Hey SciSeekers, welome to AllSciInfo your ultimate partner to reveal mysteries of science and space exploration. This blog is about an advanced level Mars battery today!! This unique power system which is developed by Chinese scientists and generates electricity using the Martian atmosphere. Mars Is Getting An Epic Battery Upgrade with no role for human thumbs on Mars, this is the the future of space exploration. Let’s dive in!
Chinese scientists have developed a latest battery for Mars journey which would be helpful for survival on Mars. This revolutionary Mars battery is able to generate and store power from the harsh environment of Mars.
About Mars :-
Mars is fourth planet in our solar system . It is also known as "Red Planet".The name red planet is given to Mars because of its reddish appearance.
Reason of Mars reddish appearance :
The reason behind the Mars's reddish appearance is iron oxide(FeO) on its surface.
Distance between sun and Mars:
The distance between sun and Mars is almost 227. 9 million kilometers.
Distance between earth and Mars :
The average distance between earth and Mars depends upon the position of Mars. The average distance between Mars and earth is about 225 million km or 140 million miles. But it can also be close to earth at the distance of 54.6 million kilometers or 33.9 million miles from earth.
Earth like planet :
Mars is an earth like planet due to its day and night lengths and other some earth like properties. Scientists believes that it would be habitable for humans to create human colonies. But the Mars has very harsh environment for Human Survival. To deal with the power or electricity problems A Chinese researcher team have developed a revolutionary Mars battery that generates power from the atmosphere of Mars. It is most reliable and sustainable energy source that would generate energy and power through the harsh extreme environment of Mars.
How it works?
As you know that the Mars atmosphere mainly consists of Co2. It would cause main challenges for humans. Even if it is a challenging gas for humans but it can also be helpful for humans.
This modern battery is designed to get the Co2 directly from the atmosphere of Mars and utilize it to generate power or energy that can be used by humans without needing any fuel as it uses Mars environment as a fuel.
Mechanism of battery:
The battery uses gases directly through atmosphere mainly Co2 and covers it into energy through a chemical process. This way of gaining energy is safe and renewable.
Built to survive Mars harsh environment:
Mars has the lower temperature. Other energy would struggled to work properly but it can survive the extreme cold temperature of Mars. It is strong enough to deal with heavy dust storms on Mars surface.
Once the battery is fully charged it can be used for 13375 hours which means it can be used several months.
Charging through solar and nuclear power system :
It also has the feature of charging through solar energy and nuclear power. As the journey can be long or unpredicted and long so there would be need of most reliable energy source. It can generate power from solar energy during the day time.
Why this invention is very useful?
This invention is a step forward to space exploration. It would reduce the costs for fuels transportation from earth to Mars. The missions on Mars would long lasting.
