Radial Outflow Turbine ROT biomass organic rankine cycle ORC turbine which we believe is more efficient and less moving parts than a screw expander |
Infinity Turbine Focus Since 2004 we have been intensely focussed on renewable energy and over the last seven years on working with CO2 in a closed loop system. We believe that heap pumps are the future for heating/cooling as well as propulsion systems, which allow us to leverage environmental thermal sinks.The trending development is now towards smaller systems which can be used for electric vehicle battery range extending, as well as electric aviation. Part of this is developing a new CO2 closed loop turbine.We believe compressed air driving water into a ROT is a better alternative to simple compressed air batteries, or using a closed loop CO2 system which drives better energy density than just air alone.Under other development projects we are looking at is using supercritical CO2 for vapor deposition for gamma-monoclinic sulfur onto carbon nanofibers for more eco friendly and higher energy density batteries.Many of our technologies are combined into our new Gas Leverage Turbine (GLT) We are also developing a gas capacitor (flow battery) turbine based on current research which shows swing adsorption of CO2 in a supercapacitor.Gas Leverage Turbine (GLT) Application of Gas Capacitor Battery We welcome any business and equipment inquiries, as well as licensing our turbines for manufacturing.

Gas Leverage Turbine |
Gas Leverage Turbine The Gas Leverage Turbine (GLT) is a product which has been in development for some time. It is a hybrid between the Brayton Cycle and Organic Rankine Cycle. The unique part of this turbine is that it can be closed-loop using CO2 as the working fluid taking advantage of sonochemistry (cavitation) as a process enhancer for the production of battery materials (such as gamma sulfur) as well as a gas flow battery.This amazing device can also be used simultaneously as a heat pump, which only leverages its use in range extending for electric cars. |
Curcumin found in Turmeric can be used to enhance battery components |
Curcumin as a Gamma-sulfur Substitute for Lithium Sulfur Battery Electrodes and Hydrogen Production Curcumin reduces poisoning because of reaction intermediates in battery applications.See link below: Curcumin is used to decorate the gold nanoparticles to stabilize them, forming a porous network around the nanoparticles. Researchers deposited the curcumin gold nanoparticle on the surface of the electrode at a 100 times lower electric current than in previous studies. But the research could have broader implications than improved fuel cells. The electrode’s unique properties could lend itself to future applications in sensors, supercapacitors and more, Ventrapragada said.Curcumin can be extracted from Turmeric using Supercritical CO2. |
Gas Flow Battery Regulated by RPM of Turbine |
Swing Adsorption Gas Capacitor Turbine Another innovation from Infinity Turbine is the CO2 gas capacitor turbine (or gas flow battery).With a closed loop hybrid of the Brayton Cycle within the Organic Rankine Cycle, Infinity discovered the production of high voltage DC static charges when expanding pressurized CO2 over a hybrid plastic. The speed of the turbine regulates the flow, which in turn, will regulate the storage or production of power. The working fluid (CO2) has a low temperature boiling point which allows it to work with a cavitation compression system, or low grade waste heat to go supercritical.Enter the CO2 Supercapacitor: This new field was recently published by Nanoscale in 2022: Supercapacitive swing adsorption (SSA) is a recently discovered electrochemically driven CO2 capture technology that promises significant efficiency improvements over traditional methods. (see link below)The new research confirms that this technology can be used in many applications, including harvesting CO2 from the atmosphere, as well as energy storage devices from remote power generators, off-grid applications, and peak-shaving for demand power periods within the grid.Power generation or storage can be achieved by solid state static whips or by rotating discs from the turbine (direct drive or free-spooling).Enhancing the capacity of supercapacitive swing adsorption CO2 capture by tuning charging protocols Low-cost battery-like device absorbs CO2 emissions while it charges |

The Infinity Supercritical System May be Used for Vapor Deposition of Sulfur on Carbon Nanofiber to Experiment with production of Monoclinic Gamma-phase Sulfur for battery development |
Using Supercritical CO2 for Vapor Deposition of Sulfur on Carbon Nanofiber Lithium Sulfur Battery Research using Vapor Deposition of Sulfur on Carbon Nanofiber: One interesting application may be for the research and production of lithium sulfur batteries. Using CO2 may be one possible route to commercialization of production. ( The team found that during the process of depositing sulfur on the carbon nanofiber surface, changing it from a gas to a solid, it crystallized in an unexpected way, forming a slight variation of the element, called monoclinic gamma-phase sulfur - link below.)The modular construction of the Infinity experimenters system allow easy integration for new technology developments, and multi-role add-ons. The heart of the system is the phase change liquid pumping techniques, flow bar, and tribo effect electrostatic precipitation collection system. Many of these deployed technologies were developed by Infinity since 2015 making this system the most advanced in the industry. More than 100 of these commercial systems have been built and out around the world.Breakthrough in Cathode Chemistry Clears Path for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries Commercial Viability Supercritical Fluid Deposition Of Thin Metal Films: Kinetics, Mechanics And Applications |

