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

 One of the biggest obstacles standing in the way of the mass uptake of electric vehicles is range anxiety - stranded in the middle of nowhere without a charging point in sight. Whilst battery technology will undoubtedly improve, a simpler means to help alleviate this problem is to reduce the overall vehicle weight. 

There a numerous thermal engineering challenges in an electric vehicle. Qdot is currently focusing on the development of compact, high performance, and lightweight power electronic cooling systems to help alleviate the range anxiety issue.
