Waste Heat Generator
- free electricity for industry
Final Decision Maker: Energy producers
The Waste Heat electric generator is a revolutionary new concept that converts low temperature waste heat (as low as 120degF) directly to free electricity. The system is new in that it uses low temperature heat from industrial processes that has previously been discarded as waste. This system uses this low temperature heat source in way that has never been before possible. Engineering experts are claiming that this system is as close to breaking the 2nd law of Thermodynamics as anything the energy world has ever seen. Experts from Energy Producing, Energy Technology companies, and the Engineering community have said that this is now 'blurring' the line of possibilities. The process is environmentally safe with no ozone depleting elements, unlike other 'low' temperature energy conversion cycles. Benchtop testing has delivered a sustained 40VDC output at 4amps with a 120degF energy source.

Inventor(s) Commentary:
This product and system has been initially seen with extreme pessimism by member of the industrial and scientific communities. After the system was demonstrated successfully, all of the naysayers have changed their views. They have walked away as true believers. The business is experiencing a large number of interested technical parties and energy producers at this time. |
