Energy Devices
Due to the higher efficiency and energy/power density provided via superconducting technology, Infinity Physics focuses on the advancement of superconductivity across multiple platforms.
Superconducting NMR
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a physical phenomenon in which nuclei in a magnetic field absorb and re-emit electromagnetic radiation. NMR is used in a number of industries and currently relies on conventional sources for creating the magnetic field. Replacing the source of the magnetic field with a superconducting element will provide measurable benefits and opportunities for many applications. Learn more about why Infinity Physics is developing superconducting NMR technology.
Wind Turbines
With the capacity of engaging a dense source of energy compared to solar and having a wide range of installation locations compared to hydro, wind is a popular form of renewable energy generation. Particularly in the most common type of wind energy generators, wind turbines typically require the generator to be located high above the ground along the axis of blade revolution. The mass of the generator can be a limiting factor in wind turbine design and output. The use of SCs instead of conventional electromagnets or permanent magnets improves the energy density of the generator. More power can be generated by the same amount of mass supported above the ground. Learn more about this and other benefits that continue to motivate Infinity Physics to bring superconductivity and new designs into the commercial wind turbine market.
Motor/Generator
An electric motor is a device that converts the flow of electricity into mechanical motion. An electric generator is a device that does precisely the opposite: it converts mechanical motion into the flow of electricity. In the most basic form, the same device can be operated bidirectionally. The motor/generator device consists of two or more systems of magnetic fields that interact with one another. The force applied from one field to another causes relative motion between electrons in a conductor and mass on a bearing. The magnetic fields involved can be from any source including permanent magnets and electromagnets. These devices are used throughout the modern world and in increasingly demanding applications. Infinity Physics is developing technology to allow an increasing number of these applications access to benefits of increased motor/generator energy density by using SCs to create more efficient and dense magnetic fields. Particularly supported by the ability to manufacture reliable devices with high temperature SCs, here are a few of the applications affected by such advances: electric cars would have greater range, battery powered passenger jets will enter service, wind turbines will become a leading terrestrial source of electricity. There have been a number of attempts to create a commercial SC motor/generator. Chances are you have never seen one. Here is the approach we believe will be the catalyst.
Kinetic Energy Power Supply (KEPS™)
Indifferent of rural or urban location, energy often has a significant impact on enhancement of environmental and economic vitality. There are many reasons for converting otherwise unused or even undesirable kinetic energy to active or stored power. Applications can be found in many small to micro locations ranging from air, land, and sea moving vehicles or personnel to stationary emplacements.
A kinetic energy power supply (KEPS™) focuses on eco-friendly sustainable energy and development of such systems by allowing affordable energy independence in both a static or mobile emplacement depending on need without the requirement of a stationary reference support for power output. Complete mobile energy independence allows an individual or team to thrive isolated from the utility grid while providing power for basic needs, safety, and security whether during normal or atypical times. Partial energy independence still provides enormous economic savings and security. Mobility provides many advantages as well where flexibility to change or disaster evasion or inability to use a pure static emplacement due to proximity limitations is required. KEPS also readily accepts wind and solar renewable energy generation. The final system allows a single operational KEPS™ unit or a matrix of multiple KEPS™ units working in tandem and electrically interconnected to turn any kinetic energy form into an efficient power dense output used immediately or stored for future use. Types of KEPS™ are as varied as the applications but can be constructed using common elements.
Current Sensor (RSIS™)
Existing battery management solutions rely on the ability to sense the amount of current flowing from the battery into the application’s electrical system. Low-ohmic shunts (sense resistors) are the ideal solution for sensing battery current. However, the low-ohmic shunt must be a precision resistor with respect to its stability, temperature coefficient-value, and, in particular, its low thermal EMF vs. copper. Infinity Physics RSIS™ design is undergoing optimization for manufacturing.
