Bulat Khalitov, a student at Samara University named after Korolev, has developed an innovative thin heating film to protect gadgets and electric vehicle batteries from low temperatures.
According to Khalitov, batteries are sensitive to cold and lose their charge much faster, so an ultra-thin flat heating film was created that can maintain the optimum temperature with minimal energy consumption. The film will operate from the electricity of the battery itself, which it warms, making it particularly effective.
The development has several key advantages. The film is only 0.2 millimeters thick, it is flexible and has low energy consumption due to its high electrical resistivity. The maximum heating temperature reaches 150ºC, and the service life of the film is about 50 thousand hours.
Khalitov considers the electric vehicle market to be the main market for heating film. The film can be installed on electric car batteries, which will expand their use in winter and in the northern regions of Russia.
A prototype has now been created and the first tests have been carried out. The immediate plans include patenting the development and launching a small enterprise for its mass production.
