A company that wants to offer modular, stored heat absorption.
A big design problem with HESS (Hybrid Energy Storage System) is matching the nominal and max voltages.
Energy storage in the body of electric vehicles
Less Pollution, More Solutions. Just say what to coal? No. No coal. No coal. No coal. If it’s solar, make it bolder. If it’s black, it needs a tax.

An excellent application of kinetic energy recovery systems is in medium-duty transportation frequently operated during stop and go traffic in an urban setting. There is mounting evidence of the benefit of KERS in public livery.

Like the Hybrid Booster Drive, Connaught's retrofit hybrid system uses ultra capacitors exclusively. The small diesel delivery vans are more efficient because of addition of a system for storing and re-using electric power produced by regenerative braking.
Recovered energy can be directed to the third rail or catenary to be used by nearby trains. Subway cars have been equipped with such systems for years.
The American Institute of Physics is launching a new peer-reviewed journal in Fall 2008.

General Motors is “actively exploring” the concept. (Translation: Trying to get some PR mileage from another concept and offset the negative publicity from crushing the EV-1.)
