Electric Goddess

On Independence Day, we assembled a telescope and an optical spectrometer to measure the light emitted by different fireworks. This experiment allowed us to understand the metals used to create those vibrant colors. The reality of metals in our atmosphere fuels our determination to create new core memories for the next generation, such as batteries for drone shows. 🇺🇸

We appreciate the opportunity to share mitigation strategies for thermal runaway at Battery Forum (Volta Foundation). Thank you to everyone who attended yesterday. We hope you find the presentation helpful in your journey.

Join Erika Lauren Guerrero, Founder & CEO, and Luke Workman, Chief Scientist, of Electric Goddess for an insightful talk on “Thermal Runaway: Causes and Preventative Measures,” where we will explore the common causes of failures, including dielectric decay, component issues, and customer damage. Discover effective strategies to prevent these failures and enhance the safety and reliability of your systems. You won't want to miss this event!

Decoding battery hieroglyphics.

✨🔬 There is a variety of Nickel plating surface energies in 21700 cells. Just because a surface looks clean doesn’t mean it is. After building vacuum chambers for the past few years, we’ve realized nothing is truly clean!

🌸 Happy Mother's Day from Electric Goddess 🌸 As we celebrate the incredible women who bring light into our lives, we reflect on our own origins. The story of Electric Goddess dates back to the 1800s, an era when the wonders of electricity were first illuminating the world. Our namesake, symbolizing the mother of modern light, reminds us of the transformative power of innovation. We recognize the profound impact of motherhood. Mothers cultivate the future, shape destinies, and nurture potential with every small act of love. To all the mothers lighting up our lives—thank you for your strength, your wisdom, and your heart. Your work is the true paradigm shift that continues to change the world. 💡❤️

Our Chief Scientist at Electric Goddess, Luke Workman, was recently cited in Electrek.co for his pioneering work with potting materials in battery design. Potting is fully encapsulating components in a resin (most commonly cells). 🔗 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/gJT4KdV2 E-bike batteries, being among the first larger capacity batteries to hit consumer markets, have taught us about the intricacies of battery safety at scale. Contrary to common objections to potting, our experience has shown that the perceived challenges—like cost and weight—can be effectively managed through thoughtful design. Over the years, Luke and I have faced much pushback about the necessity for potting batteries. Yet, as the industry begins to recognize the value of a safe, rugged battery, it's a validation of our persistence and ethical commitment. Even the evolution seen at Tesla—from initially unpotted designs to now fully potted batteries in all new models, showcases how the industry can shift towards better safety standards. 🔗 Learn more about corrosion: https://lnkd.in/gyfHguwj Designing battery architecture for optimal performance and longevity with potting creates a robust path to powering our future. Bonus: Well-designed, potted batteries contribute to longer life spans, significantly reducing the waste of critical energy materials. 💡 Are you potting curious?

Navigating the battery value chain comes with inherent risks, from raw materials to end-of-life stages. Electric Goddess specializes in mitigating these risks by providing time-tested, proven knowledge for preventative insights. Battery failures, while rare, can be a manufacturer's worst nightmare—especially as we scale. With the US planning for 2800GWh of capacity by 2030 (equating to about 40 billion pounds of batteries!), even a defect rate of 1 in 1,000,000 cells can become a significant issue. ⚡️ Understanding the Stakes ⚡️ 🔋 Cell Production - Avoid equipment loss and costly recalls due to manufacturing defects. - Prevent potential injuries or structural damage from cell quality issues. ⛓️ Battery Pack Integration - Reduce the need for recalls and defective pack replacements. - Minimize capital losses in product and logistics due to design or manufacturing oversights. - Enhance safety to eliminate hazards associated with product use. 🪫 Usage and End-of-Life - Validate performance in the challenges of severe operational environments. - Address aging products that become hazardous due to changes over time. - Conduct a thorough risk assessment to avoid compromised batteries. At Electric Goddess, we understand these challenges intimately and provide strategic guidance to prevent them. We have a specialized test facility with bespoke and specialized equipment that provides both qualitative and quantitative data to make decisions. 🚀 Ready to enhance your battery program’s success and safety?
