well yes for this system were hoping that a battery can be fast recharged in the bus and that a reasonable capacity can be cycled without damaging it. Were also hoping to utiliuse the efficiency of lithium ion type batteries to mitigate against overheating. I'm sure this sort of stuff is studied...

hmmn, although of no use to you, maybe the best solution is for power distribution company to fund DC low voltage and small wind turbines that might fit inside a cage to be installed at the top of the pylon, causing negligible stress on the pylon. The distribution company installs this to...

yeah I think I have seen that, it adds about 5% or so, on truck exhaust systems.

yes also the charger would be overhead and I am exploring that option as well.

hey thanks for reply Yes thats the upper ammount and it assumes charging 3+kwh at the stop in a single minute. From driver surveys and other sources the bus type I am researching would basically be at the stop one minute+, and the good thing is that as the bus is bus is filled it needs more...

I'm currently looking at research and available research on bus energy consumption via wheel and acceleration and aerodynamic resistance, and mitigating solutions to each, as well as power coinsumption relatioinship to bus size and weight as well as duty cycle characteristics. Research also will...

I'm looking for commercially available small diesel generators that can supply from about 15-30KW of power for hybrid bus concept, and I'm also looking not only for light weight but also for maximum efficiency. At present the best systems, based on APU's from trucks, appear to do no more than...

I'm looking for commercially available small diesel generators that can supply from about 15-30KW of power, and I'm also looking not only for light weight but also for maximum efficiency. At present the best systems, based on APU's from trucks, appear to do no more than 25% efficiency. I'm also...

Hello I am researching rechargable buses and hybrids that could top up power at bus stops. Intended for UK city routes. I am needing to identify charging equipment as well as resources on related schemes. The charging rate may be as high as 200kw and presumably will be a 750volt charging...

I forgot to put, the Iron generates hydrogen through the addition of water, which also has to be carried.

You could also use Iron to generate Iron Oxide and Hydrogen gas, which goes direct to the engine. Then you are left with a tank of Iron Oxide. This can (in theory) be regenerated via addition of hydrogen at a later stage (i.e. the refilling station) which converts the Iron Oxide back to Fe. The...
