The worlds first production Infinity Turbine IT10 5-12 kw waste heat to power generator, based on the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) turbine that generates electricity.

http://www.infinityturbine.com

This video shows our first prototype running on R134 refrigerant. The turbine is turning (no load) at about 20,000 rpm and with load at about 8,000 rpm. Most of the noise will be taken care of by use of a muffler system for the feed pump. The high pitch whine is the turbine. Design sound is about 45 dB.

The first production units will be with permanent magnet alternators. Custom AC units in 50 hz or 60 hz will be available shortly.

Used in geothermal, solar and waste heat (industrial waste heat, gas turbine waste heat, diesel engine waste heat). Excess heat from the system output can be used for CHP applications, including desalination, hot water, air conditioning, chiller and process heat.

The turbine will operate off low grade industrial waste heat. It will also operate from geothermal, hot springs, oil well producer water or solar collector heat in the 70-150 C range.

The evaporator and condenser exit may operate in conjunction with a secondary heat exchanger for CHP hot water or chiller applications. It may also be used in tandem with a CHP, air cooling tower, or ground based geothermal system.

The IT10 is a 5-12 kilowatt power producing unit which operates off of waste heat, by vaporizing and pressurizing a environmentally friendly refrigerant which spins a turbine generator.

The unit produces 48 Volts DC. A standard inverter can convert the VDC to AC power, stand-alone or grid connect, and in 50hz or 60hz.

The IT10 is a rack-mounte plug-and-play ORC unit which can be numbered up in series to 100 kw. For AC applications, we’re offering a fully enclosed silent generation unit.

For larger applications, we have the IT250 and IT500.

For Geothermal applications (Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS)), you may utilize oil and gas wells, or abandoned wells that reach depths to get temperatures greater than 150 deg. C. In general, you may sink a deep well anywhere in the continental USA around a depth of 15,000 ft to reach this temperature. The diameter of the well will determine the maximum power you can reach with this type of power generating system. Another example of utilizing geothermal resources is at Chena Hot Springs, in Alaska, or The Geysers in northern California, or Puna Geothermal Venture in Hawaii, or Mammoth-Pacific geothermal power plants at Casa Diablo in California.

For diesel generator sets (CHP), you can first use the heat to make additional power, then still use the leftover heat for CHP.

For Solar Options you can use resource heat from parabolic trough solar, tube solar, or other means of solar heated thermal liquid.

Evaporator Exit Heat: Can be used for saltwater desalination, fresh water maker, chiller, hot water or additional process heat, such as drying and other applications (lumber dry kiln, firewood dry kiln, hardwood drykiln, greenhouse, etc.).

Condenser Exit Heat: Can be used for the production of secondary energy products, like hot water, chilled water or district heating, such as in radiant floor heating, or greenhouse heat.

This system may be able to access renewable (green) energy credits, as well as CO2 offset credits, which are worth as much as 25 Euro a ton.

This system is similar in function to the system at Chena Hot Springs, where a organic Rankine cycle is used to produce power from a geothermal source.

pole-mount (ground-mount) solar PV system, what it looks like during construction, and some information on the wiring and solar in general.

All solar PV panels generate Direct Current (”DC”) in the daylight, converting the energy of the sun into the movement of electrons. DC current is like a cattle drive, where all the electrons are moving in one direction, to the load, then they move back to the source. Thus, DC current is one steady flow of energy born by electrons in motion.

The DC power goes to an integral DC cutoff, which enables electricians to cut off the flow of DC power TO the inverter when servicing it. This DC power is the most pure you can imagine, it’s great for welding, and you can easily strike an arc with it. These high-voltage inverters run at about 400v, and generate about 5 kW, or about 12 amps to use if you wanted to weld with it. I’ve struck an arc with DC from a 80v 3 kW system, which had thus about 40 amps.

