Research abstract
The project focuses on the development of an extremely power dense bipolar nickel-metal hydride energy storage system for the Rotary Electromagnetic Launcher (REML). The program centers on optimizing the design of EEI's bipolar battery using very thin electrode materials. The performance goals for the battery are to achieve power densities over 8 kW/L. This would represent a complete power system which would occupy about 10-20% of the target volume of 70 cubic feet, and would represent a 3-4x improvement over current state-of-the-art nickel metal hydride technology.
