Solar ORC Cogeneration for Underserved Areas

Access to affordable, renewable energy generation is necessary to drive sustainable development and global access to quality health care and education. In response to this demand, we have developed a novel solar thermal electricity and thermal power plant technology that has 30-50% lower lifecycle costs than currently available photovoltaic panels and diesel generators.

Solar Powered Warning Beacon

We're attempting to fill the need to illuminate containers dropped onto flatbeds being driven on highways throughout the world without any lights. Presently all trailers have lights on their top perimeters making them visible, but no such lighting exists on containers. This invention addresses that and may be useful in other areas as well.

Solar Water and Air Purification Balloon

Balloon materials used, like nylon or dacron, withstand great amounts of heat, and a material of this nature that is clear and magnifies heat, could allow UAV water purification and distillation within the balloon envelope, much like a solar still. The solar still relies on sunlight to warm and evaporate the water to be purified. The water vapor condenses,
