Salt Water Car

Technological innovation is, without doubt, the major force for change in modern Society. These innovations have shaken core of the motor world. Quant e-Sportlimousine has to come up with some new innovative cars to compete with its competitors. The unusual flow cell technology used in lieu of a conventional battery pack is, along with the salt water it uses as a power source. It seats four, has full-length gull-wing doors that grant access to both front and rear seats, and stunning super car looks. It is 5.25 metres (0.4ft) long, 2.2 metres wide (7.2ft), the 1.35 metre (4.4ft).  22-inch wheels sit just beneath impressive double gull-wing doors.With a claimed 0-62mph time of 2.9 seconds and a top speed of over 217 mph, The Quant e-Sportlimousine could become the next big thing in the automotive world if it successfully passes testing and enters into production. Yet it isn’t the e-Sportlimousine’s claimed 372 mile range or four-wheel drive capabilities that make this car stand apart from others. The technology something Quant calls ‘nanoFLOWCELL’. The car tank capacity 200 Lts and total weight approxmately 2,300 Kgs (5,070lbs) wih 920 horse power (680 kW). After making a debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, The Quant e-Sportlimousine has received approval from German road safety authority known as Technischer Uberwachungsverein (TUV for short). Price and sale date yet to be confirmed, but may cost more than £1m  ($1.7 million). The car, which uses an electrolyte flow cell power system, is now certified for use on German and European roads. Modern, fast, and innovative, the  Quant e-Sportlimousine is powered by two tanks of liquid electrolyte which pass through a specially-designed membrane, generating electric current and powering the car’s powerful motors.The Quant hitting the headlines as a car which could change the way we think about batteries forever. Flow cells or flow batteries as they are sometimes called work by passing two liquids (electrolytes) containing different chemical components either side of a specially-designed membrane. While the two liquids do not mix and stay in their own closed system, an electrical reaction takes place between the two liquids as they pass over either side of the membrane, inducing an electrical current. Essentially then, flow cells operate in a similar way to a traditional battery, but instead of the electrolyte living inside the battery, flow cells store their electrolyte outside of the battery in discrete storage tanks.The unusual gull wing doors give access to the front and rear of the car.This makes it possible for discharged electrolyte to be pumped out of the tank and replenished with fresh, fully charged electrolyte in the same time it takes to fill a car with gasoline. Spent electrolyte can then be recovered and recharged away from the vehicle, allowing for a quick refill without worrying about damage due to rapid recharging. In the case of the e-Sportlimousine, salt water is used as an electrolyte, something that’s abundant around the world. Quant says the e-Sportlimousine has a 120 kilowatt-hour storage capacity, made possible by ultra-high density flow cells and two large electrolyte tanks taking the place of traditional, heavy battery pack materials. Some back of the napkin maths suggests that the Quant e-Sportlimousine will have an energy efficiency of around 3.1 miles per kilowatt-hour.
