Nanoflowcell // Quant electric car - science the shit out of this please :)

(1/3) > >>

frozenfrogz:
Since this seems to pop up once again here in Germany, I would be interested in the science behind flowcells, the actual viability and some scientific data on the claims by Quant and their Nanoflowcell.
As far as I see it, they are claiming to get about 900 HP to the wheels or 662 kW. That is 165.000 Watts per motor and given their advertised low voltage system running at 48 Volts: What kind of conductor do you use to push 3000something continuous Amps through without overheating and without too much loss?
Am I missing something?
I tried to find some actually valid information about their proclaimed product, but all I could find was marketing wank and uncritical 'review' articles through the years. It does not seem like they moved anywhere with their product since 2015, but now the hype machinery is running again.

Cyberdragon:
Is that 48V DC or some sort of 48V three-phase? (still a lot of juice)

Raj:
Must be peak rating... Or just marketing Wing Wang

That’s where it gets very blurry around the edges. No real datasheet on anything.

I found an article from 2014 that seems to be one of the only actually critical ones around.

And then there is also this: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Nanoflowcell

Domagoj T:
That's on the order of 5000 mm2 cable (8 cm diameter) for 5 m of cable.
In this case, is low voltage a safety benefit? I mean, whatever that wire touches will melt, so you don't get electrocuted, just covered in molten metal.
