Electric Ship Electric Ship is working with Infinity Turbine to develop a Salt Flow Battery that can be used on land and on the water. A saltwater foam will be a new membrane technology which saves weight for mobile (land and flight) applications.Here are some recent developments:Redox Flow Battery Technology: With the advent of the new USA tax credits for producing and selling batteries ($35/kW) we are focussing on a simple flow battery using shipping containers as the modular electrolyte storage units with tax credits up to $140,000 per system. Our main focus is on the salt battery. This battery can be used for both thermal and electrical storage applications. We call it the Cogeneration Battery or Cogen Battery. One project is converting salt (brine) based water conditioners to simultaneously produce power. In addition, there are many opportunities to extract Lithium from brine (salt lakes, groundwater, and producer water). Using our Lithium dredge processor based on the Electric Ship, on-demand Lithium processing will be available soon.Salt water and brine are huge sources for lithium. Most of the worlds lithium is acquired from a brine source. It's even in seawater in a low concentration. Brine is also a byproduct of huge powerplants, which can now use that as an electrolyte and a huge flow battery (which allows storage at the source).We welcome any business and equipment inquiries.

HDPE Boat HDPE high density polyethylene thermoplastic used for boat building and has become a new trend. Known for its high strength-to-density ratio, the density of HDPE can range from 930 to 970 kg m3. Being lighter than water has an enormous advantage in the marine field. The HDPE is resistant to many solvents making it a perfect choice for the boat building industry. |
Modular Containerized Power and Thermal Storage Solution |
Cogeneration Battery Considered a hybrid between a standard flow battery and a thermal storage device, the battery provides simultaneous heat or cold liquid storage as well as electrical energy storage.The Cogen Battery has a variety of applications which include:-storage of thermal energy (heating or cooling) from unused thermal resources-storage of electrical power for backup power and grid strength-utility grid power rate mining opportunities to store off-peak low cost power for later use during demand (on-peak) hours-storage of thermal energy for Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power production while simultaneously storing the electrical output from the turbine generator-using off-peak low cost power to make heating and cooling for later use-reducing peak demand utility rates by peak energy shaving Cogeneration Salt Battery System |

Simultaneous brine treatment and energy storage with lithium mining bonus |
What is Brine What is brine?In general, brine is any solution with an extremely high concentration of salts, such as sodium chloride, which can occur either naturally (as with seawater, deep-water ocean pools, salt lakes, producer water from oil and gas drilling) or as a byproduct of industry. These byproducts, or brine waste streams, are typically highly concentrated salt solutions that, in some cases, contain more than twice the amount of concentrated salts than natural brine solutions.Brine waste streams can also be highly concentrated with total dissolved solids (TDS), such as waste streams in many chemical manufacturing processes, and they can be some of the most challenging to treat or discharge because their composition and purification requirements are dynamic and complex.Some examples of brine waste created as a byproduct of industry include:-cooling tower and boiler effluent-reverse osmosis (RO) and ion exchange waste/reject streams-produced water from extracting oil and natural gaschlor-alkali and chemical plant waste-acid rock and mine drainage-food preservation and manufacturing waste streams-desalination waste from potable water creationirrigation runoffOur novel solution is treating this solution considered and expensive headache, into a battery technology system.Elon Musk and Tesla even think that recovery of lithium from brine is worth patenting. However, they are not the first to do so.

About The electric ship project has been a few years in the making. The basic vessel design has morphed over the past few years and is now becoming a more stable design and mission. The Electricship website originally started off as a project to develop a comprehensive renewable, affordable, modular electric ship. In my travels, I have met many inspiring people, who encouraged my passion for inventing, and thus led to my developing alternative energy systems and concepts.I’m a fan of Nikola Tesla, and a innovator in the world of alternative energy, CO2 mitigation, travel reviews (for fun), a commercial pilot, a sailor, and an expert in Filemaker database development. My motto is never stop exploring, and always keep learning. The journey is the destination.I am developing and designing a eco-electric-ship (multihull) which is fully sustainable for tourism, travel, or small commercial freight/trade, to travel the globe. The modular platform will be able to host a range of missions. Based on the book and community Gaviotas: A Village to Reinvent the World, I hope to evangelize solar technologies, and sustainable tourism, with zero environmental impact (actually will enhance the environment) around the world.

Can a Heat Pump propulsion system extend battery range by 50 percent or more ? We have been working on a new type of closed-loop CO2 heat pump system which may extend the range of batteries.This would apply to electric cars, electric trucks, industrial contruction equipment, and battery powered aircraft (drones, RC, and passenger aircraft). The concept of the heat pump is to amplify and use heat from both electricity and the environment. An efficient heat pump can have a COP (coefficient of performance) of 2 or more. That means for every 1 kW of electrical input, you get 2 kW of thermal output (cooling or heating). For a typical heat resistor at 100 percent efficiency, you would get a COP of 1. The concept is to use a high energy dense working fluid like CO2 and leverage the lower boiling temperature (where it goes supercritical around 31.1C or 87.9 F) into a increased pressurized vapor.There are a wide range of energy possibilities, including using the skin of the vehicle for collecting or dissipating thermal energy. Of particular interest is aviation applications where the upper atmosphere is always a big cold sink (condenser).In the construction industry, this could easily be applied to vehicles with hydrostatic (hydraulic) drives for stationary (conveyers) or mobile (earth moving equipment) applications.Currently looking for investors to develop this concept more, so we can approach Tesla and other large battery powered (range anxiety) applications.@Tesla @elonmusk Reversible Heat Pump–Organic Rankine Cycle Systems for the Storage of Renewable Electricity (pdf)Understanding COP: Coefficient Of Performance Of Heat Pumps Heat Pumps the Next Big Thing in Electric Vehicles

MS Burgenstock hybrid catamaran Lake Lucerne Switzerland |
Electric Ship Website Launch Electric Ship is a project to redefine shipping by using a modular build concept, with multiple missions, using renewable energy.The initial goals are to find an investor to build the first prototypes. The business model is a solar powered electric powered multihull yacht for Swiss and Italian lakes, which have a dual purpose of AirBNB. A minimal crew will operate the yachts, starting at Lac Léman (Lake Geneva) in Switzerland which offers more than 40 km of Swiss and French culture, including the Swiss Riviera. Updated: Unfortunately, Swiss maritime law does not allow overnight sleeping on a vessel.

The ORC Cycle is Reversible in Heat Pump Applications |
Heat Pump ORC Infinity has build more than one hundred phase change systems including CO2, R245fa, and other refrigerants.The ORC process is reversible, in fact one of the first chiller conversions to ORC was exactly that under the name of PureCycle. The wide array of phase-change dynamics allow us to use this closed-loop process to produce power, apply process intensification, material extraction (botanical, precious metal, recycling batteries), Electrostatic Precipitation (ESP), HVAC, cooling, and more.The unique characteristics of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) make it one of our favorites, since it goes supercritical at such a low temperature, which can take advantage of solar thermal, geothermal, and computer CPU low grade heat (cloud and Bitcoin).
