IC for Low Voltage and Self-Starting Thermoelectric Energy Harvesting

Technology Description Researchers at OSU have developed an integrated circuit that can cold start a DC-DC boost converter on a very small input voltage and combines a unique charge pump and very efficient DC-DC boost converter to maintain on-going operation at even lower input voltages. This IC is battery-free and can be made with conventional CMOS...

Microscale Corona Reactor

Technology Description This technology provides a new process that enables high efficiency conversion of methane (e.g., from associated natural gas, or from anaerobic digestion of waste biomass) to liquid transportation fuels in the gasoline (~C10) or Diesel (~C16) range. This conversion is accomplished by the energetically efficient condensation of...
