System JIMMY: structural energy storage
Public project overview · Updated 15 November 2026 · Auf Deutsch lesen
System JIMMY is a development concept for structural energy storage using a fibre-metal laminate (FML). A load-bearing component is intended to store electrical energy as well as carry mechanical loads. The project describes an aluminium-ion, graphene-based solid-state concept integrated into vehicle body or chassis structures.
What is a structural battery?
A structural battery combines a mechanical load-bearing role with an electrical energy-storage role in the same component. System JIMMY applies this approach to a multilayer fibre-metal laminate. “Permanent storage” is terminology used by the project; it does not establish an unlimited service life.
What architecture does System JIMMY propose?
The project describes eight functional layers: an outer structural layer, electrical separation, a cathode current collector, a graphene cathode layer, a compartmentalised shear structure, a solid electrolyte matrix, an aluminium anode and an inner structural layer. Proposed goals include body-in-white integration, passive heat rejection through the structure and electrical segmentation into low-voltage zones following a crash.
What has been demonstrated, and what still requires validation?
The public website presents the architecture and technical targets stated by the rights holder. Performance figures in the project presentation come from the patent application or the rights holder. They are not independently published test reports on this website.
Prototype validation remains part of the current development phase. Charging performance, energy density, cycle life, thermal safety, compatibility with cathodic dip-coating production processes and crash behaviour require suitable prototypes and traceable test reports. This page does not assert production approval or independent certification.
What is the patent status?
According to the rights holder, a German patent application was filed at the DPMA on 16 September 2026 under reference 10 2026 004 806.0. Ibrahim Unver is identified as the inventor and rights holder. A patent application is distinct from a granted patent and does not by itself validate technical performance. Full documentation is made available through the protected data room after individual review.
Which applications are being considered?
The project identifies vehicle body structures, robot chassis, light mobility, commercial-vehicle structures and equipment enclosures as possible application areas. Suitability for each application depends on mechanical, electrical and regulatory requirements and subsequent validation.
Who operates the project website?
The project identifies SYSTEM JIMMY LTD, London, company number 16856093, as the entity handling international B2B cooperation and licensing. Company information and verifiable sources are publicly available. The UK company registration can be checked directly at Companies House; a company registration does not certify the technology.
