Power Systems Licenses

We have approached the question of 'keeping the lights on' from a practical context: We asked ourselves "What can we do to get rid of green house gas emissions, while creating new financial opportunities?" In other words, what can we do to get more energy from every barrel of oil, or railcar of coal burned -- without pumping more CO₂ - Carbon Dioxide - into the air?

What it means to you and your family

We are refining a device we've patented that we like to call a CO₂ Harvester^TM. Boy, that is one geek name right there.

It means that from existing power plants we can get more energy and cleaner air. Our patented process takes in waste CO₂ emissions from a power generator and splits it into two new fuels: Carbon Monoxide and Oxygen. These two gases are not released into the atmosphere -- instead, they are burned as fuel. This means two additional electric power generators can be brought online.

In one step we get no more greenhouse gases while increasing how much energy we get from oil and coal. In geek talk we call this 'gas splitting'. In plain English it's called a happy thing for you and your family.

Our initial thrust has been to apply this technology to power production, but there's nothing stopping us from bringing this to the automotive industry in the near future. This fits quite nicely into the result we were looking to achieve: reduce, or eliminate completely, green house gas emissions.

Finer control over internal combustion

Another way to greatly reduce waste from combustion comes from being able to tell the exact chemical composition of the gases burning inside of an internal combustion engine, or a turbine. The problem is that due to the high temperatures and pressures in an engine normal electronics can't survive directly in these kinds of environments. It's like sending a person into space without any protection -- they'd fry to a crisp in seconds.

Our process writes electronic circuits right onto the ceramic blades of a turbine, or the heads of pistons. Engineers can then interrogate these sensors at any moment. This tells them exactly chemical composition of all the gases, in turn the engine's control systems can make adjustments on-the-fly to burn as much of the fuel as possible.

A new source of power

We call it the DEL^TM (Direct Energy from Light), you'll call it ... I can't write the adjectives we've heard. What they meant to say was "Wow! Neat!"

Our quest for power systems solutions brought us an unexpected blessing: we found that we can create energy by turning the atomic structure of plain glass into a wide-band-gap semiconductor. That's really geek, but simply put we have turned a plain glass window pane -- just like those in your home, office and car -- into a type of solar panel. Where it differs from normal solar panels made of silicone and other materials, is that this new class of nano device turns both visible and invisible light (infrared, ultraviolet, radio waves, etc.) into electricity. So even if the sky is cloudy, you get power. It also doesn't react to the elements (rain, naturally occurring gases in the atmosphere, etc.) so it lasts longer than competing technologies because it doesn't oxidize. Our excitement grows with each new test we perform on this new class of devices. Stay tuned.
