Cold battery- Concept Energy storage in a cooled material
High-Level Project Summary
-I propose the concept of a cold battery to resolve the challenge of energy storage.-My idea is to cool a material with the generated energy. To transform the thermal energy into electrical energy, I thought of the principle of the generator starling studied for NASA. Instead of radioisotopes the generator will work because of the temperature difference with the atmosphere Venusian-It can stand the atmosphere of Venus. My first idea was use the pressurization of the lander to turn into a battery and in turn cool the instruments, also could be packaged and used as a backup or to the rover

Detailed Project Description
It's an energy storage system, it works by the temperature difference between the internal fluid of the battery and the external environment. To charge the battery the fluid is cooled by an external system, using the generated energy. Thermal energy is transformed by the operating principle of a starling generator.
What benefits does it have?
- The energy leakage is directly related to the thermal insulation of the battery.
- It uses the same cooling system used in the lander.
- It is more resistant than a conventional battery, chemical or any other type.
does not lose mass.
- Low weight and compact.
I pretent change the conventional paradigm of a battery. My other option was a mechanical storage. My idea is conceptual, but it can be improved with modern techniques and technology. I think the cold battery should be studied
