Greentech Lead U.S: New Energy Technologies, a developer
of next generation alternative and renewable energy technologies, announced it
has achieved its 2012 build-out patent portfolio for generating clean
sustainable electricity.
A total of 56 United States and International patent
filings now cover important systems, methods, materials, and uses related to
the generation of clean electricity using the Company’s first-of-their-kind
technologies, MotionPower and SolarWindow.
New Energy’s SolarWindow, currently under development, is
a see-through coating, capable of generating electricity on glass windows and
on flexible plastics. MotionPower harvests the kinetic energy of moving
vehicles when they slow down, and uses this energy to produce electricity. Both
technologies have been successfully prototyped and featured at public
demonstrations, and by numerous media outlets and publications.
Scientists envision SolarWindow not only powering the
estimated 85 million homes and commercial buildings in America, but
additionally have identified products where the electricity generated on glass
and plastic surfaces could be used for various point-of-use applications. Such
applications would allow for the electricity generated on SolarWindow to be
used directly on the glass surface or at points nearby, eliminating the need to
transport the electricity to a building’s central power supply through its
wiring systems.
