Oxford Flow转发了
Off at #CWAGORA : Some more of the tech, innovation & people I have come across here. Gecko Robotics with Cantilever, "the world's first operating platform powered by artificial intelligence and robotics (AIR) technology ... the robot 'climbs' metal structures and scans via ultrasonic sensors ... with Alison McGee Oxford Flow, reimagining valve technology ... with their "stemless electro-hydraulically actuated ES valve which eliminates fugitive emissions leaks." ... with Chris Kennell Terra Watts is a startup that's developing long-range wireless power & data transmission using Earth as a propagation medium ... presented by Kaitlyn A. Suarez ... They are ".enabling wireless power transmission at the kilometer scale. This technology allows for the direct operation of electrical devices via a receiver—no batteries required." Airloom Energy, with their fascinating next-generation wind turbine design ... with some "roll-coaster" inspired tech ... uses low-cost, mass manufacturable components ... With Neal Rickner VEIR, replacing the traditional copper busbars used for Datacenters with their VEIR "Superconductor" 4kA Cable ... with "5-10x Capacity in the same amount of space". Photo from Kevin Dunn's session. Cheesecake Energy Ltd, with their "eTanker?energy storage system is a stationary, medium to long-duration energy storage solution ... stores energy in the form of heat and pressurized air, re-tasking ex-service truck engines to become zero-emission electrical power-conversion machines for putting energy into storage and recovering it from storage." ... with Michael Simpson I met with Mert Akin, Ph.D. ??from EELI Technology, electrifying the extraction of #Lithium ... develops chemical-free lithium extraction & purification solutions ... leveraging breakthroughs in electrochemistry & material science tech ... Benjamin Weiner from ARPA-E deliver a faciniating session on "#Quantum Computing for Energy Innovation". Providing a great overview on the current state of the technology, on the opportunity Quantum will bring for certain use cases, but also a great dose of realism that while quantum will do amazing things, we will still need the 'classical' computers to do a lot of the usual compute we need in workflows. Also the fact that for some algorithms, you will need 1000's of qubits ... ?? And Zachary Berquist from ARPA-E presenting on "From Fission to Fuels : Advancing industry with advanced reactors" ... on how #SMR's could also deliver high temperature heat ... and when combined with new chemical reactors, it's an opportunity to rethink/redesign refineries. Thanks to everyone for all the presentations & explanations ?? #Energy #Technology ... CERAWeek, S&P Global
