In addition to the Boiler, steam engine and PersonalPowerPlant™ system, we fully expect to have many new products and innovative applications introduced soon. Both by AEW and those who partner with us, expanding on our products and technology. One of the key elements of growth in markets and applications is an aggressive R&D program. There are new applications brought to our attention almost daily. All of these markets and applications utilize the PersonalPowerPlant™, making it the center of a fully integrated system. Here are a few we are currently working on.
Aquaponics
The PersonalPowerPlant™ can be used as a central component to an aquaponic system. This is the symbiotic cultivation of plants and aquatic animals in a recirculating environment. An example of this would be a large underground tank stocked with tilapia to be marketed to upscale restaurants, and a greenhouse growing quality, high BRIX herbs and vegetables, to be marketed to those same upscale restaurants, built over the top. The fish waste byproduct, full of plant nutrients, is circulated up to the plants through a hydroponic system. The plants utilize the resources in the waste filed water and remove all the things toxic to fish life. It flows back into the tank as clean, purified water for the fish to use. The PersonalPowerPlant™ can heat both environments year round, and provide electricity for lighting and water pumps, selling excess electricity back into the grid. One of the byproducts of the PersonalPowerPlant™ is carbon dioxide, which can accelerate plant growth substantially.
Agri-electric Farms
The PersonalPowerPlant™ is perfect for scaleable electric generation using a duplicable, multi power plant system. Utilizing waste stream or sustainably grown biomass to produce green power that can be sold back into the grid, also generating salable carbon credits.
Landfill Reduction And Municipal Waste Management.
We are currently designing programs for local municipalities to eliminate the need for expensive management of bio waste streams. A small to midsize city can produce over 60,000 tons of bio waste each year. That city will spend millions to manage, pile and get rid of that waste. Landfils are refusing to take the waste and the problem of what to do with the waste is becoming a serious issue that often leads to fines from the EPA and increased costs to city government, and of course to city tax payers.
We are developeng programs that utilize the PersonalPowerPlant™ to convert the waste stream biomass into useable energy. Eliminating most of the costs for waste management and producing clean heat and power for municiple buildings.
Bio-Diesel
The emerging market of bio-diesel extracted and refined from algae is a great fit for the PersonalPowerPlant™. Algae provides many times more oil than soy beans by volume. The PersonalPowerPlant™ can power the cultivation of the algae, as well as power the refinement process for bio-diesel for your car or truck. The PersonalPowerPlant™ will utilize the remaining biomass from the process, the left over algae, for it's own fuel.
Cooling and Refrigeration
Right now the PersonalPowerPlant™ can heat your home and hot water. Soon AEW will have an optional home cooling and refrigeration system available. This is especially exciting for those people who have little infrastructure available to them. The ability to cool their families and even more importantly, refrigerate food will result in reducing sickness, disease and food spoilage, while increasing quality of life for many.
