Problem: What is your Power Factor?  Power factor is the percentage of electricity that’s delivered to your home or business and used effectively, compared to what is wasted. For example, a 1.0 power factor means that all the electricity that’s being delivered is being used effectively for its purpose. However, most homes in America today have a .77 power factor or less. This means that 77% of the electricity that is coming thru your meter at your home or business is being used effectively, the other...

Problem: No Nepal, aqueles que não têm acesso eletricidade geralmente fazem uso de lâmpadas base de querosene (cerca de 2,4 milhôes de famílias). Este tipo de iluminação nem é eficaz em termos de custos, nem é "ambientalmente sustenátvel". No âmbito macro, uma vez que o querosene precisa ser importado, o governo tem que gastar suas limitadas reservas de moeda estrangeira (e a taxa internacional de petórleo vem aumentando diariamente). No âmbito micro, a emissão deste tipo de fumaça afeta olhos e pulmô...

Action: Orientação comuniátria sobre tecnologias novas e renováveis. Distribuição/venda do Solar Tuki com plano de parcelamento do pagamento: embora o custo por conjunto do Solar Tukis seja de apenas US$50 (1 conjunto = 1 painel solar e 2 unidades de lâmpadas), famílias pobres não têm dinheiro para pagá-los de uma só vez. Assim, o pagamento facilitado pelo parcelamento. Eles pagam o investimento em parcelas, utilizando o dinheiro que, de outro modo, usariam para comprar querosene. Solar Tuki uma l...

Problem: OUR CURRENT POWER GENERATION SYSTEM USES AN UNSUSTAINABLE MODEL, THAT HAS LED MANKIND INTO THE WRONG PATH     The world needs more electricity in the next 30 years. The US will grow its capacity, but China and India who are currently under supplied, are carrying a very rapid aggressive expansion policy to generate more than they currently produce. Current supply models are centralized, generate electricity using very large plants from multiple sources of energy, both non-renewable and renewab...

Action:  A DISTRIBUTED POWER GENERATION SYSTEM WOULD CORRECT THE PATH OF MANKIND AND ESTABLISH A MORE EQUITABLE WORLD ORDER   Having a stand alone, small electrical power generators based on Solar energy for the home, business, and light weigh industry would provide everyone, all over the world, the possibility of having modern living comforts and power tools to produce goods and services, that create well being. The small stand alone power generator would allow people in Asia, Africa, Latin America ...

Problem: The refrigerator is the appliance that consumes the most power in the home, between 10%-25% of the electricity costs per year. The average lifespan of a residential refrigerator/freezer  is now 12 years, during which maintenance is required 3 times on average. It is inherently wasteful to chill the air in the appliance when it is already cold outside; the appliance is poorly designed, and must chill the internal air 24 x 7 x 365 – even when not in use. Minor modifications would increase effic...

Action: The solution is a  modification to existing refrigerators, freezers and combination devices. Once installed, the control panel decides when it is appropriate to use free cold air from the outside to chill one or both compartments. When the Coldsnap devices are operating, they use 80%-95% less power than the appliances' compressor systems to get the same result. During warmer periods, the device evacuates created heat to the outside to prevent redundant cooling of the home environment. Other e...
