle down the road.
Add in other things, like the cost of maintenance for a machine with dozens of fast moving parts, oil changes, tune-ups, transmission flush-fills, and changing out everything from water pumps to alternators to timing belts, and ICE engines are put at an even bigger disadvantage compared to EVs. How does it work? Instead of trying to use the pressure of combustion to move the parts that move the car, the Lightcell is designed to generate electricity by turning fuel into light and then converting that bright light into power to charge batteries or directly power an electric motor in much the same way as a diesel-electric locomotive. But, it seems likely that there’d at least be some buffer capacity to allow for a smaller but more continuously operating efficient burn.
