A Metal Hydride Solid Oxide Battery has been explored to answer the need for high energy density power required for High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) aircraft. Lithium Hydride is a fuel source that can be stably stored for long periods allowing for a high level of readiness. Further, Lithium Hydride has a high energy density. The electrochemical oxidation of Lithium Hydride is far more effect ...

This Phase I SBIR project intends to demonstrate the feasibility of a freshwater microbial community microarray, called the WaterChip™, for detecting the presence of an important model for mercury chemical pollutant in freshwater. By demonstrating its utility for detecting evidence of this pollutant, the basis for expanding the WaterChip’s capability to other environmental toxins and pollutan ...

Perchlorate threatens the drinking water supplies of more than 20 million people in the United States and the number keeps growing. The cost of treating perchlorate and other emergent contaminants in drinking water using ion exchange resins, nanofiltration, and granular activated carbon (GAC) is a growing financial burden to many municipal and regional water boards. PLANTECO Environmental Cons ...

The detection and classification of toxic industrial chemicals (TICS) is an important capability to the nation’s defense forces, first responder units, and law enforcement, not to mention the more traditional needs in industrial monitoring and control, construction, and even household applications. First responders, in all levels of government, need to be warned of the presence and type of TICS ...

This project addresses the problem of the wireless transfer of power between a source and nearby mobile platform such as a robotic vehicle. The primary objective of this research will be to design and evaluate, by analysis and computer modeling, an inductively-coupled system consisting of an optimally-designed configuration of transmitting coils to maximize the coupling efficiency though a target ...
