Static Electricity Using CO2 With No Moving Parts
Since 2008 Infinity Turbine has been experimenting with all forms of waste heat to power generation. All modern day expanders have moving parts, which necessitates bearings and complicated seal technology and maintenance. The holy grail of energy production is no moving parts (solid state). To that end, after 10 years of trying to reduce a rotating expander to one part (successfully done), we finally achieved the ultimate waste heat to power device, the solid state turbine generator. This is done using CO2 which goes supercritical (phase change from liquid to high pressure vapor) at 88F or 31C.

Carbon Dioxide Unique Properties:
CO2 is unique in that it goes supercritical (liquid to gas phase) at 31 C (88 F). Typical steam plants require 212 F and higher to generate steam to spin a turbine and generator to make power. Sandia Labs has experimented with CO2 and has identified it as the future working fluid of power plants, from it’s unique power density that results in smaller footprint power generation equipment. Using the Brayton Cycle, the CO2 gas is heated, and expanded over a turbine to spin a generator to make power. |
TriboGen:
Infinity has developed a process to use the power dense CO2 in a closed-loop Supercritical Rankine Cycle, to produce DC electricity. |
Power That’s Scalable:
What’s unique about the Triboelectric effect that Infinity is developing, is that it can be used in a small nano or micro-channel application to generate IC chip power, or in a larger assembly to power a smartphone, house, or numbered up to distributed power generation. |
