Modular rubber sidewalks

UrbanTech wrote: Through the recycling of disused tires, the proposal is that a new sidewalk model will be created, configured in individual modules, allowing a design variability, following customer preference regarding shape and arrangement of parts. Being more resistant, durable and sustainable, and requires little maintenance. What makes this idea interesting is the fact that it is standardized, to obtain greater accessibility to attract the most diverse pedestrian audiences, having a social inclusion and bringing autonomy to those most affected by the lack of mobility, encouraging the conscious use of cars...

Modular solar system and DC micro-grid for off-grid applications

SolarWorXUG has developed a modular solar solution for households and small businesses in off-grid areas. Each system can accommodate a 80 Wh or 160 Wh battery and two 50 W solar panels. Individual systems can be interconnected with their DC micro-grid modules so that energy-intense appliances, such as milling machines, can be powered and the security of supply for each connected household is increased. The introduction of solar power can lower the dependency on diesel fueled generators in remote areas.

Module with heat-superconducting material and PV

Solar hot water and PV power are the two main approaches to utilize solar energy at present. However, the energy conversion efficiency of solar water heater and PV modules still needs to be improved, and the average service life of water heater is only 3-5 years. Ecoway Energy Technology Group developed a micro heat pipe array heat using superconducting materials. Its thermal conductivity is about 5000 times greater than aluminium and with a high efficiency and durability. It avoids the common problems of traditional flat solar collector such as solder joints cracking, high antifreeze cost etc, which prolongs the lifetime.

We aim to transform this apparent issue into an opportunity. Our approach needs to change: why destroy something still functional instead of reusing it? the basic construction elements of many “out of use” buildings are still in really good shape and we want to put them to good use! . Moveatile is a game-changing project: we aim to design products using the circular economy approach and we start from waste! moveatile detachable ceramic fixing system extends the tiles’ lifetime, offers the option of multiple-use and the opportunity to resell the tiles - once no longer needed - instead of destroying them...

We incentivize consumers to save electricity by monetizing their electricity savings through the muon blockchain platform. Whatever electricity consumers save are monetized either in cash, credits or rewards. When a consumer buys electricity either via main grid or prosumers through muon app, we convert that to equivalent power tokens and, compare their electricity consumption within the peer group. We actively provide personalized electricity-saving tips that help consumers to save electricity. Whatever electricity they save are traded through our platform to other peers or merchants. Merchants have an option to trade their merchandize against the electricity tokens... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Mvua Nzuri wrote: Typically, the soil type is not consistent throughout the field. It varies. Instead of pouring each and every inch of it with the same intensity, it makes more sense to irrigate certain areas only when really necessary.  to determine the need, we have developed low-cost, wireless sensorpacks that can be put anywhere into the soil. The sensors measure rain, brightness, humidity, soil moisture, temperature and air pressure. However, their great potential will only occur if several sensors are distributed over the field and linked with each other. Due to triangulation of the signal transit time, it is possible to calculate their relative position in the mesh... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon
