Optics for solar panels at 1/3rd cost, higher efficiency and high scale

Agira’s micro-optics technology traps and accumulates sunlight incident from multiple angles of the sun inside a static glass panel. This product delivers high intensity light to the edge of the glass panel where solar cells can be attached to produce power. Because our patent-pending optics reduces active solar cell requirement to 1-2%,

Phase Change materials for waste heat management

The idea that is proposed here is an Organic Rankine cycle that is compact and small and works on phase change material instead of a pump. This novel replacement can make this energy producing device run on just heat (even solar energy) as input.

Pith Pack

Coir pith is the corky material found between the fibres in the husk of a coconut. The coconut husk goes to fibre mills where the coir fibre is extracted. The by-product of this process is coir pith. For many years coir pith was the waste product

of the extraction process and was dumped outside of coir fibre mills.

plant food controller

The fruit and vegetables are our main source of sustenance. Not all the contents of these

starches are necessary. Like people with kidney problems must not take sodium, potassium, calcium, etc. but only few foods supports them. So, in order to suppress the nonsupporting nutrients there must be regulation at the fruit or vegetable formation level itself.

Plasmsolar

The most important hope for mankind to escape from the energy problem is Solar Energy. As this source will be with us for a long time. Earth receives 174 petawatts (PW) of incoming solar radiation (insolation) at the upper atmosphere.

But a large amount of this energy gets wasted because of the reflection from the Earth's surface.

Power Generation and Natural AirConditioning system through Tesla Turbine on Moving Vehicles

All the moving vehicles under motion generate wind quite sufficient to generate small electricity through wind turbines. Placing a wind turbine on the top of the locomotives is another challenge. On the grounds of conservation of energy our idea is to use the wind energy we experience from moving vehicles for power generation. A speeding train, for instance,
