The invention relates to a smart electronic controller designed to optimise household energy efficiency. It employs a microprocessor and sensor-based control system that permits selective management of electricity consumption across different household load lines. The system allows both manual and...

The invention is a self-aligning rooftop wind turbine designed to generate electricity efficiently for households. Unlike traditional large-scale wind turbines that require expansive open spaces and costly transmission infrastructure, this small turbine can be installed on rooftops. It features a...

The invention involves a sol-gel-based uniform carbon-coating process designed to create high-performance lithium-ion batteries. This process uses carbon nanotubes and an improved carbon-coating method that incorporates organic phosphoric acid as both a carbon and phosphorus source. This allows for...

This invention presents a closed-circuit solar thermal energy recirculation and conversion system designed to optimise solar heat absorption and transform it into usable electrical energy using Peltier cells. Unlike traditional solar thermal or photovoltaic systems, this hybrid solution merges solar...

MagneGen™ is a breakthrough low-cost energy generation system that converts thermal energy into electrical energy using the magnetic relaxation effect in repurposed magnetron magnets—commonly sourced from discarded microwave ovens and other household appliances. The system harnesses the unique...

ThermoVolt™ is an innovative renewable energy system that harnesses thermal energy and converts it into electricity using Peltier cells based on the Peltier effect — a thermoelectric phenomenon where a temperature difference across two dissimilar materials generates an electric voltage. This system...

This invention presents a plug-and-play energy management system designed for South African households, integrating Internet of Things (IoT) controls, opto-isolation, and delayed switching technology. It enables automated, safe, and intelligent switching between grid power and local renewable energy...
