idea is to use powder contained in tubs. the walls will have a perforated mesh whos holes angle up and out so that the powder cannot escape. Nickel wires will be placed in the powder to conduct out of the cell. -Contact area is not optimal - that's why they use liquid electrolyte?-MJ

design

ideas

  • add a couple super capacitors to get some cold cranking amps?
    • not sure if that would work but just an idea
  • two tubs with grid on four sides of each or shared center.
  • fins for surface area.
  • cages that snap in to the bottom of a tub shared by two cages.
  • might use a part of a sphere for the snap in idea.
  • tub lid
    • tub lid will need some sort of two pole terminal block
      • from cages below
      • to next tub or out for use
    • might need some sort of cover for uninsulated wires from cage
    • vent for gas?

  • need to make parametric for 10 tub battery
    • maybe input number of rows and columns so it can be a single row or two side by side
  • might move side spacers onto cages. 3 sphere divots. 1 middle top and 2 side by side bottom, flip on opposite face. 1 or 2 on non mesh sides.

chemistry

Nickel Hydroxide Nickel-Iron_Battery/Chemistry Wikipedia electronicspani.com - NiFe Battery


calculations

  • nickel hydroxide Ni(OH)2
    • 4.10 g/cm3

to research later

would liked to have an info for:
Ah/gram
impact surface area has
calculate AWG output based on dimensions of cage and cells

bom

hardware

nickel, aluminum, brass?
