Hyper4 - High Efficiency Internal Combustion Engine

The Hyper4 (a 4 stroke, 4 cylinder engine) improves the fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines by up to 75% (as reflected by Simulink Matlab and Converge CFD modelling software), approaching 50% brake thermal efficiency in a unique, compact axial design that is both straightforward and inexpensive to manufacture. Unlike a standard inline engine,

Improving Efficiency of Solar Cells at the Small Scale

This innovation relates to the modification of the surface of solar panels to increase the efficiency. In essence, this technology will make use of flexible solar cells that can be made to conform to other than a planar surface. In this way, even if no optimal orientation at 90 degrees from the solar radiation angle,

Integration of Nano Crystal Solar Cells with Rotor Blades and Tower of Wind Turbines

Our concept lies within the realm of green energy and by our intent we seek a better world where we wouldn’t have to compromise the integrity of our little place in this solar system.

We seek to merge Nano-crystalline solar cells (thin film) with wind turbines, so that we can obtain more energy from a single structure.

Lightweight, Compact, High Output Generator

The laws of physics restrict the rotational speeds of traditional large generators due to the increased centrifugal forces. Hoover Dam generators run at around 1.5 - 2.0 Hz.; their substantial centrifugal forces require these and similar generators to run at relatively low frequencies which results in very low specific outputs (kW/lb. and kW/ft3).

LimpiAgua: Device for Treating Water by Photocatalysis

The most common contaminants of water are organic compounds, bacteria and protozoa that pose a great risk to human health. However, the existence of recalcitrant pollutants prevents effective treatment by conventional methods. A novel environmentally friendly alternative for the elimination of recalcitrant pollutants is the advanced oxidation processes, such as photocatalysis (TiO2).

Magnet Null Spot Motor

A magnetic void (null spot) is created on a portion of inner hole of a ring magnet by absorbing North and South poles in that portion using small disc magnets having diameter equal to top and bottom surface width of ring magnet.

When a steel ball or spherical magnet is kept in that void,
