The FuturECOool

The FuturECOool wrote: We developed a hybrid between vapour compressor system that is used right now and the elastocaloric technology that is considered to be the technology of the future. Main advantage compared to existing cooling technology is 30% higher effiviency and usage of. 30% less harmful refrigirants (freons). We have applied for tha patent on main potential markets. Main technological issues have been resolved already (liftime of materials) and we are ready to licence the technology... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Sunket (Sun jacket)

TTF wrote: Sun jacket or sunket is a jacket which would be modified with solar microchips which would be woven into a fabric. The solar microchips would gather the solar energy and transform it into electricity which would power small devices like phones and tablets and maybe even laptops. The jacket itself would look apsolutely like every other jacket. The fabric would be washable and the microchips would be waterproof so in case of washing, the jacket would be safe. In the start of making the prototype, the devices would be conected with an usb cabel but in further development, we would find a better solution. The jacket would come in three different designs: everyday use (smaller power usage, more focused on the design)... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Energetic manure

Energetic manure wrote: With the help of collective tubes , we gather waste from houses to the inlet which brings the waste to the anaerobic digester. Here waste is being recycled by special methanogenic bacteria which only work in anaerobic environment, in absence of oxygen. The output of this reaction gives a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide which is called biogas which could be used to supply houses with thermal energy and electricity. However, the leftover sludge is, the recycled waste, is sent to the. Tank to be used as fertilizers... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

We make hydropower more cost-effective

ExoLabs wrote: Hydropower operators need accurate water inflow predictions to generate energy most profitably. In snowmelt dominated catchments (1/4 of the world’s hydropower), uncertain snowmelt quantities deteriorate inflow predictions resulting in overall losses of 7-10%, annually. Our solution to this problem includes data from multiple satellite constellations, ground station networks and numerical weather forecasts to derive real-time snow quantities in a 20 m spatial resolution for entire mountain ranges. Using scalable cloud processing and innovative machine learning algorithms, we are capable to serve hydropower stations globally... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

A multi-functional drag reduction coating for cars

The innovation is a polymeric coating which is placed on car roofs in order to reduce fuel consumption. It also reflects infrared light, keeping the car cool and reducing the need for an AC. The surface will also allow strong adhesion of particles, which helps with the removal of dust from polluted areas.
