IRNERO wrote: Solar panels need regular cleaning to work properly and remain high efficiency. Irnero developed smart self-cleaning system for solar panels; it detects contamination of solar panel and cleans without human interaction. It increases solar panels efficiency up to 40%. It can be used in different climate conditions, and can be installed in places where it's hard-to-reach. The technology is patented. Smart self-cleaning system for solar panels makes using solar panels easier and more comfortable, it is cheaper than regular service of cleaning teams. By rising efficiency of solar panels, smart self-cleaning system rises saving of co2. Let's get more clean energy, with clean solar panels... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Making athletic apparel sustainable

Iron Roots wrote: Imagine wearing a t-shirt that is made completely out of cannabis. Sounds crazy right? well not if it is up to us. . At iron roots, we create athletic apparel made from industrial hemp, the non-smokeable, legal version of cannabis. Industrial hemp has a lot of environmental benefits compared to for example cotton or polyester, so it should be, in our opinion, more widely used in the clothing industry. . As you might know, the clothing industry is the second largest industrial polluter, second only to oil. This is due to the lack of use of sustainable materials and lack of transparency within the industry. We exist to tackle these problems and to inspire the use of industrial hemp. ...

Intelligent Traffic Control

IT-c wrote: We are it-c (intelligent traffic-control), a hungarian start-up aiming to change the behavior of traffic lights from the current time-based system to a new, live traffic-based solution. Our system receives live traffic data and changes the lights based on live traffic conditions without any restrictions for green-red cycle lengths. It is fully automated which means that only maintenance is required to keep the system working, and we link together the junctions, which creates a network of intersections in the city. It-c aims to accelerate the transition between today’s non-automated traffic and the future’s smart mobility by creating a stabile basis on which all the innovations in mobility can perfectly fit...

Speed control technology to capture slip-loss energy

Jiangsu Magnet Valley Technology Co., Ltd. Produces winding permanent magnetic coupling adjustable speed drive in motor system. It is a kind of non-contact permanent magnetic drive technology which consists of permanent magnetic rotor, winding rotor and the control system. When there is speed difference between the p-m rotor and winding internal rotor, induced electromotive force will be generated in the winding. By controlling the induced current, speed control and soft start can be realized. During power transmission, the slip power is converted into electric energy to be fedback and reused, which is efficient and energy saving; completely solving the problem of temperature rise of other variable speed regulating devices.
