NanoThermX™ introduces a novel method for producing high-performance nanofluids through an irradiation-assisted synthesis process that combines a base fluid with a selected precursor. This innovative approach improves the stability, dispersion, and uniformity of nanoparticles within the fluid

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 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

This technology comprises of a mixture of bacteria and yeast that inhibit the growth of grey rot, powdery mildew, and downy mildew, with different modes of action and grow optimally under different environmental conditions, which may offer a higher level of efficacy in field conditions compared to

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

The skin represents the first physical barrier to protect our bodies from harmful toxins, pathogens and dangerous environmental factors and plays an important role in social and visual experiences. South Africans have used traditional herbal medicinal products to increase immunity in

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
