1.1.3 Lubricating oils Lithium is used in oils as a cation within the structure of the surfactants. Lithium containing oils have lower freezing points, improved viscosity, surface tension and water compatibility [9]. 1.1.4 Ventilation systems and air conditions The concentrated aqueous solution of lithium bromide has low vapor pressure so that it can be used in the air conditioning systems. Lithium bromide solutions can be replaced with chloroflorocarbon which is a harmful compound to the environment [10]. 1.1.5 Metallurgical use Lithium forms alloys with numerous metals. Lead and aluminum alloys are the most important ones. Lead alloys are used for bearings of railroad cars. Aluminum alloys have been used in structural components of aircraft since 1957. Low weight and high stability make the aluminum-lithium alloys unique for aircraft manufacturers [11]. 1.1.6 Organometallic compounds The production of organometallic compounds is one of the major usage areas of lithium metal such as n-butyl lithium [12]. These compounds are formed by the reaction of dispersions of lithium metal with organic halogens. N-butyllithium is also used as an initiator in polymer synthesis [13] and widely used in agriculture and pharmaceutical chemical synthesis [14]. 1.1.7 Nuclear reactors Lithium-6 is used as a source material in production of tritium which is a fuel in fusion reactors [15]. Also it is utilized as an absorbent material for neutrons [16]. Besides, the low density, high heat capacity and high latent heat of evaporation makes lithium one of the best cooling materials in nuclear reactors [17]. As the 3

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.
