Arizona Arizona contains one Project Site: Big Sandy Lithium. The Project Site is located in the Big Sandy River Valley in Mohave County, Arizona, about midway between Phoenix and Las Vegas in western Arizona (Figure 4). It is proposed by Hawkstone Mining Ltd. to be an open pit mine. The clay minerals targeted at the Project Site are Figure 4.

The operation proposes to use sulfuric acid to leach the lithium from the ore at a processing area near Kingman, Arizona potentially resulting in impacts to other locations. This Project Site contains BLM (Bureau of Land Management) Solar Energy Program lands, an Existing Conservation and Mitigation Bank, a Scenic Highway, and a Visual Resource. The Project Site includes mapped wetlands and habitat connectivity, critical habitat for sensitive species, and Desert Tortoise and Golden Eagle habitat. It also includes lands denoted for their high conservation value by The Nature Conservancy (TNC), and lands contained within TNC’s Resilient and Connected Network (RCN). At least 198 species have been recorded at the Project Site, including one special status species which is considered Near Threatened by the IUCN, the Olive-sided Flycatcher (Contopus cooperi) (Figure 5). There are also springs present in the region, including Cofer Hot Spring, which includes substantial riparian and © TNC Figure 5.

Groundwater extraction resulting from the proposed mine, including dewatering, pumping for mine domestic and dust control use, and for processing (the ore will be mixed with water and piped as a slurry away from the area for processing), could impact features such as Cofer Hot Springs and the plant and animal life that use those resources.

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.
