Trade Show Technology Highlights

This is just a partial list of the types of technology, solutions, expertise and services you'll find at the GLOBE 2010 trade Show!

Energy

Electrochemical Reactor Cell - batteries that store effective energy in liquid, creating an almost unlimited battery lifetime and super-stable load supply
3rd Generation "Printable" solar cells
Propeller-type immersable water turbine for streams, rivers and tidal flows
Sinusoidal Voltage - energy management products that deliver the optimal voltage load for electric equipment thereby dramatically increasing efficiency
Magnesium, oxygen and saltwater-based fuel cell

Buildings and Construction

Aluminum mounting brackets and plates for non-permanent wood construction; easy de-construction and re-purposing of materials
Low-energy but highly effective ventilation systems for buildings and homes (known as Breathing Buildings)
Far Infrared Radiators: heating AND cooling using the interaction of Far Infrared rays generated from a central radiator that interact with infrared-active painted walls and ceilings. No furnaces, no ducting, no forced air.
Wireless pneumatic thermostats
Large-format Vegetation Blankets for easy installation of green roofs, terraces and embankments
Wireless building automation systems based on "Swarm Logic"
Residential-level solar hot water heaters
LED screw-in light bulbs, 'fluorescent type' tubes, spot lights, flood lights
LEED-compliant electrical conduit made from recycled material and using halogen-free flame retardant

Water

Atmospheric Water Generation for countertops, residential & offices, and commercial applications
De-salination technology using a Thermo-Ionic process: energy derived from the evaporation of saltwater using basic solar thermal energy. Mainly suited for arid/low humidity conditions such as desertous regions.
Eco-Osmosis water filtration processes that saves up to 80% of total water usage
Radar-based fluid level monitoring devices for wells, tanks and pipelines

Cleantech

Nanotechnology cleaning systems that are VOC-free, efficient and ecological
Zircon and bitumen recovery from oilsand tailings
LED streetlamps, parking lights, commercial lighting
Magnetic aquarium cleaning unit that works without draining tanks
Artificial Ice Surfaces: ice technology used in the "Red Bull Crashed Ice" extreme sports
Shipping skids, crates and pallets made from 'simulated timber'; a wood-like product comprised of plant-based starches, fibres and binding agents. Eliminates wood and plastics from landfill and recycling chains.
Automated, wireless and immediate/real-time spill containment response technology (for wells, pipelines, underground tanks)
Tree root protective structural cells made of recycled materials for street/sidewalk planted trees
Mobile thermal desorption technology for removing hydrocarbons from soil
Personal-use, cell phone sized air pollution and ozone detectors

Services

Private Mutual Fund Trust that exclusively invests in 'green real estate infrastructure'
High resolution mass Spectronomy for detection of PCBs, Dioxins and TBTs (Tributyltin - compounds used in the preservation treatment of wood)
Greenhouse Gas Accounting software that integrates directly with corporate ERP systems
"Waste - to - Use" technology: using a waste by-product from the wood pulping process to neutralize contaminated water from acidic rock drainage
Multi-technology 'demonstration' exhibits
Science Parks and Technology Centres representing multiple companies involved in technology, science and R&D

Waste Management

Bio-Reactor Thermal Hydrolysis: converts livestock and agricultural wastes into safe, high-quality fuels and feeds
Magnetic Density Separation technology for recycling, waste management and industrial applications
Nano-particulate bio-reactor technology for waste water treatment and recycling
Bio-based and biodegradable plastics for food packaging, temporary plant potting or single-use service items
Off-grid, self-contained sewage treatment processes that generate in drinkable-quality water
Ozone Sterilization technologies: converts oxygen into ozone, uses the ozone for sterilization and then reconverts the ozone back into oxygen resulting in no 'waste' emissions
Industrial composting technology using microorganisms and mechanical treatment to break down organic wastes into a liquid that simply goes down the drain
Hydroxyl Generator - eliminates huge amounts of odours, pathogens and airborne toxins
Electro-chemical activated brine/fresh water solutions for sanitization without any toxic chemicals
Watercraft designed to collect and remove liquid and solid wastes from water surfaces

Transportation

Bio-based fuels, fuel additives, conditioners and lubricants
Immobilized Enzyme-based transBiodiesel
Oil-free Compressed Natural Gas engines for fleet or passenger vehicles
All electric "Cargoscooters" designed for delivery-intensive service companies (restaurants, pharmacies)
All-electric, road-ready passenger vehicles ('mini-car' format)
Next-generation plug-in hybrids
