42volt electrical systems, coming soon!
Yup its on its way..
This isnt anything new, but its a topic that hasnt been discussed. For those that were clueless about this, here's whats up. Withing a couple of years we will start seeing these on cars.. The transition will be gradual, but eventually the entire electrical system will be built to that voltage. Higher voltage = less required amperage. Thus smaller awg wires and such.. Many cable/air/fluid components will be switched to small electrical motors (brakes..) And we'll be able to have a motherload of electronics. 12v is really being pushed to its limits.. http://www.sae.org/42volt/ |
That's strang timing. I just read an extensive article on this and it was really interesting.

sorry to bore you then... j/k ;) :D |
wouldn't the batteries need to get bigger and heavier ? i've seen on discovery a test car and the damn batteries were occuping the whole trunk.

Interesting.

voltage simply carries the amperage.
higher voltage = lower required amperage. no big batteries or anything like that.. |
the convetional batteries are made out of cells, each one carring about 2 V. every battery has about six cells so they will come up with the 12 v. to have a 42v battery you will need 21 cells, so the battery will grow larger. Anyway the bigger the cell bigger the amperage, but i still think the batteries will grow up in size and weight.

A conversion would kinda suck though, for those of us with older cars. All electrical systems would need to be changed to use newer stuff.
