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

The invention relates to an energy-generating system that uses polyethylene plastics (which would normally cause environmental pollution) to produce synthesis gas (syngas). Unlike conventional gasification processes that rely on oxygen, this system ensures that the gasification of polyethylene to

The technology uses a clear polymer film embedded with luminescent compounds that absorb high-energy UV light and re-emit it as blue light, which solar cells can convert more efficiently into electricity. This film works with all types of solar panels and can be applied to existing installations

The inverse Class-F power amplifier (PA) comprises an appropriately biased GaN active device, input matching network, and output wave-shaping and matching network. The novel design of the wave-shaping and output matching network ensures minimal overlap of the drain voltage and current waveforms, and

The Solar Tracker has been developed at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. It is an efficient mechanism for positioning a solar collector to track the sun. This device is adept to intermittent adjustment of the position of a solar energy collection surface, ensuring that the surface