The DC power goes into the INVERTER, which changes it to standard house current (Alternating Current, or AC). AC current is like a long line of cows doing the Texas Two Step, one step forward, one step back. AC is best for power transmission, but almost all household appliances use DC vis interanal inverters.

From the inverter the AC power goes to the AC cutoff and the performance meter, which gives a double-check on how much power the solar system produces.

This “grid-tied” system operates like a stream flowing into a river — it just merges with the utility power, filling up the house first, then, if there’s an excess, running the main meter backward and helping the utility meet peak demand.

Pole-mounted systems lose the advantage of roof-mounted systems which actually cool the house, lowering the need for air conditioning. Under the panels, it’s shade, and it protects the rooftop.

These holes had to be 48″ deep, and were filled by 3.5 yards of 5-bag concrete delivered to each hole by a cement truck. The system was wired up according to the prepared Wiring Plan, inspected and approved less than one week later, and is now in operation.

SOLAR REVOLUTION - Solar Paint
Ted Sargent is a pioneer in solar science. He’s working on solar technology that could literally be woven into every aspect of daily life, from our clothes to our roads, using what is known as a spray-on solar cell. The implications for our energy systems are profound. As Ted says, “Solar energy is not just an exciting science problem, but an incredibly important human problem.”

Ted is working on solar nanotechnology with the potential to make solar energy very cheap and allow society to collect it on a huge scale. Currently, solar technology costs more to build and install than most people are willing to pay. Solar panels, for example, the technology most commonly ociated with solar energy, are installed on your rooftop. The cost of collecting one kilowatt per hour of solar energy (about a third of the electricity an average household uses on any given day) is about $11,000.

Not only are panels expensive to install, they capture only the visible portion of the sun’s rays so they work only on sunny days. Ted’s focus is the infrared portion of the sun’s rays which accounts for more than half of all solar energy. What’s more, infrared energy is available to us even in cloudy weather.
A quantum dot is a semiconductor nanostructure that confines the motion of conduction band electrons, valence band holes, or excitons (bound pairs of conduction band electrons and valence band holes) in all three spatial directions. The confinement can be due to electrostatic potentials (generated by external electrodes, doping, strain, impurities), the presence of an interface between different semiconductor materials (e.g. in core-shell nanocrystal systems), the presence of the semiconductor surface (e.g. semiconductor nanocrystal), or a combination of these. A quantum dot has a discrete quantized energy spectrum. The corresponding wave functions are spatially localized within the quantum dot, but extend over many periods of the crystal lattice. A quantum dot contains a small finite number (of the order of 1-100) of conduction band electrons, valence band holes, or excitons, i.e., a finite number of elementary electric charges.

Build a Homemade Solar Water Heater Quickly and Easily With Solar Hot Water Kits
Did you ever want to construct a solar water heater? Luckily there are kits and plans that can help you start building your water heater that runs on solar power. With the advancement of technology, you can now build water heater powered by the sun, an idea once thought impossible. Building a heater that runs on natural energy can be beneficial both to the environment and to your wallet. The prices of gas and electric bills have steadily risen, and people are starting to try find ways to reduce the prices of their utilities. The prices of heating bills and gas bills vary anywhere from $20 for small apartments to $100s and even $1000s for larger structures such as homes and buildings.

When building a solar water heater, there are a couple of parts that you will need. One of the most complex and crucial parts is the solar panel. The solar panel is complex because it changes the energy of the sun into electrical power. Without there will be no power to heat the water. Solar panels can be bought in stores or ordered online. The prices online will mostly be the cheaper of the two. If you are on a very tight budget and are mechanically inclined, you can try to construct your own solar panel. This a rather complicated process and I would not recommend anyone doing unless they have a guide or solar hot water kits.

There are some smaller things you will need such as metal pipes and wires. However I recommend getting a book, guide, or blueprint that can help you build a homemade solar water heater.

Want to build A Homemade Solar Water Heater now! Now you can with Solar Hot Water Kits that come with step-by-step instructions that show you how to build a solar water heater with materials from your own garage!
