nickel-iron battery

"Hopefully we can give the nickel-iron battery a new life," he said.

Finally, nickel-iron batteries last the longest with a lifespan of up to 40 years.

Another line of products is the manufacture of nickel-iron batteries.

The power was regulated and backed up by the large bank of nickel-iron batteries in the house's tunnels.

It is also used in the nickel-iron battery.

A nickel-iron battery, although constructed the same way, suffers no such buildup, giving it extraordinarily longer life.

The building was a manufacturing facility for a kind of nickel-iron battery developed by Thomas Edison in 1901.

The locomotives provided several decades of service using Nickel-iron battery (Edison) technology.

Stanford University scientists report they've breathed new life into the nickel-iron battery by dramatically improving the performance of the century-old technology.

Nickel-iron batteries have long been used in European mining operations because of their ability to withstand vibration, high temperatures and other physical stress.

The Chrysler Corporation is working on a minivan with a nickel-iron battery that represents the next advance.

One of the earliest rechargeable batteries - the nickel-iron battery - was favored by Edison for use in electric cars.

The tunnels also contain hundreds of nickel-iron battery cells, used to regulate power and provide backup power.

Half were produced using nickel-iron batteries and half were equipped with the nickel-cadmium packs.

Nickel-iron batteries also give off hydrogen, which some engineers regard as hazardous for vehicles parked in garages where a spark might cause an explosion.

Nickel-iron batteries also use potassium hydroxide electrolyte.

A high-performance, low-cost nickel-iron battery could some day be used to help power electric vehicles, much as Edison originally intended, Dai said.

The lead-acid combination is the same type that starts engines in autos, while nickel-iron batteries provided electricity for railroad cars early in the century.

Engineers at Eagle-Picher say they have developed a venting system that prevents a dangerous buildup of the hydrogen given off by nickel-iron batteries.

"Because we will use 90% less metal, we will produce an extremely cost-effective nickel-iron battery for use in vehicles.

Nickel-iron batteries do not have the lead or cadmium of the lead-acid and nickel-cadmium batteries, which require treatment as hazardous materials.

In the USA, railcars of the Edison-Beach type, with nickel-iron batteries were used from 1911.

However, Thomas Edison picked up Jugner's nickel-iron battery design, patented it himself and sold it in 1903.

In a basic solution iron(II) hydroxide is the electrochemically active material of the negative electrode of the nickel-iron battery.

Due to its low specific energy, poor charge retention, and high cost of manufacture, other types of rechargeable batteries have displaced the nickel-iron battery in most applications.
