Project Details:

To decrease our dependence on fossil fuels and battery systems like lithium-ion technology that require rare earth metals and non-renewable toxic electrolytic chemicals and find an eco-friendlier way of storing energy, we invented a far more efficient and zero-carbon emission storage system.

The Electro-Spark Engine is a revolutionary approach to combine electrical systems such as solid-state batteries, engines, generators, and supercapacitor technologies to make the Energy Storage System much more efficient in Energy Density. It aims to increase the energy-weight density, making them entirely pollution-free and much more cost-efficient with faster-charging rates, and more charging/discharging cycles.

This engine can generate, store, and supply high-voltage electric current. It works on the principle of the Van de Graaff’s Generator based on static electricity that says when an isolated charged conductor is brought internally in contact with the hollow conductor, all the charges from the inner conductor are transferred to the surface of the outer conductor regardless of what amount of electrostatic charge is already present on the outer shell. Therefore, our idea is to make the entire body of the respective vehicle as the Van de Graaff’s generator’s shell instead of adding two or more hollow shells occupying more space. This integrated approach will also be more space efficient, and this engine will be able to accumulate a higher amount of electric charge.
