A thermophotovoltaic generator for use in a lightweight electric car: Year 1 progress report
In the nine months since the start of this project significant progress toward the completion of the tasks scheduled in the first year has been made and in some cases exceeded. A number of unforeseen problems have been isolated and solved with redesign of components and specification of different materials. This project has been running concurrently with a Phase 1 DOE Green Car SBIR grant to JX Crystals in which WWU is the sub-contractor to do burner design, construction and testing. As a result of this concurrent project, the design of the single burner for the TPV8 which is nearing completion at this time, incorporates the improvements of the Phase 1 Green Car burner. The status of the tasks scheduled for the first nine months of the contract and the current status are shown.
