A New Kind of Highly-Efficient Wireless Charging Technology

Presently, almost all inductive wireless charge (WLC) devices -- the so-called charge pads -- have a thin-plane structure. Available WLCs on the market now follow the same working principle as an electric transformer, however, there is a big and fundamental difference: unlike the transformers used everywhere else, these inductive WLCs do not have magnetic cores.

Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling Shelter

Billions lack air conditioning as heat-related mortality rises globally. Conventional AC consumes large amounts of energy, relies on refrigerants that leak about 720 million metric tons of CO₂-equivalents annually, and remains unaffordable for much of the world. This entry presents a passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) tent that delivers 8–10°C below-ambient cooling with zero electricity, refrigerants,

Transfigure Waste-to-Energy : A Decentralized Plastic-to-Fuel System for Converting Plastic Waste into Fuel

Plastic waste is now one of the biggest environmental issues globally. Large amounts of non-recyclable plastic keep piling up in landfills, rivers, and dumping sites. Municipalities are facing rising costs for collection, transportation, and disposal. Current recycling systems cannot handle a large portion of mixed and contaminated plastic waste, leading to lost resources and environmental harm.

BioFacade: Living Algae Building Cladding System for Carbon Capture and Biofuel Co-Production

Commercial buildings account for 40% of global energy consumption and 28% of CO₂ emissions. Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) address part of this through solar glass, but glass facades serve only an energy-generation function. BioFacade transforms building exteriors into living carbon-capture and biofuel production systems by replacing conventional glass cladding with bioreactor panels containing photosynthetic microalgae cultures,

MagnaKinetic: Retrofit Regenerative Braking Module for Class 8 Freight Trucks

Heavy freight trucks consume 25% of US transportation fuel despite representing only 5% of registered vehicles. A Class 8 semi-truck on a typical urban freight route brakes 40–70 times per hour, dissipating 15–25% of total propulsion energy as heat in friction brake pads. Electrified powertrains recover this energy in battery-electric trucks,

AcoustoGen: No-Moving-Part Thermoacoustic Waste-Heat Engine

Industry and transportation generate enormous quantities of waste heat, steel plants exhaust gases at 400–900°C, ship engines reject 50% of fuel energy as heat, data centers operate liquid cooling loops at 60–80°C. Recovering even a fraction of this heat as electricity could offset hundreds of millions of tonnes of CO₂ annually. Conventional heat recovery systems (Rankine cycle,
