    100 KWH in 5 minutes is 1.2 megawatts. Per car.

    Not many stations have that sort of power service, so they can have a
    bunch of diesel generators hidden behind the rest rooms.

    Thick pipe (not cable) from the back would not make sense. Most likely, they will charge up buffer batteries next to the EV first, then pump thousands of Amp into it.

    It will neither be NACS, nor the funny CCS. Either with multiple cables or some automated docking station. Thousand Amps connector is too much for human to handle.

    Or a big battery. Preferably a vanadium flow cell, if they can find one to buy,

    I was wondering if my old wind up alarm clock system
    could be used in cars, I had a toy car like that as a kid.
    So wind up your car as the 'wind' station.
    Could be from an electric motor or diesel or whatever.
    Use a flywheel to get break energy back to wind it up again.
    Would that work?

    Depends on what you like to do. I'd rather dremel FR4 than wear a tie

    It works. Let a zillion crazy ideas happen and a few will be big.

    In a more controlled economy, politicians predict the future and
    allocate resources, and are almost always wrong.

    Would that work?

    Flywheel energy storage keeps being reinvented and never much works.

    It has been used for extreme peak power - not a lot of energy - to
    power megagauss electromagnets and rail guns and such.

    Many of the latest EV designs use 800V systems (eg Porsche, Kia/Hyundai). Previous generation were 400V mainly limited by the active devices in the inverters.

    Larkin's calculation doesn't match the claim made in the article anyway.

    The article claimed to add 100 miles of range in 5 minutes, not fully charge the battery.

    100 miles at 3mi/kWh is 33kWh. To do that in 5 minutes requires 400kW. For an 800V system that means 500A of charge current.

    The CCS standard already supports that, and chargers that can do that have been around since 2019.

    100 KWH in 5 minutes is 1.2 megawatts. Per car.

    Not many stations have that sort of power service, so they can have a
    bunch of diesel generators hidden behind the rest rooms.

    From my copy of 'Theorie d'horlogerie' by Reymondin et al, the
    amount of energy you can store in a spring depends on the maximum
    allowable stress squared of the spring material, divided by its
    Young modulus, and multiplied by the volume of the spring material.
    It also says you can effectively get only about 17% of that value,
    because you have to shape that spring in some way to allow you to
    get the energy in and out.

    So, the maximum stress of spring steel is of the order of 3 GPa
    and its Young modulus is about 220 GPa. It has to fit inside a car,
    so let's assume a spring of 0.5m^3. That's roughly 20MJ, which is
    5.7kWh, of which only 1kWh is effectively useable. That's a scary
    contraption, which moreover won't get you very far.

    That's not going to work.

    No. But that is not what is claimed.

    You are attempting to ridicule the article based on your own use case that is not realistic and not stated in the article.

    I agree that the energy delivery rate of EV charging does not match that of liquid fuels but that doesn't mean it is impractical.

    My car is limited to 150kW charging rate but that has had a negligible effect on my ten years of EV ownership.

    There are very few cars that even require 100kWh to fully charge, the majority of long range EVs having batteries of 60-85 kWh.

    Also that is not the way that roadside charging is used in general, EV users on road trips typically recharge when the car gets down to 10-20% and charge up to 70-80%.

    Driving is fattening. You are supposed to take a ten minute break every two hours to move around and prevent your body from seizing up, and for most people that means a cup of coffee and a snack. Charging an EV is just another such an activity.

    Thick pipe (not cable) from the back would not make sense. Most likely, they will charge up buffer batteries next to the EV
    first, then pump thousands of Amp into it.

    Imagine the connector on the car. And the cable.

    What connector, wireless of course!

    A megawatt of wireless power transfer will be interesting.

    Serial scammers.

    Yes, does not look good, but making millions that way seems to work?

    Yes, invent something impossible, raise a lot of money, live the good
    life, repeat.

    More profit than dremeling along.

    Depends on what you like to do. I'd rather dremel FR4 than wear a tie
    and sit in meetings making bogus sales pitches.

    It depends.
    I once worked for a company that did make things for a.o. guided missiles
    and we had the tie and went to dinner with a general.
    Now my political views were not his....

    In the early TV days a tie and suit for engineers was a must.
    Running around with a big tec scope on a cart..
    Jeans came later..



    Capitalist world...

    It works. Let a zillion crazy ideas happen and a few will be big.

    Yea, I need a million for my prototype wind up car project, first delivery in 2027
    Actually started thinking about it, does not seem impossible ????


    In a more controlled economy, politicians predict the future and
    allocate resources, and are almost always wrong.

    That is true, plenty examples, but also plenty examples were it does work,
    and scares the .. out of the capitalist crowd (China is competitive)

    Ant heaps, some are differently organized, some have a queen even I think
    Bees and wasps, Sea creatures grow together into large living things,
    fish travel together, sharks feast on the groups
    Survival strategies for the species differ
    all work, else that species would not be around.

    I dunno, these days with man made special materials maybe a much higher factor would be possible?
    I was thinking of a rectangular frame like for under a car with compressed springs
    made of special materials pushing some bar / gear.
    Bit of hydroulics to compress the stuff.

    I need 100 million to make a prototype:-)
