Solar powered small-scale agricultural machines

ALTO precision’s aim is to develop a range of solar-powered small-scale decentralised machinery for remote small holding agri-processing needs in India. Their current developments include a range of small-scale rice processing machines. The solar rice huller is a 360 W machine that can produce 100 kg/hour with a hulling efficiency of 98% in the first pass, which ALTO precision claims is the most efficient small-scale rice processing machine in the world, almost 50% more efficient than any other machine, at a low price. The machines are solar powered, high capacity and very efficient, giving farmers access to a sustainable energy source and providing food security and the opportunity to create an additional income.

Access to clean water in the Amazon

Amana Katu wrote: Water in the amazon is a paradox: while the region has abundant rainfall and freshwater, over 10 million people lack access tomclean water in the brazilian amazon. Large public water systems are too costly and complex to efficiently reach urban slum areas and riverside communities, where uncollected rainwater causes floods and spreads disease. . As a social business, amana katu trains and employs at-risk youth from regional ngo movimento república de emaús to develop and build low-cost, sustainable rainwater collection and purification systems for use in homes and agriculture, and sell them through an e-commerce platform with a 5-for-1 business model - every 5 systems sold, 1 is donated to a low-income family with no access to water...

Energy generation using ambient heat

Ambient Engine wrote: Ambient engine deliver power by sucking heat from atmosphere and convert to useful energy for energy generation, automobiles and powering the drones for unlimited period of time without refueling. The proposed idea utilizes the ambient heat to energy and can produce energy while on the go eliminating the need for heavy battery storage system. Inspired by the natural process of rain where water absorbing heat from ambient atmosphere for phase change is the technology behind the idea. Utilizing the atmospheric temperature to change fluid to gas in an orc turbine. And generate energy from it and cool the working fluid using an external air conditioning system...

Integration of energy storage from kW to MW

The solutions aims to support energy storage technology. Energy storage is made more efficient by the proposed standardization from the company. The application range is wide, allowing for standardization to be used in more cases. There is also a proposal for energy storage system farms. Increased storage can enable more intermittent renewable energy to be produced.

Cold-rolled ribbed steel bar with high ductility

Anyang Heli Techtronic Metallurgy New Technology Co., Ltd have developed cold-rolled ribbed steel bar with high ductility. It combines several manufacturing techniques to enhance the strength of steel bar, and then improves its ductility with heat treatment process to eliminate residual stress and repair the microstructure defects. The company claims that, compared to traditional hot-rolled technique, their technology saves about 40% of energy, as well as alloy materials, such as vanadium nitrogen, manganese silicon. Furthermore, to produce a ton of steel with their technology could save 130 kwh of power, as well as 9.3 kg standard coal, and cost near zero amount of water.

Desalinating sea water

Aqua Ziwa wrote: With our solution we are able to desalinate 2000l of sea water in an hour into drinkable water. The whole solution is estimated to cost 380. 000€ per unit and does not require many maintenance nor special employee to operate it. Our sollution could be applied into variable areas like ports, hotels, govrnments, but our beachhead market are privately owned islands. As the owners of them are usually also supporters of green technology we believe we'll also with their support have easier antrance in muncipality and government markets...
