Abstract: A battery arrangement having a housing lower part and a housing cover arranged on the housing lower part, and at least one battery module which is arranged in the battery arrangement and which has at least one battery cell. The at least one battery module has a first side defining an upper side and is arranged in the battery arrangement in such a way that the upper side of the battery module faces toward the housing cover and is at a distance from the housing cover in at least one region of the upper side. Furthermore, between the upper side of the battery module and the housing cover, a heat-conducting compound that completely fills a space between the at least one region of the upper side and the housing cover is arranged.

Abstract: A housing for at least one battery cell of an electrical energy accumulator of an at least partially electrically operated motor vehicle, having an interior of the battery housing, which is designed for arranging the at least one battery cell, and having at least one protective coating formed on at least one housing wall of the battery housing and facing toward the interior, wherein the protective coating is ceramic or glass-like or metallic and is designed to generate a degassing flow in the event of degassing of the battery cell from the interior of the battery housing. The disclosure furthermore relates to a motor vehicle.

Abstract: A battery housing for a battery, in particular for a motor vehicle. The battery housing includes a housing base, a housing cover arranged opposite from the housing base, and multiple side walls, wherein a chamber is enclosed between the side walls, the housing base and the housing cover. At least one side wall of the multiple side walls comprises two side wall elements, which are arranged opposite each other and which form a duct between them.

Abstract: A detector is provided to determine the presence and absence of laminar airflow on the face of an airfoil or sail or surface and to transmit and signal the airflow condition to a user who is at a distance from the sail or surface to thereby allow the user to adjust the condition or position of the sail or airfoil in order to establish laminar airflow across the sail or airfoil or surface.
