The conceptual design of an automotive propulsion, thermal energy storage system has been developed that utilizes the sensible and latent heat of fusion of a molten fluoride salt. Electromagnetically pumped potassium serves in the vapor-liquid heat transport system, and high-performance nonmetallic insulation is utilized to minimize energy loss. Engineering analyses are presented to substantiate adequate thermal and material performance to provide at least 161-km range for a 500-kg system, with power bursts in excess of 200-kW available. The thermal energy storage system is compared with advanced electrochemical storage devices. Preliminary production costs and life-cycle costs are presented, and safety and other public acceptance issues are reviewed. (Jensen)
