An issued NASA patent from the Technology Transfer catalog.
About this technology
Overview
Innovators at the NASA Johnson Space Center have developed a calorimeter that is able to measure the total heat generated when specific types of Lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells are driven into a thermal runaway condition. By understanding the behavior of a thermal runaway Li-ion battery, designers can improve the cell cases to contain or reduce damages experienced during thermal runaway. For this reason, this technology can benefit many different industries that depend on Li-ion batteries. This NASA Technology is available for your company to license and develop into a commercial product. NASA does not manufacture products for commercial sale.
