    【Universal Battery】

    With it, tens of thousands of electric cars cheaper

    Cheap, safe, pollution-free, unlimited recycling, if we can achieve these goals, the power can be described as the family car into the ordinary people just around the corner. But the world aiming at such a “universal battery” it? At yesterday’s presentation to highlight the China University of Technology School of Engineering Sciences zinc-air battery Laboratory Dr. Xu Xianzhi told reporters that it could.

    “This kind of battery used in electric cars, this car certainly cheaper price of tens of thousands.” Dr Tsui is currently operating with lithium powered buses, for example, this car uses lithium system, more than 10,000 while only a small battery charge, if any charge faster, some slower charge will affect the life and the results, so still need to add an intelligent control system. “So the bus station of pure power, low price certainly can not, because the costs are higher.”

    A bus, price may be a million, but the public, a price of more than 100,000 private cars, 20 million, may have to hesitate. Pure electric cars currently on the market, the biggest problem is the battery. “Some of the quality of pass, but life is short, a few years we should change the batteries; some more stable performance, but charge a lot of trouble; there’s to be both, such as some high-end brand concept car, the price is too expensive people can not stand. “and Dr. Xu lithium battery price is only 1 / 5 or 1 / 10, a car can be several million less.

    According to reports, Dr. Xu’s team on the basis of this new battery specially developed “urban transportation battery”, mixed with lithium can also be used individually zinc-air battery. “We have proved that using zinc-air battery-powered a 1 ton heavy truck, you can only charge 400 km continuous run time. Commuted down, so the use of a car costs, including fees charged, the battery depreciation, maintenance costs and so on, with the current cars burn less gasoline, can afford private cars, people can afford, can afford. ”

    Even more interesting is that this zinc-air battery for the electric vehicle and is equipped with charging stations, battery recycling system is also pure green pollution-free. “Our design is for old batteries off, pulled recycling plant, the battery inside the electrolytic cell where zinc oxide in zinc recovery as normal the next day as the new battery will continue to use the same! This cycle can theoretically many times to be kept for more than 10 years, will be able to reuse water activation. and this recycling plant is also used in wind power, solar energy these truly green. ”

    Zinc-air battery developed at the international results are rare. It is learned that after Hong Kong’s CITIC Pacific chairman Larry Yung, son of former Chinese and the project was, and to carry out inspection, the present mainland China Aviation Technology Group in Beijing has invested in a similar project, but Dr. Xu is the Beijing project consultants. Now, he is interested in out of Hefei, find suitable investor, this promising industrial projects.

    】 【Irradiating apparatus

    According to a second, a ham, not decaying 5 years

    One ham actually have time to decay 5 years, and no use of additives, how is this possible? From the University of Science and Technology of China, “Industrial Irradiation Accelerator” to achieve. Moreover, such irradiating apparatus is different from the current domestic common irradiation sources, is completely electric, VGP-BPS9 , VGP-BPS9/B  very safe, no harm to human body.

    In the supermarket, imported fresh has always belonged to “the aristocracy of food.” According to regulations, these expensive taste, before exporting to go through radiation treatment. In addition to fruits and vegetables, and herbs, soy products and other requirements are the same. Reported that after irradiation of food, medicine and medical apparatus, not only sterilization, pest control, disinfection, inhibition of seed germination, and even several times to extend the shelf. In USTC’s laboratory, the preserved an ordinary ham, it’s time after irradiation is 2005, so far, it looks still intact, a little meat there is no sign of rot!

    It is understood that technology is mainly two kinds of radiation, a cobalt source used in China currently uses more, but with safety problems of nuclear waste disposal and pollution problems is a big problem. In the United States and other developed countries, have generally abandoned cobalt source radiation, and to electron irradiation. USTC show to be industrialization of this project was part of an electronic post-irradiation, no environmental harm, as long as power outages, irradiation also natural stop.

    Today, Hefei crayfish also “stick” the irradiation of light. The project leader, Professor Yi-Lin told reporters, electron irradiation on materials processing is almost instantaneous. This piece of equipment similar to our common work station checkpoint, items shipped from the endless conveyor belt to the instrument, the out of hours already completed. “We recently received a single live on the property Hefei crayfish shrimp are irradiated to prolong the freshness of meat, so, Hefei lobster shipped to foreign countries even if no problem, eat up, VGP-BPS9/S and when a sample in Hefei ! “
