FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT MATERIALS IS THE ATLAS CASE MADE OF?
1. Grade 1045 Hot Rolled Carbon Steel plate
2. Grade 2 CP Titanium Alloy plate
3. Recycled PTFE Scrap formed into sheet layers
4. Recycled Rubber scrap and shredded tire scrap pieces
5. Raspberry Pi kit including temperature sensors, moisture sensors, and motor control board attachment for the Pi and the motors the board connects to
6. Two 63 Lbs steel cylinders containing 7 liters of argon gas mixed with pulverized lime powder
7. One HF filter
HOW DOES THE ATLAS CASE HELP PREVENT HAZARDS?
1. The Grade 2 Titanium alloy will have a layer of Aluminum Oxide that will be thermal sprayed onto the surface of the alloy helping to create a heat resistant barrier that can withstand temperatures of up to 2,000 degrees Celsius.
2. In addition to Thermal protection the layer of PTFE plastic that will line the outside of the Titanium alloy layer of the case as well as the inside of the carbon steel layer. This will create an acid protection layer from HF (Hydrogen fluoride) gas or  phosphoryl fluoride (POF3) gas that has proven to dissolve most any other substance including metals and ceramics. A filter will be attached to the inside of the lid to further neutralize the gas.
3. In addition to protecting the capacity of the battery the fan filtration system will also prevent temperatures from rising to dangerous levels inside the case that could trigger a runaway reaction.    Â
4. The same PTFE layer that prevents HF (Hydrogen fluoride) gas or  phosphoryl fluoride (POF3) gas from escaping will also act as a moisture barrier that will prevent water from interacting with the battery and cause a potential runaway reaction.
WHERE ARE THE BATTERIES BEING TRANSPORTED TO?
Right now our company is specializing in transporting EV batteries including the pack away from the manufacturer/car dealership/mechanic and to second life facilities that are converting the EV batteries and their packs into household electrical systems or for storage from renewable power generated through solar or wind power. Our company would specialize in ensuring a safer and more cost effective way of transporting their EV batteries.
WHAT IS NEEDED TO GET THEÂ ATLAS CASE OUT OF THE PROTOTYPE STAGE?
In order to exit the prototyping stage and enter full scale production we would need to ensure that the design was thoroughly tested and ensured to be safe. We would also need to purchase a facility to finish the final assembly of and to store the cases while they were waiting to be used. We would need to secure contracts with metal suppliers and other material suppliers so that we could begin ordering in large quantities in order to become more cost effective. In addition to securing contracts with material suppliers we would also need to start reaching out to companies like Nissan and Chevrolet that are manufacturers of EV’s and try to negotiate a similar deal structure to that of FedEx. Most importantly we would need a financial investment to purchase a facility, to purchase materials, and to assemble the final product.
