Active magnetic bearings for electrical machines

Around 40% of the electricity worldwide is consumed by rotating electrical machines. However, most of the electrical machines are not working at the optimum point from a process efficiency perspective. SpinDrive's solution claims to lower the customer's lifecycle costs by 35%. The company provides design and prototyping of high-speed electrical drivetrains and serial production of active magnetic bearings. SpinDrive’s solution claims to lower the drivetrain losses by half. They further claim that, for the 500-kW unit operating 8000 hours per year, their solution enables 2-year payback time.

Climactiv - be active.

Climactiv - be active. wrote: Let us imagine ashanti. She wants to engage in climate action but finds it difficult to find the right way to do this. But we have the solution, by offering our holistic sustainability approach “climactiv” to ashantis employer, in our example sap (this could also be a city, university or a country). The sample sap was chosen because of their high engagement on sustainable growth of the region. This allows ashanti to collect climate points throughout her day, which she does by coming to work by bike, having a vegetarian lunch and participating in the tree planting challenge in the evening. Additionally, she can enter new challenges for other employers, which can be rated by her colleagues... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

SpringUp

SpringUp wrote: What is the main idea?. We implemented a webapp, which allows a community-driven and internationally scalable method of collecting data for blooming trees. Our goal is to collect as many images of blooming trees as possible to provide a more detailed analysis of the effects of climate change on phenology. How does it work?. A user is challenged to take a picture of a blooming tree in their community. We predict blooming species of trees on a local level based on historical data. When the user uploads an image of a blooming tree, our machine learning model analyzes the picture to classify if the tree is the correct species and if it is in fact blooming. Once verified, the user is eligible for prizes (e. G... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Touch Climate

Touch Climate wrote: We chop down the huge bulk of information about climate change into small, digestible pieces in our interactive graphs. People can get a good picture of climate change facts on the go, as well as about how their local behavior can contribute to the big solution. With weekly changing graphs provided by touch climate, people can experience how rising global co2 levels have been connected to days of extreme heat per year in their hometown over the last 70 years, calculate the co2 emissions they produced on their way to the shopping center, or see what the different scenarios set out by the international panel of climate change (ipcc) actually implicate for global temperature, and more..
