Improving the Ventilation of Motorcycle Helmets
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: 151NH1Use of motorcycles helmets significantly reduces the risk of fatality or serious brain injury to riders in the event of a crash, but riders often do not wear helmets in warm weather because of thermal discomfort. We propose to develop an innovative ventilation and cooling system that will maintain a cool, dry environment inside the helmet while also meeting applicable safety standards. The key inn ...

Low Cost Innovative Greener/Safer Process for Converting Cellulose to Glucose
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 81The current dependence of the United States on foreign oil has sparked enormous interest in the use of biofuels, specifically cellulosic biofuels. Cellulosic biofuels are a carbon neutral, renewable resource, and their use could drastically curtail total carbon dioxide emissions while also reducing U.S. dependence on foreign oil. Worldwide biomass energy resources are estimated at 2 x 1021 J per y ...

Emission-free, Low-maintenance and Low-energy Nitrate Water Remediation Using Microbial Fuel Cell Technology
SBC: Proton Energy Systems, Inc. Topic: 84Fertilizer is required for increasing crop productivity and gives farmers economic viability. However, the use of nitrogen-based fertilizers results in excess nitrate runoff in the ground water, and has the potential to cause significant health problems if consumed in large quantities. There is an increasing body of evidence that nitrate pollution of ground water is a large and growing problem aro ...

Nitinol Generator with 0.01-1 Wh/Day On Demand Output
SBC: Kellogg's Research Labs LLC Topic: 812This project is a subset of a larger project which has the goal of generating electricity from changes in atmospheric temperature through space and time. The near term goal is to provide a higly durable power source for agricultural sensors so that farmers will not have to change batteries or rely on brittle photovoltaic cells. Longer term applications include scaling the tecnology to power remote ...

High Efficiency Low Cost Electrochemical Ammonia Production
SBC: Proton Energy Systems, Inc. Topic: 84The Haber-Bosch process, one of the most impactful developments in human history, has provided enough fertilizer to the world that it is estimated nearly half of the nitrogen found in our bodies originated in a Haber-Bosch chemical plant. However, this technological marvel comes at a price. On U.S. farms, 29% of energy consumed (directly and indirectly) is in the form of fertilizers, and these sam ...

Methodology for Identification on High Value Biomass Feedstocks
SBC: ADVANCED FUEL RESEARCH, INC. Topic: N/AUp until the early twentieth century, several commodity chemicals were produced by the pyrolysis of hardwoods (e.g., methanol, acetic acid, acetone) or the extraction of softwoods (turpentine, terpenes, rosins, pitches, and tars). The expected long term increase in petroleum and natural gas prices will cause a gradual but steady return to biomass feedstocks over the next several decades. Other dri ...

Prototyping NUGGET: A Nutrient and Greenhouse Gas Evaluation Tool
SBC: APPLIED GEOSOLUTIONS LLC Topic: N/AFarmers, crop consultants, and regulators are constantly faced with management/policy decisions that require the integration of current crop and soil conditions, and current and future weather conditions. Farmers and crop consultants must make these management decisions within a regulatory environment that is becoming more restrictive and complex. Regulators are forced to make policy recommendatio ...

Enhanced Control of Fruit Ripening
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: N/AEthylene is a growth hormone for fruits and vegetables that is generated by the plants themselves; that is, it acts as a self-ripening agent. Hence, the removal of ethylene gas can play a central role in maintaining the freshness of these products. Whereas the temperature and the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide gases are also important system variables that demand a significant economic invest ...

Enhanced Performance of Agriculture Based Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluids
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: N/AA. Water must be removed from biodegradable hydraulic fluids as they react with water and degrade insitu. B. Biodegradable hydraulic fluids for farm equipment provide a significant improvement over traditional petroleum based fluids due to decreased pollution. Increase the use and value of biodegradable hydraulic fluids by development of a membrane-based dewatering system.

Agricultural Emissions Reduction Using Bio-Fuels with Membrane Supplied Nitrogen
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: N/AThe use of biodiesel offers significant advantages with regards to the reduction of total harmful engine emissions with the exception of NOx. Biodiesel is a renewable resource and soybean oil is known to be economically viable as a biodiesel fuel. Recent studies from the Environmental Protection Agency have shown that soybean oil alone or blended with #2 diesel fuel results in a significant decrea ...
