Quantum Dot Solutions production methods are based on a new state of matter discovered in late 70’s. Urgent use resides in water efficiency. The product range will likewise prove useful in the pre-processing and post-processing of all waste-to-energy conversion (resulting in greater efficiency in the creation of hydrogen fuel and enhanced bio-char), as well as acting as a remedial soil amendment (increased water efficiency); as such it will be essential to all future production of bio-waste syn-fuels derived from biomass. Pharmaceutical and cosmetic materials are currently under development.

Insuring that the governments of sovereign nations and major municipalities such as Melbourne will be able to cut back on water consumption exponentially, is at the heart our business strategy. We have the capability of, and are prepared to, make delivery of industrial quantities on a global scale. At present our simulation units can deliver upwards of 600 metric tons per month. Our goal is to deliver upwards of 600,000 metric tons per year.

Destined to revolutionise the Australian Brick Industry, it offers home owners, for the first time, a range of beautiful, natural, untreated, pastel shades and patterns of the Australian earth and bush never before captured in house bricks.

The new environmentally sensitive method of manufacture provides a super-efficient and ecologically friendly brick, and shatters the greenhouse gas levels of traditional brick production.

It is price-competitive with traditional bricks. At no price penalty, home owners will be able to build houses that are exceptionally attractive to the eye, and at the same time save money in heating and cooling costs perpetually. When the GeoBrick is used as inner walls (i.e. feature wall), a home can become 25-50% more energy efficient. This is created because of the high content of natural earth and its ability to hold & store (therefore suspend) room temperature for longer. Thus, a brick with superior thermal mass
 

 

 

Dyesol’s mission is to lead the industrialisation and commercialisation of Dye Solar Cell technology (DSC) by supplying the highest quality and most affordable solutions. Dyesol offers a holistic DSC solution comprising a wide range of products and services including materials, consulting, R&D, contracting, licensing, training, laboratory, prototyping and pilot equipment, and turnkey manufacturing facilities.

DSC is the emerging third generation solar technology that acts similarly to photosynthesis to harvest energy from light.

Engineair Pty Ltd, established on 9 September 2000, with the objective to perform research and development on an innovative air motor design, invented and first tried by Di Pietro in 1997. In the first 5 years the company focused on developing prototype models to test the concept and understand the performance characteristics. During this period additional prototypes were tested, showing improving performance, power to weight ratio and air consumption. The current development status shows performance and efficiency to be superior over state of the art air motor technology.
Based on these results the company is now entering commercialisation of its technology including securing a number of licensing agreements.

 

Neuro Systems International established as an Architectural practice in Australia in 2001 Neurosys (State of Mind Architecture) has conceived several urban development projects in China consisting of:

 

China is the largest consumer of coal in the world with the most concentrated sources of greenhouse gases and is planning to build up to 500 new coal fired power station to serve 400 new cities by 2030. 

 

 There is a global imperative to establish alternatives to China’s reliance on coal to generate electricity for cities.  Utilizing the world best practice in Environmental design, NeuroSystems has developed an energy supply principle to power zero emission and revenue instant architecture which can be scaled to satisfy energy requirements to tall towers-effectively transforming the building investment into a green energy power station.  China provides the world with the unique opportunity to employ World’s First technology, to build carbon neutral communities and forever abandon the depletion of natural resource by a fossil fuel industry.

 

Neurosystems is currently investigating wider applications in the urban master planning of two new cities in China.
 

 

 

 

Sunengy Pty. Limited was incorporated in 2005, and operates out of Sydney, Australia; and has developed Liquid Solar Array Technology (LSA). This has been patented in Australia, Canada, Singapore, South Africa, Russia and China; is currently being examined in USA and pending in 15 other countries.
LSA is a concentrated PV solar technology based on floating solar collectors made mostly of plastic. Each LSA has a very small area of silicon photovoltaic cells at the water surface with a large, thin plastic focusing lens rotating as it tracks the sun. The water provides passive cooling for the cells; forms part of the structure via anchoring and protects the lenses in high winds.

LSA has the potential to produce solar power at half the cost of conventional solar technology right now and under USD 70 cents per Watt in the short to medium term. The specific target of LSA solar power is price parity with fossil fuels and this will be achieved through industrial scale installations on hydropower dams.

The vision of Sunengy is to also install LSA modules on a smaller, regional scale to help empower marginalised communities who have no foreseeable access to affordable power.
