Profile
AFS Trinity Power Corp was created by a 2001 merger of American Flywheel Systems (AFS) and Trinity Flywheel Power (Trinity) which were incorporated in 1991 and 1993, respectively. Headquartered in Bellevue, Washington with an engineering center in Livermore, California, the company develops Fast Energy Storage for vehicular, spacecraft and stationary power systems based on batteries, ultracapacitors, and flywheels. The company has conducted programs with private and government organizations including DARPA, NASA, the U.S. Navy, U.S. Army, U.S. DOT, California Energy Commission, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Lockheed, Honeywell, and Ricardo.

Micro Hybrids
The term micro hybrid is not familiar to the general public but a high proportion of next year's cars will be micro hybrids.9 Jul 2010
Towards more effective energy harvesting
Energy harvesting calls for collecting light energy from solar or photovoltaic cells, piezoelectric from pressure, kinetic energy from movement, or inductive energy from rotation or motion. This is what generates the low levels of current that make wireless sensors operational, and capturing and storing sufficient power for these applications is a challenge.24 Mar 2010
The truly integrated circuit is printed and flexible
For 40 years, so called integrated circuits have integrated little more than transistors, diodes and sensors onto one piece of material but now there are much more integrated circuits arriving where most electrical and electronic components are co-deposited on flexible substrates. Those flexible substrates are key, because this new electronics will be affordable and desirable on everything from apparel to human skin and electrical and consumer packaged goods, where surfaces are only rarely flat.11 Mar 2010
Lithium vehicle traction batteries and harvesting
The conference of about 40 people "Lithium Battery Technology and System Development" in London 9 March 2010 was concerned with "breaking barriers for electric vehicles".2 Mar 2010
Supercapacitor with increased energy storage
One of the main issues in deploying solar, wind and electric-car technologies involves efficiently storing energy. With that in mind, scientists at international science and technology enterprise Battelle are in the early stages of developing a technology that addresses storage needs affordably. The supercapacitor technology developed on Battelle's Columbus campus is projected to capture and store large amounts of electricity for extended time periods and also release the energy quickly.19 Feb 2010
Two wheel electric vehicles - a bright future
With electric cars increasingly employing energy harvesting in shock absorbers, regenerative braking, thermoelectrics on hybrid engine and exhaust and photovoltaics on the roof, attention is turning to two wheel electric vehicles, starting with regenerative braking in electric motorcycles.
