solar energy farms, as seawater is an abundant, low-cost, and environmentally friendly material. Experimental Section Na metal and seawater were purchased from Aldrich and used as the anode and cathode materials, respectively. The hard carbon negative electrode (3.2 mg) was fabricated from an 80:10:10 (wt%) mixture of hard carbon (MeadWestvaco Corp.), Super-P conductive carbon black (TIMCAL) as the current conductor, and polyvinylidene fluoride (Aldrich) as the binder. For the hybrid multi-layer electrolyte, 1 M NaClO4 in ethylene carbonate/diethyl carbonate (1:1 volume ratio) was used as the non-aqueous liquid electrolyte and a NASICON-type Na3Zr2Si2PO12 ceramic plate was used as the solid electrolyte. Na3Zr2Si2PO12 was prepared by a solid-state reaction method. Powder Na3PO4ยท12H2O, SiO2 and ZrO2 were mixed and then calcined at 400 and 1100oC. After being mixed and calcined again, the power was pressed into a pellet, which was sintered at 1230oC. The ion concentration of the seawater was determined by using inductively coupled plasma spectrometry (ICP, Atomscan 25, Optima 4300DV). Impedance spectroscopy experiments were carried out using a Solartron 1470E. For the impedance measurements, a Pt/NASICON/Pt cell was made by Pt sputtering. Carbon paper (Fuel Cell Store, Inc.) was placed in the seawater positive electrode as a current collector. The assembled cell was exposed to seawater and connected to a testing station. A battery cell tester (WBCS3000; Wonatech) was used to conduct charge and discharge tests at various current densities. Acknowledgements 9PDF Image | Rechargeable Seawater Battery

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.
