Agricultural Sensors Powered by the Soil
Every day, the use of sensors in agriculture b e c o m e s m o r e widespread . Sensors are used to measure climate conditions and soil parameters (such as humidity and pH), t o predict crop yields and to identify potential dangers . Chemical batteries are the most common solution for the storage of energy in smart agriculture systems. They exhibit -
Novel Platform Metallization Technology that Enables Metal Electrode Production
Metallization is an integral part of a modern electronic device. Every electronic device has metal electrodes in it. Foldable devices, OLED, sensors, solar cells, touchscreens, wearables and energy storage need new materials and technologies for making flexible metal electrodes. This new metallization technology is suitable for functional metallic -
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power System for Electric Vehicles
Despite the advantages of Hydrogen fuel cells for future mobility (higher driving range compared to Lithium batteries, fast refueling downtime and zero emissions), the number of fuel cell vehicles on public road remains insignificant due to 2 major stumbling blocks: system complexity and high cost. The technology provider specialises in Hydrogen fu -
Environmentally Friendly and Highly Efficient Multi-Fuel Power Generation System
This technology is related to the development of a highly innovative, energy efficient and environmentally friendly power production unit for decentralized (on or off grid) power generation. The unit has the capability for combined heat and power (CHP)production, as needed. The device is able to convert the fuel (LPG/NG/Biogas) into electrical and -
Hydrogen-on-Demand (HOD) System for Fuel Cell Portable Power Applications
The lack of hydrogen infrastructure has been the major barrier to fuel cell commercialisation, especially for portable applications. Some companies offer hydrogen solutions based on liquid sodium borohydride. These commercial solutions, however, have some drawbacks. Sodium borohydride solution faces problems, such as, precious catalyst with short l -
Smart Underwater Battery Power System for Inspection Remote Underwater Vehicles
Ships coming into docks are required to undergo hull inspections and dock position checks. This task is traditionally performed by human divers. Recently, remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) have been deployed to aid in this process. However, conventional ROVs require the use of long umbilical cables or tethers to power the vehicles from s -
Energy Efficient Hydrogen Production via Hybrid Photocatalysis/Electrolysis System
This invention entails a very cost-effective method of producing Hydrogen, which is an important element for clean and sustainable energy. A combination of electrolysis, photocatalysis and photovoltaic panels splits water to produce Hydrogen. This novel approach significantly enhances the Hydrogen production rate while using relatively less energy -
Fuel Cell for Consumer & Medical Electronics
This fuel cell technology fits discretely into consumer and medical electronics. It can recharge in seconds and run off-the-grid for years, as it does not require a power outlet. The fuel cell has been demonstrated in a hearing aid and is sutiable for personal devices. -
CO2-derived Nanoparticles for Polymer and Concrete Applications
The overarching issue of greenhouse gas emissions is well known in both scope and consequences. With over 30 billion tonnes of CO 2 emitted annually, humanity emits over 100 times its own weight in greenhouse gas emissions that accelerate climate change patterns unparalleled in recent history. The technology provider has developed a process to conv
