The modern automotive industry is actively rebuilding itself to produce electric cars. Young companies offer various options for obtaining electricity to run electric motors. One of these options was the Quant 48Volt powered by saltwater was developed by the German company Nanoflow Cell. The main advantage of the development was the generation of electricity from salt-saturated seawater.
The Quant 48Volt powered by saltwater uses two salt-water tanks to generate electricity. An opposite charge is generated in each of the reservoirs when filled. The capacities are separated by a membrane that “selects” electrons from the ions and, as a result, generates electricity.
Nanoflow Cell engineers promise that one “refueling” of the Quant 48Volt tanks is enough for a car to travel 1000 km. The size of the seawater tank is three times the size of the standard fuel tank of an internal combustion engine vehicle. The Quant 48Volt has a 560 kW (760 hp) electric motor that can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h in just 2.4 seconds.
The cost of the special bio-ionic liquid used for the Quant 48Volt is 10 cents per liter. This liquid is completely environmentally friendly and is used as a catalyst for the reaction required to generate electricity in a salt-water tank.
