End of life

System and methods for SOH assessment and prognosis of battery systems for vehicle and grid applications Accounts for duty cycle, severity factors and calendar life of specific applications Applies to multiple chemistries - Li, NiMH, PbA Applies to EVs, PHEVs, grid storage, engine start-stop, UPS applications. We have the technical capabilities and facilities to develop this idea to a demonstrator OSU CAR needs investment capital to develop a working demonstrator

We seek investment partners: FleetCalc

A fleet and policy software tool for evaluating the impact of alternative fuel technologies in commercial vehicle fleets.
based on vehicle simulations using vocational drive cycles; not aggregate EPA data gives fleet owners accurate life cycle information of how a technology will perform in a specific application provides policy makers with comprehensive scenario analysis capabilities

FleetCalc is being developed and validated with heavy-duty chassis dynamometer (collected at OSU CAR) and with fleet data We have the technical capabilities and facilities to develop this idea OSU CAR needs investment capital to develop a beta version of the software, and to build services around it

We seek investment partners: SimpleFill

A transformational approach to home refueling for Compressed Natural Gas New liquid piston compression method leads to: - one tenth the cost of existing systems - breaks the chicken & egg problem with CNG - enormous potential market (on the order of $1B) Two patents filed We have the technical capabilities and facilities to develop this idea to a demonstrator OSU CAR needs investment capital to develop a working demonstrator

Contact: Dr. James Durand durand.14@osu.edu

We seek investment partners: 3CRec Waste Heat Recovery Engine

A novel approach for recovering waste heat from IC engines
Based on an overexpansion of the exhaust gases in the Brayton cycle Does not require any expensive, high-temperature materials Can increase fuel economy by 5 to 10% in a truck application by powering auxiliaries

Large potential market (any over-the-road truck) We have the technical capabilities and facilities to develop this idea to a demonstrator (proof of concept already exists) OSU CAR needs investment capital to develop a working demonstrator