50 mm or 2 inch diameter heat pump propulsion examples including cavitation and expander |
Can a Heat Pump propulsion system extend battery range by 50 percent or more ? We have been working on a new type of closed-loop CO2 heat pump system which may extend the range of batteries.This would apply to electric cars, electric trucks, industrial contruction equipment, and battery powered aircraft (drones, RC, and passenger aircraft). Our patented Modular Block system is perfect for vehicles, homes, and scalable applications. The image on the left is our 2 inch diameter cavitation, turbine, and integral counter-rotating compressor expander (CO2 Jet Turbine) examples. For HVAC installations we're expecting at least a COP of 5.The concept of the heat pump is to amplify and use heat from both electricity and the environment. An efficient heat pump can have a COP (coefficient of performance) of 2 or more. That means for every 1 kW of electrical input, you get 2 kW of thermal output (cooling or heating). For a typical heat resistor at 100 percent efficiency, you would get a COP of 1. The concept is to use a high energy dense working fluid like CO2 and leverage the lower boiling temperature (where it goes supercritical around 31.1C or 87.9 F) into a increased pressurized vapor.There are a wide range of energy possibilities, including using the skin of the vehicle for collecting or dissipating thermal energy. Of particular interest is aviation applications where the upper atmosphere is always a big cold sink (condenser).In the construction industry, this could easily be applied to vehicles with hydrostatic (hydraulic) drives for stationary (conveyers) or mobile (earth moving equipment) applications.Currently looking for investors to develop this concept more, so we can approach Tesla and other large battery powered (range anxiety) applications.@Tesla @elonmusk Reversible Heat Pump–Organic Rankine Cycle Systems for the Storage of Renewable Electricity (pdf)Understanding COP: Coefficient Of Performance Of Heat Pumps Heat Pumps the Next Big Thing in Electric Vehicles

The ORC Cycle is Reversible in Heat Pump Applications |
Heat Pump ORC Infinity has build more than one hundred phase change systems including CO2, R245fa, and other refrigerants.The ORC process is reversible, in fact one of the first chiller conversions to ORC was exactly that under the name of PureCycle. The wide array of phase-change dynamics allow us to use this closed-loop process to produce power, apply process intensification, material extraction (botanical, precious metal, recycling batteries), Electrostatic Precipitation (ESP), HVAC, cooling, and more.The unique characteristics of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) make it one of our favorites, since it goes supercritical at such a low temperature, which can take advantage of solar thermal, geothermal, and computer CPU low grade heat (cloud and Bitcoin).

Illusion Drone |
Illusion Drone Stealthy Technology The Illusion Drone is a new class of flying vehicle in the cloak-and-dagger and nuisance space. The best armament is no armament at all. With excellent visual stealth and low noise signatures, the Illusion Drone is designed to draw unfriendly attention, and redirect that to themselves. The cloak and dagger deployment is designed to confuse unfriendly actors.It can also drop RFIDs to allow the unfriendly to paint themselves. The modular design allows a host of enhancements, including night projection of images (including holograms) to deploy illusions, camoflage, directions, and even advertising. Pop and drop can prink and dispose of highly volatile lithium batteries into unfriendlies.The Illusion drone can be AI free flying or tethered for extended time aloft.Currently looking for NFT, licensees, and investors.This page will be updated shortly.

IT Micro Redstone Turbine with Counter-rotating Pump printed in 3D metal |
IT Micro Redstone 3D Metal Turbine with 2 inch Diameter Counter-rotating Pump The goal of the Redstone project was to incorporate all moving and rotating functions into one component. This is done by using a layered up rotating assembly, or 3D printed in metal or cast carbon fiber.Expander (turbine): CO2, ORC, Rankine Cycle, refrigerants, CO2, compressed air, waterCompressor (pump): water, CO2, air, refrigerantsShaft Free: Turbine assembly is the shaft (magnetic bearings or perimeter bearings).Cavitation Disc: Can be used for making fluids go supercritical (ex. CO2), or can be plugged with magnets to produce induction heating.History: The Redstone project was made into 3D printed metal (sintered) steel. What we found was that larger parts tended to lose tolerance as the parts grew in size, so the turbine was designed at 2 inches or less in diameter and turned to true for high speed rotational tolerance. The housing castings needed to be machined to tolerance on the inside and trued for surface mounting.Final Project: The project was printed by X-One when the larger housing tolerance problems were found. We received boxes of these castings, which were ultimately thrown away. A few surviving parts remain (which are solid metal and extremely heavy). There are a total of three parts, which reduces build time and has a huge time savings from standard metal machining. Ultimately, the best method we found (most cost effective and fast) was cutting basic parts with a waterjet, then layering up for 3D effect, and to achieve the internal chamber structure (complex counter-rotating screws).Plans and licensing available.

