Nuclear Fusion

To limit the impacts of Climate Change there is a need to accelerate our transition from a fossil-fuel based society to an electric one. However, serious questions still remain about how we generate this electricity in a green manner. Power from nuclear fusion offers an ideal solution to this problem, and there is now increasing interest around the globe in making it a reality.   

One of the key technological challenges for fusion is to handle the large heat exhaust from such machines. Imagine magnifying the power from the Sun's rays 10,000 times. That is the typical heat load that some components within a commercial fusion reactor will have to withstand for years at a time! Qdot is working hard to solve this problem and help usher in the age of fusion power.

Electric Vehicles

Three of the biggest obstacles standing in the way of the mass uptake of electric vehicles are range anxiety, charge speed and cost.

Using IP developed for fusion and the expertise of the team, Qdot is now developing a battery thermal management system for ground and air electrical vehicle batteries that will answer all three issues.

Qdot's technology makes possible extremely fast charging – adding 200 miles of range in just 10 minutes for ground vehicles. This makes mid-journey charging stops quick and convenient, increasing the effective range of a vehicle using a smaller battery pack. Since the batteries make up the lion's share of the cost of an electric vehicle, this also brings down the cost to OEMs and consumers.
