MEMSflower

This project aims at increasing the conversion efficiency of photovoltaic modules applying the concept of moveable mounting panels to the microscale. Thanks to the improvements in micro-fabrication processes, it is now possible to integrate solar cells over movable structures, realizing the first Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Sunflower (MEMSflower).

Mentis

Mentis, or "mind" in Latin," is the future of information transferring technology. Just as the computer and the internet giving the world access to all knowledge known to man revolutionized humanity once, Mentis would revolutionize the world again by making this knowledge accessible to anyone at the speed of thought.

Metal Clad Vacuum Super Insulation

A Super Thermal Insulator that will last over 100 years and potentially save the planet.

A simple patented technology makes it possible to achieve insulation values of 0.0015 W/mK. This means that a panel only 15 mm thick could replace the wall of a building nearly half a metre thick.

Micro Sun

Saving energy is similar to creating energy in this way: if someone saves 1 KWH of energy then there is no need to produce that 1 KWH. This alleviates pollution and helps in carbon credit.

At present, there is a great need for an ultra high efficiency light source (Lumen per Watt), long life (hours),

Microwave Assisted Fuel Pre-Heater for Diesel Engines

The core idea behind this proposal is the scientific expectation that surface functionalized carbonaceous nanoparticle containing pre-heated diesel engine fuel (petrodiesel, biodiesel etc.) would have increased molecular kinetic energy and better reaction characteristics resulting in a more efficient and greener combustion process.

When exposed to certain microwave spectra,

Microwave Powered Bug Eradication Device

This is a means of killing bed bug infestation in bed mattresses and other hard to treat areas that can handle exposure to microwave energy, yet the use of insecticides is not welcomed. The diagram gives a basic design layout for building a microwave transmitter to provide short-range microwave exposure to areas where bed bugs might be hiding.

Migrating Floating Gardens

Migrating Floating Gardens is a sketch for a project that predicts the next location for green in urban environments. Historically, urban environments encroached upon outlying wilderness and green was detached from the city. Subsequently green was introduced first on the horizontal plane in the form of parks. Modernity and the development of dense,
