This invention relates to tubular fixed bed reactors (TFBRs), specifically to a reactor internal component designed to improve heat transfer performance during exothermic catalytic processes such as Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis (FTS). The technology includes (i) a reactor internal component for a fixed

This invention relates to a small-scale, ecologically friendly energy conversion system that generates electricity from ambient thermal energy. The system captures and stores heat from various natural and man-made sources, including sunlight, vehicle exhausts, power plants, industrial processes, 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 technology relates to a system that harvests thermal energy from various sources (e.g., sunlight, cars, power plants, factories, and other industries) and converts it to electricity. In this system, heat energy is harvested and then stored in a storage tank, using water as an energy storage

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

Almost one million South Africans who are Deaf use South African Sign Language (SASL) as their primary means of communication, as many are unable to speak, read, or lip-read in any of the eleven official spoken or written languages. This diverse, multi-ethnic community is largely excluded from

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

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

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

The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), in collaboration with its partners, has successfully developed an advanced biomanufacturing process for producing Recombinant Human Insulin. The technology involves microbial fermentation and purification of bulk drug substance, ensuring
