Poc Alpride E2 Electronic Airbag System
Website: pocsports.com
The new Alpride E2 Supercapacitor System stores the energy released when the airbag is deployed. When the supercapacitor system is triggered, it drives a fan to inflate the airbag. Storage and release of energy happens based on an electromechanical process rather than a chemical reaction as occurs in rechargeable batteries. The new unit is 40% smaller and 25% lighter than the existing system.
