A typical simulation box consiste of the polyelectrolyte chain with a degree of polymerization 20, 20 cations (Li+, Na+, Ca2 or Mg2+), a balanced charge of chloride ions (1:1 ratio for the monovalent ions and 1:2 fo the divalent ions), and 500 molecules of water.

The MSD indicates the average separation kCal/mol, respectively, as presented in Figure 3. of all particles from their corresponding initial positions at time t into the motion. The greater the MSD value, the higher the diffusivity of the ions within the system. The MSD at time t in a given ensemble is expressed by the Equation: 1N2 MSD = N ∑i=1|xi(t) − xi(0)| (1) where N represents the number of particles to be averaged, and xi(0) and xi(t) are the initial positions of the i ion and the position of the ion at time t, respectively. d r - - e - - = e d e t d e r d - r e 0

Product and Development Focus for Infinity Turbine

ORC Waste Heat Turbine and ORC System Build Plans: All turbine plans are $10,000 each. This allows you to build a system and then consider licensing for production after you have completed and tested a unit.

Redox Flow Battery Technology: With the advent of the new USA tax credits for producing and selling batteries ($35/kW) we are focussing on a simple flow battery using shipping containers as the modular electrolyte storage units with tax credits up to $140,000 per system.

Our main focus is on the salt battery. This battery can be used for both thermal and electrical storage applications.

We call it the Cogeneration Battery or Cogen Battery.

One project is converting salt (brine) based water conditioners to simultaneously produce power.

In addition, there are many opportunities to extract Lithium from brine (salt lakes, groundwater, and producer water).

Salt water or brine are huge sources for lithium. Most of the worlds lithium is acquired from a brine source. It's even in seawater in a low concentration. Brine is also a byproduct of huge powerplants, which can now use that as an electrolyte and a huge flow battery (which allows storage at the source).

We welcome any business and equipment inquiries, as well as licensing our turbines for manufacturing.
