I am a physics engineer by background and I came here
looking for opportunities to work in the field of physics engineering, energy
etc. Rene contacted me and said they wanted to see if there are different ways
of producing electricity, so for me it was a perfect opportunity.
We already know about solar and wind turbines. The challenge
we have set ourselves is to find other ways to produce electricity while
preventing pollution.
I started with building a machine that is able to recycle
dead lead acid batteries. I use two batteries, one of which is dead, the other
one running well. The good one powers a motor which changes it into high peak
voltage which is sent to the second battery in short bursts. The high peak voltage
cleans the plates inside this battery by detaching and recombining the
molecules. In this way, the lifetime of lead acid batteries can be greatly
extended.
The second experiment I have been involved in is running a
generator on waste cooking oil...
