Improving the Ventilation of Motorcycle Helmets
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: 151NH1Use of motorcycles helmets significantly reduces the risk of fatality or serious brain injury to riders in the event of a crash, but riders often do not wear helmets in warm weather because of thermal discomfort. We propose to develop an innovative ventilation and cooling system that will maintain a cool, dry environment inside the helmet while also meeting applicable safety standards. The key inn ...

Hydrogen Contamination Detection
SBC: SKYRE, INC Topic: 14bThe new purity requirements SAE J7219, ISO 14687-2 and ISO 14687 (Table I and Figure 1 below) place a three orders of magnitude increase on the accuracy of the instrumentation that is necessary to detect these extremely low levels of several critical contaminants. The design and verification of the conceptual approach of a cost-effective and reliable instrument that can sample the hydrogen at the ...

Ultra-High Temperature Thermal Barrier Coatings
SBC: HIFUNDA LLC Topic: 19dState of the art yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) based thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are typically limited to maximum use temperatures of 1200-1300C. A thermal barrier coating (TBC) with a 1500C temperature capability would be a major gas turbine materials breakthrough. New coatings with a 200C temperature advantage can be used by the gas turbine industry to significantly increase turbine effi ...

Non-Platinum Group Metal OER/ORR Catalysts for Alkaline Membrane Fuel Cells and Electrolyzers
SBC: Proton Energy Systems, Inc. Topic: 13cStatement of the problem or situation that is being addressed: A major challenge in successful development of unitized regenerative fuel cells (URFCs) is the bifunctional air/oxygen electrode. In proton exchange membrane-based systems, the number of stable elements at electrolysis potentials is extremely limited, restricting the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) / oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) cat ...

Novel Surface-Functionalized Powders for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
SBC: Sonata LLC Topic: 15bStatement of the Problem or Situation that is Being Addressed - Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) offer exceptional promise for electrical power generation with reduced carbon footprint, but SOFC reliability must be improved for the technology to be widely commercialized. Strontium based ceramic cathodes e.g. lanthanum strontium iron cobalt oxide (LSFC) enable good performance, but cathode degradatio ...

Power Dense Converter Electronics for Grid Tie Energy Storage Containers
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: 10aIncreased electricity demand amid infrastructure development restrictions continues to foster innovation for distributed generation. Whereas pumped hydro installations are fixed locations, battery, thermal, compressed air, and flywheel storage can be made mobile and may become competitive if they are cost- effective, reliable, and safe, and have regulatory approvals and industry acceptance. Adva ...

Onboard implementation of an ultra-compact hydrogen-generator for efficiency and emissions benefits in IC engines
SBC: PRECISION COMBUSTION, INC. Topic: 17cA central tenet of U.S. energy policy is the achievement of high gasoline mileage which would substantially advance the U.S. and DOE missions of improved energy efficiency, increased energy independence, and mitigation of climate change. One promising path forward for increasing mileage is to use reformed fuel to improve engine combustion stability for greater efficiency and lower emissions, inclu ...

MUTI-MODE CAVITY ACCELERATOR STRUCTURE
SBC: omega-p r&d, Inc. Topic: 26aFor future progress in high energy physics, a multi-TeV linear accelerator is desired to explore the energy frontier. But RF breakdown is a major hurdle preventing accelerator structures from reaching high gradients. The successful completion of the project proposed here will allow development of a novel high gradient accelerator structure with low RF breakdown rate and high RF-to-beam efficiency. ...

Advanced Compression System for Radionuclide Monitoring
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: 26bRadioxenon monitoring systems are an important tool for detecting nuclear weapon tests around the world. These systems must be reliable and have low contamination potential because nuclear detonations can occur without warning and the opportunity to detect these events is relatively brief. Additionally, mobile systems must be compact, lightweight, and efficient to support onsite inspection and nea ...
