CHEMICAL WIRING IN COMPOSITES FOR MULTIFUNCTIONAL ENERGY STORAGE, DATA TRANSMISSION, AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTATION
Abstract
Weight reduction and the increase of overall system energy density are critical factors in the design of the next generation of air vehicles. From the system perspective, it is highly desirable to seek for a multipurpose alternative replacing conventional metal wiring which has been utilized in either data transmission or power transfer for the operation of the numerous electrical components of aircraft. However, metal wiring based systems are not energy efficient due to heat losses aside from being large, heavy, and single-purpose of either data transmission or power transfer. In view of these critical issues, the PI proposes a new approach of developing distributed flow battery as a multifunctional vascular network of electrolyte.
