Steam Engine Revolution SER

246 years after 1st Steam Engine

Mission of SMARTii team

Create and Improve Technologies

Analyze and develop the improvements in the systems using TRIZ (www.smartii.net)

Change the World by solving the Biggest problems

Actual challenge

to Save the Coal Fired Power Plants – because the Coal reserves is enough more than 400 years

re-invent & Develop the Steam Engines

246 years after 1st

The Pain

Coal Fired Power Plants gives the 20% of the total CO2 Emissions

Low Efficiency of Steam Engines Steam-turbine: max=30%

Policy wants to limit the operation of Coal Fired Power Stations & 72GW will close in U.S.

The Steam Engine is a 246 years old technology, using almost unchanged

Conversion to Zero emission makes it uncompetitive the price of generated electricity


Stated objectives

Increase the Efficiency of Steam Engines

Increase profitability

Decrease the CO2 Emission of Steam Engines

Decrease the volume of used water

Easily applicable on working Power Plants


The Solution

SER technology

Efficiency increasable to ~50%

Coal consume decrease by 40%

ROI of SER technology less than 5years

Not need water to operation of turbine


Project Roadmap


1. Coal Fired Power Plants

2. Nuclear Power Plants

Trucks, Ships, Locomotives

3. Transportation

Applied research & Conception

8 months 4 months

Fundamental research

18 months

Prototype Development

SER licence

1st phase – Fundamental research

Activities:

• R&D - Research & Finalize the SER basic materials

• Prepare:

– Feasibility Study

– Business Plan

– Prototype Development Plan

• Timeframe: 4 months

246 years after 1st

Steam Engine

2nd phase - Applied research Proof-of-Concept project:

1. Make an experiment serial with a system which consist different engines

A) traditional steam engine | B) diesel motor | C) SER steam engine

2. connect them one by one to the same 50kW output electric power generator

3. Feed them same calorific value of fuel and

4. Measure the output values

• Timeframe: 8 months


3rd phase – Prototype Development

Plan and build a prototype of 1st SER technology installed 1MW capacity steam engine.

Test & measure in workshop

Validate the measure & data with independent accredited company like TÜV, SGS.

Test & measure in real service environment, e.g. connect to a local micro grid to supply a small village with electricity.

Project output: Market ready prototype & tested technology

Timeframe: 18 months


Demonstration

Market driven demonstration project:

– Reconstruct a traditional Coal Fired Power Plant or

– Supply a Truck with SER engine or

– Supply a Locomotive with SER engine or

– Supply a Ship with SER engine or …


Applications scope – Target users

What will happen if the SER technology proven works?

It will be start the Revolution of Steam Engines:

Revolution of Coal Fired Power Plants ~6.000

Revolution of Nuclear Power Plants – few 100

Revolution of Steam Locomotives ~10.000

Revolution of Steam Ships


Value proposition

Coal Fired Power Plant with installed SER:

The output power will double or

The used coal will decrease 40%

Water consumption decrease down to 50%

Profitability rise up from ~10% to ~30%

Installation cost of SER technology will return 5 years


Business for Investor

1. Investment: 3.600.000€

result: SER, an outstanding & profitable technology for users

2. Potential clients: ~6.000 coal fired power plants

3. Income: sale licenses


U.S. coal plants income in 2008


II. Technical Section

Technical Section of SER Presentation


How we can prove & demonstrate the SER simply?

1. How does work a Steam Engine? The steam pressure increasing/working in a closed, heated space.

2. Compare, what happens with the water or SER materials in same closed space!

3. We fill a 24 liters cylinder 1st water, 2nd SER materials, and heat up to 553°K (=280°C)

4. The measured pressure in the cylinder:

Psteam= 45bar vs. PSER= 120bar

Compare the Carnot Workfields


We pre-calculated that, SER Carnot working field size would be double than traditional steam engine.
