Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] Super here means far better than anything before. EV refers to electric cars, snowmobiles, trains, ships, icebreakers, airplanes, chargers, home electricity storage equipment, and other electric equipment. [Background technology]
[0002] Why EVs are good 1. Does not produce CO2 or carbon. 2. Gasoline prices are rising. 3. It will benefit companies moving towards decarbonization. 4. Companies are producing batteries for reasons such as the creation of a huge new market for data and batteries that will attract people, things, and money, but they have major drawbacks, which will be described later. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] The inventor lectures at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), the world's leading technological research institution, and in a discussion on energy with other professors specializing in energy, he came to the conclusion that "current EVs (electric vehicles) are no good." The reason is that known batteries "have a limited number of times they can be reused and regenerated, and therefore have high depreciation costs, making them unprofitable and less costly than gasoline-powered vehicles, and they do not achieve zero carbon emissions." In recent years, lithium-ion batteries have been developed and many companies are using them to produce EVs. However, there is a problem because the metals used in these batteries can only be mined in certain countries. Furthermore, this problem cannot be solved by using solid-state batteries.
[0004] The present invention is a groundbreaking invention that has been invented to solve all of the above problems. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] The inventor has changed his way of thinking by using a capacitor instead of a battery to supply electricity. However, while a capacitor has many advantages over a battery, as described below, it also has some disadvantages. This invention aims to eliminate these disadvantages. Effect of the Invention
[0006] As shown in
[0009] below, other benefits include not using low-cost rare metals, being able to charge quickly, and extending driving distances, which will enable the development of entirely new EVs, airplanes, ships, and home appliances. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0008] Compare a battery (lithium ion battery) with a capacitor. [Table 1]
[0009] As shown in Table 1, (1) First, regarding the electrical circuit, a battery does not fully charge or discharge electricity, but a capacitor charges and discharges completely, so it has very good energy efficiency. (2) Next, the operating temperature range for batteries is -20°C to +50°C, while for capacitors it is -1000°C to +85°C. Therefore, batteries cannot be used in extremely cold places or inside refrigerated vehicles. However, capacitors can be used in extremely cold places, snowmobiles, and refrigerated vehicles. Furthermore, batteries can only be used at +50°C, so they cannot be used in extremely hot places or places that require heating. However, capacitors can be used in extremely hot places and places that require heating. (3) The number of times that a battery can be charged and discharged is 500 to 1,000 times, whereas a capacitor has no limit. In other words, a battery becomes unusable after 500 to 1,000 times, which is a cost. On the other hand, the fact that a capacitor has no limit means that The result is TIFF2024036276000003.tif1746. This is the main focus of the present invention. (4) While a battery takes several hours to charge, a capacitor can be charged quickly in just a few seconds. (5) In terms of current characteristics, the capacitor can instantly discharge a large current, which increases the driving efficiency of the motor and therefore allows the car to move with less energy. (6) Regarding deterioration and lifespan, batteries deteriorate but capacitors do not, so batteries become unusable quickly. Capacitors can be used forever. (7) In terms of safety, batteries have the risk of leakage, fire, and explosion, but capacitors are safe and not dangerous. (8) As an example of the danger, the fire accident on a Boeing 787 is well known. The cause of this was the impact of the 787 during takeoff and landing. The batteries (lithium ion batteries) have a fatal defect of leaking and catching fire when impacted, so they cannot be used in aircraft. (The inventor of this application has invented a patent (patent number 6362300) that solves this problem.) In contrast, capacitors do not ignite even when subjected to impact, so they can be used without restrictions in aircraft, vehicles, and many other things. (9) Regarding rare metals, batteries (lithium ion batteries) require rare metals. Capacitors do not require rare metals, so there are no problems such as rising prices of rare metals or being unable to produce storage batteries due to lack of availability, and they are environmentally friendly. (10) Capacitors have a simple structure and are easy to manufacture, so manufacturing productivity is high. (11) The specific gravity of a battery is about 2 to 2.5, while that of a capacitor is about 1 to 1.5. For moving bodies such as airplanes and vehicles, it is important to reduce their weight. The low specific gravity of a capacitor is therefore extremely useful, as it also has the effect of reducing energy consumption. (12) In terms of price, batteries (lithium ion batteries) are expensive, while capacitors are cheap.
[0010] As mentioned above, capacitors are almost always superior to batteries. If the capacitor is an electric double layer capacitor (EDLC), the storage capacity will be even larger.
[0011] However, the only drawback of a capacitor is its large volume. When a capacitor is used as a battery, how to deal with this large volume is an important point of the present invention. Fig. 1 shows an example of a basic unit of the present invention. Fig. 1A shows a unit made up of 53 capacitor cells 1 each having a cylindrical size (approximately 6 cmφ) with a voltage of 2.8 V and a capacity of 3.5 Wh, and Fig. 1B shows a unit made up of 162 capacitor cells 1 each having a cylindrical size (approximately 4 cmφ) with a voltage of 2.5 V and a capacity of 2.5 Wh. The capacitor 1 is a capacitor in which electrodes such as aluminum foil are wound with an insulator such as paper or plastic, and a number of these are connected in series and / or parallel.
[0012] [First embodiment of the present invention] FIG. 2 shows the first embodiment of the present invention, in which (A) is a side view and (B) is a cross-sectional view. In order to overcome the problem of the large volume, this difficult problem is solved by forming the structure and body of the cart, etc., from a capacitor. As shown in Figure 2, this is first applied to a refrigerated vehicle. The reason for this is that the capacitor can operate at low temperatures using a battery, as mentioned above. As shown in Fig. 2, the capacitor 1 of the refrigerated vehicle is made in a box shape, and the motor 5 and the rear door are made to open like a double door. In this first embodiment, the capacitor 1 is a structure placed on the driver's cabin 4 and the driving devices such as the tires 6. 4 is the driver's window glass.
[0013] [Second embodiment of the present invention] FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. The first embodiment in FIG. 2 uses a normal frame 2, i.e., a ladder-type, backbone-type, X-type or other type of cart, whereas in the second embodiment in FIG. 3, the frame 21 of the present invention is a structure in which a group of electric storage capacitors, etc., are joined into a plate shape, and multiple of these plates are stacked to increase the rigidity of the frame 21. Other shapes than the plate shape, such as ladder, spine, X-shape, etc., are also included in the present invention. The vehicle body 7 is placed on this frame 21 of the present invention. (A) is a side cross-sectional view, and (B) is a transverse cross-sectional view. The vehicle body 7 may be a normal body made of iron or aluminum, but the vehicle body 7 may also be made of a capacitor sheet formed by laminating aluminum so that the capacitor is not wound but is a flat capacitor.

This is an example of the best-selling pickup truck in the United States, manufactured using the present invention. (A) is a side cross-sectional view, and (B) is a view from the rear.

As a result of this configuration, the solar panels 81, 82, and 83 can be spread out horizontally using the hinges 10, as shown in Figures 6(B) and 6(C), to absorb a large amount of solar energy when the vehicle is parked and store it in the capacitor body 1.
[0017] The present invention also includes cases other than the capacitor body 1, such as an ordinary car.
