Revolving door without heat loss

Green door wrote: This idea refers to a revolving door how reduces energy lost through her using a simple fan. This idea works on door with four compartments, and functions as it folows: the door have one compartment above the door (a) where is engine, and second compartment is under the floor (b). The roof and the floor have holls on the left side and on the right side. The door ratates to the right, in the winter for example , on the left side hot air goes out and on the right cold air goes inside. If we put a fan (1) up to push through chamber (a) air from the left compartment that goes out,... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Robotic vehicle to insulate suspended timber floors

Q-Bot have developed what they claim is the first affordable and fully accredited solution for the retrofit of insulation to suspended floors. The solution works by using a robotic vehicle to insulate the underside of suspended timber floors in-situ. The robot is inserted under the floor through an access hatch or air vent and surveys the void and condition of the floor. If suitable, the robot sprays an expanding insulation foam and finally records the insulation to verify the area and depth of insulation applied.

Rooftop solar system with DC appliances

Basil Energetics Private Limited wrote: Super efficient dc appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, fans, pumps and lights enable drastically reduced power & energy. They run directly from the dc of the solar panels without any inverter. A smart nano grid which monitors the power availability in the panels and the load demand, automatically decides to run the appliances from solar, grid power or both. Excess energy can be fed back to the power grid. For remote areas without access to grid, battery storage is possible. Due to the much lower demand for energy, the battery capacity is drastically reduced. Compared to conventional solar system, in basil system, the capex is reduced by at least 50% and the opex by around 75%... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Roots Reach the Water

Latest Water Benders wrote: With the motto “roots reach water! slogan, we developed the project of detecting and reducing the ayak water footprint un project on the agricultural scale of tarsus, which has a rate of 68% for irrigated agriculture, 40% for water loss and leakage, and 76% for water use in agriculture. In the project, tarsus, whose income is based on agriculture and agriculture; our main motive was to reduce the risks of producers and investors and to increase their economic predictability against a climate that would decrease rainfall and increase temperature and drought...

Rovuma Aquaponics

Rovuma Aquaponics wrote: Rovuma aquaponics produce organic vegetable and fish from combination of two sustainable system, the aquaculture and hydroponics, to respond the high food demand. This system basically uses water, light, feed given to the aquatic animals, and electricity to pump the water. The vegetables plants are grown in hydroponics, and the fish is raised in an aquaculture system. The fish is fed and the excrete waster is converted by beneficial bacteria to nutrients that the plants use. In consuming these nutrients, the plants help to purify the water which is then supplied to the fish... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

SafePeaks: a mobile app for mountain safety

SafePeaks wrote: Safepeaks mobile application will solve three of the crucial problems that today the tourism in general, but the mountains one in particular, has to face : the lack of people’s consciousness about new emerging dangers, their inability to report emergency situations and safety issues caused by the difficult coordination among different civil protection bodies. To solve the first problem, safepeaks will give the users the possibility to get a quick overview of the climatic conditions, including the information about the different routes available in a selected area...

SAIL(Save an Important Life)

SAIL wrote: We worked on waste management. Where we sub-divided it into two major categories, biodegradable and non-biodegradable. The non-biodegradable material used was plastic to produce an alternative, cheaper and effective life jacket. While the biodegradable waste was used to produce an organic fish feed and organic npk fertilizers. Our solutions are based on reusing these waste materials and turning it into a tangible product beneficial to our society and environment. During our needs assessments, carried out in rivers state nigeria we noticed that the major deaths occurring on our waterways were caused by low availability of life jackets for passengers that board these boats and waste materials discarded incessantly...
