EPISODIC TRANSDERMAL DELIVERY FROM MELTABLE VEHICLES

Not Available The ISE Research Hybrid-Electric Aircraft Loader (HEAL) project is aimed at developing an improved technology for powering large aircraft loaders. The HEAL integrated hybrid-electric power system will combine a central electrical power system with a small onboard generator, powered by a combustion engine, which augments and recharges a main battery pack. High power electric motors energized by the main battery pack will supply peak power for vehicle start-up and heavy lifting, while the onboard generator can recharge the batteries in between peak periods. The hybrid-electric power system is projected to be more reliable, versatile, economical, and environmentally friendly than the hydraulic systems currently used for locomotion and cargo lifting in aircraft loaders. Phase I objectives are to validate the feasibility of replacing existing hydraulic systems with hybrid-electric systems and to generate hybrid-electric power system designs and specifications. During Phase II, a prototype hybrid-electric power system will be built and retrofitted into an existing 25K cargo loader. The repowered 25K loader will then be tested in actual operation to validate the new technology. The proposed HEAL project will focus on loaders in the 25K class, but can eventually be applied to all classes of cargo loaders, including 60K cargo loaders.
