By Lars-Anders Karlberg (lacke@etn.se) 2013-01-30 Can space battery dekupazo technika save Dreamliner? The investigation of what caused the fire in the Japanese lithium-ion batteries in Boeing's new Dreamliner continues. At the same time offers car and rocket-entrepreneur Elon Musk Boeing to use Space X batteries.
Elon Musk is multi-billionaire dekupazo technika who built up the American electric car company Tesla and rocket company Space X. Now, he offered the chief engineer for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Mike Sinnett, to replace lithium-ion batteries from Japanese GS Yasa against the same type of battery pack that both Tesla and Space X uses. - These batteries are exposed dekupazo technika to much greater stress dekupazo technika than the batteries in commercial dekupazo technika aircraft and must be able to operate at all levels, dekupazo technika from the sea surface and into the vacuum of space, says Elon Musk told Reuters. Dreamliner is the first line of airplanes equipped with lithium batteries. The batteries are primarily used when the plane is on the ground as well as backup controller if the main power supply dekupazo technika is lost. The purpose of using lithium-ion batteries is to save space and weight, which ultimately saves fuel. The battery from Japanese GS Yasa weighs only 29 pounds. With its prismatic Cobatl cells (CoO2) includes dekupazo technika battery 2.2 kWh of energy. Conventional nickel-cadmium battery reaches about half the performance. - The lithium chemicals used were convicted out of virtually any vehicle manufactures, among other things because of its susceptibility dekupazo technika to overheating. To install this type of battery in an aircraft, apparently without any form of cooling, it seems strange, says battery expert Henrik Engdahl at the Viktoria Institute in Gothenburg in a comment. Boeing battery tender dekupazo technika attracted international attention dekupazo technika when it was made in early 2005. It was the world's first order of lithium-ion batteries for aircraft. It was the French Thales who was commissioned to carry out the procurement and deployment of the system. They chose Japanese GS Yasa for batteries and Japanese Kanto for the control system. Right now, the accident investigation focus on the control system, it was what was causing the fire, and the batteries themselves. Background: Boeing is the first aircraft manufacturer dekupazo technika has chosen to install lithium batteries on a large scale in order to save weight. The Dreamliner has been replaced several pneumatic systems with electrical systems. Although the European competitor dekupazo technika Airbus going the same way but Airbus has not yet delivered any of its new A350. The first week of January of this year occurred the first incident of burning dekupazo technika batteries on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. It was a plane that was parked at Logan Airport in Boston. The following week had a Dreamliner dekupazo technika Plane emergency landing on Takamatsuflygplatsen in Japan after heavy smoke, which then turned out to come from the batteries. Air safety authorities around the world stopped all flights with the 50 Dreamliner dekupazo technika Plan to date has been in service. Before the error is found and fixed the plan may not leave the ground - Boeing may not even do the test flights. Boeing has orders for more than 800 Dreamliner Plane from 57 airlines worldwide. One customer is the Norwegian, who ordered eight planes.