CO2 Cavitation Device Used for Pumping and Sonochemistry Experiments |
Make Rocket Fuel from CO2 Infinity has already built lots of closed-loop supercritical CO2 systems, and experimented with CO2 cavitation to make a one-moving-part liquid CO2 pump. Infinity currently sells a cart-mounted portable on-demand supercritical CO2 phase change system for $150,000 which can be used for the experiments listed below, along with many others. It is a cart which was designed to fit through any standard door, hallway, or elevator and has heaving duty casters for mobility.We are currently looking for funding to develop the following:1. On-Demand CO2 to Alcohol: Using our closed-loop liquid CO2 phase change system, adding Nafion in the process to make alcohol. Inputs: Liquid CO2, water, and electricity. About 3-4 kW to make a liter of alcohol (from lab experiments).2. CO2 to Alcohol with In-Situ Power Generation: Using our closed-loop supercritical CO2 phase change system, produce the power via miniature CO2 turbine generator of static electricity generator (SEG) to power the conversion via Nafion.3. Spin-To-Liquid (STL): A novel one-step approach to producing alcohol from liquid CO2 using a cavitation device with Nafion. This is a one-moving-part device employing sonochemistry with inputs of water and liquid CO2. Electricity is produced in-situ. Shaft rotation is required to spin the device (this can be done via a electric motor, pressure expanding turbine, or other shaft rotation such as a wind turbine).You can further our efforts by buying our $150,000 systems (which we build - and have four in stock) or by considering an investment to fund our development.Teaser: Why was Nikola Tesla so fascinated with static electricity and spinning discs ? Our guess is that he had already found the worlds best battery - water. The Tesla turbine (while a fascinating pump) was actually a static electricity generator originally designed to charge water. All of his Colorado Springs experiments revolved around static electricity. Power generation and (wireless) transportation was via static electricity.

Stranded Gas to Power, Heated Fluid, and Refrigeration using Capstone Turbine and other prime movers including waste heat turbine generators using organic rankine cycle |
Oil Producers: Use your stranded gas heat to generate power, hot water, and refrigeration Producing oil and flaring gas ? Need to use that heat for something for local or Federal regulations ? We may have the perfect solution.A. Solid State Power: Using Thermoelectric Devices (or Thermoelectric Generators TEG), we can convert heat into DC power. That is put through a inverter for 3-phase AC power which you can use directly. These energy harvesters take heat and make power, without any moving parts. Up to 12 percent efficiency and up to 800C heat available (higher temperatures = more cost).B. Hot Water: Using heat exchangers, convert flare gas or hot producer water to a liquid for use of heat, or cooling.C. Absorption Chillers: Absorption chillers are often exhaust fired using thermal energy recovered fromD. Zeolites: Zeolites give you the option of 24 hour liquid heating for cooking, water sterilization, or small amounts of hot water for heat. They can be recharged using the heat from your flare gas. The primary advantage of using Zeolites is the ability to have long term latent heat storage, which can be used any time of the day. Zeolites need to be stored in airtight and watertight containers. Zeolites can be recharged with the latent heat using any heat source between 130-250 E. Gas Turbine: The most efficient (up to 29 percent) use of your stranded gas is via a Capstone Turbine with power from 65 kW to 1,000 kW modules, that can be stacked together.F. Bitcoin Mining: The most interesting use of stranded gas to power is for Cryptocurrency mining.Please email or call us (TEL: 608-238-6001) for more information, consulting, or equipment costs.Email: Stranded Gas Solutions for Oil and Gas Producers |

Biomass Energy Waterwide Solid Fuel Gasifier Using Wood Wastes to Make Heat which can be used for direct fired drying and providing a high grade heat source for ORC biomass organic rankine cycle |
Waste Heat to Energy: List of selected waste heat to energy publications.Waste Heat to Energy is a renewable energy field which deploys technology to utilize industrial, commercial, and home based heat which would otherwise be unused, to make power. Since much of the quality of this heat is low, efficiency to capture and convert to power is also low. This makes the most sense (payback) where utility (grid-based) power rates are at or above $.15 per kwh. Waste Heat to Energy Publications

Infinity Turbine GTL Gas to Liquids Module for converting CO2 to fuels and plastics |
Infinity Turbine GTL Module Experimenters Platform to Make Rocket Fuel from CO2 Infinity is now offering an experimenters platform for those who wish to develop liquid or gas CO2 to plastics and alcohol fuels. Inputs: CO2, H20, DC electricity, and Nafion or other membrane catalysts.Our journey into CO2 to fuels started in 2004 along with John Stevens (investor) when we started Ocean Ethanol LLC. Back then we looked at using a Fischer Tropsch catalyst to convert CO2 and H2 into fuel grade ethanol and methanol. Hydrogen was problematic (too expensive to produce) so we looked at reversing a methanol fuel cell (electrolyzer). The project was shelved in 2005. But with renewed interest in the XPrize, we are now looking at adapting our developed Supercritical CO2 Systems to work with a reverse fuel cell (RFC) using Nafion.
