I am fascinated by the virtual things you can create with a computer since my childhood: Images, websites, programs – and now lightfields or “holograms”. If I am not at work, chances are high that you can find me in front of my PC. Of course, this hologram only displays a simplified illustration of a redox flow battery, but you get an impression how that looks like. This unit is called the “redox flow cell”. Some tubing and two pumps transport these liquids into the device at the foreground, which is the unit where the energy conversion happens. In the hologram, you see those two liquids in the glasses in the background. However, while conventional fuel cells consume gases like hydrogen and oxygen to provide electrical energy, a redox flow battery uses two special liquids which can store and provide electrical energy without being consumed. Never heard of it? No worries, I rendered a Blender hologram of the lab-scale battery device that I use during my research to give you an impression on how that type of battery looks like.Ī redox flow battery is similar to a fuel cell in its working principal. I mainly work on a rechargeable battery type that is called the redox flow battery. In my professional life, I am a scientist who is active in the field of energy storage research for a couple of years now. Hi, I am Christian from Germany and the main developer behind the Looking Glass Blender add-on “Alice/LG”.
