Mass Megawatts Announces New Hydroelectric Technology with Quick Financial Payback Mass Megawatts announced a new hydroelectric technology with a quick financial payback. Mass Megawatts had spent a considerable amount of funds and research related to similar technology over the past 25 years. The Company believes that the energy marketplace will have substantially less barriers to market entry than its related products that Mass Megawatts developed over the years. A new low-cost Hydroelectric Power System that can pay for itself in less than two years at the best locations. The new product can reduce costs by utilizing substantially less than 50% material and much less initial engineering requirements for a given rated power output than traditional hydropower plants. The Hydro Multiaxis Turbosystem (ie Hydromat) is a tower structure comprising large lattice like tower sections with many smaller blades that are connected to each axis or shaft of the unit comprised of many shafts with gearboxes and generators. Unlike the Multiaxis Turbos system, the wind version of the Hydromat, water has 800 times more density and power for any given same velocity for both air and water. The use of stainless steel or any number of composites to support the powerful water velocity could be used as material and still be very cost competitive. The tower structure supports the shafts as a whole. The new cost cutting product was developed to simplify the blades cost by reducing their size by avoiding larger blades which require an expensive construction cost. Using many smaller blades is a more cost-effective approach than using a large and complex one toward a given power generation unit. The Hydromat has a different approach of positioning the blades for gathering the mechanical power and directing it toward the generator for producing electricity. Traditionally, hydroelectric turbines are a single row of large turbine blades leading to additional engineering cost to overcome a multitude of vibration and frequency related problems. In larger turbines, the blades were large and therefore limited in their design and the material. Additionally, the amount of material used to achieve the same power output is substantially less when using many smaller blades than one larger blade since the weight of the blade changes as cube of the length. In other words, when the length of the blade doubles, weight increases by the power of three whereas the power increases only by the square of the length. This is a simplified calculation, and the exact ratio would depend on the specific materials and engineering requirements for each blade design. The comparison of power output to weight in the blade length differences of a 5-foot blade vs a 50-foot blade would be substantial. In one noted benefit, the structure could be like a four-legged table unlike a one tower support system of other turbines. This can be compared to the concept behind the lighter but stronger Rolm tower or lattice-like structure. Therefore, it requires less material for the stability needed. In an additional feature, the Hydromat could use an off the shelf bushing of concentric sleeves with rubber, polyurethane or other isolator, absorption and /or damper securely bonded between the structure and the moving parts. The object of this bushing would be to isolate or dampen the vibrations of the moving blades from the steel structure. The bushings will be placed between the shaft and bearings. The sleeve structure is designed to take up torsional movements as well as axial and radial loads. The design of avoiding one central blade area allows this "divide and conquer" approach of isolating the vibrations in a cost-effective manner. More importantly, reduced vibrations and a stronger tower structure should add years to the useful life of the new product. As an example of the advantages of the new hydroelectric technology, large power plants help explain the technical aspects of the new product that are previously mentioned. For example, when generating large amounts of power at traditional power plants of both fossil fuel and renewable sources, conventional turbines had large rotors increase dramatically as the diameter increases. conventional turbines had to increase the diameter of the blades to capture more energy by increasing the area which is impacting on the blades. This increase in the area which is impacting on The increase in the blades for producing substantial power can increase the cost of other items in the turbine other than the turbine other than the turbine Other items in the turbine other than The turbine other than the turbines can increase the turbine other than the turbines other than the power can increase the power can increase the cost of the turbine other than the power generation unit.

Mass Megawatts Wind Power, Inc. Announces Project Payback Within 2 Years for Large Thermal Commercial Applications Mass Megawatts Wind Power, Inc. announced cost reductions using patent pending technology with solar thermal and heat recovery systems for industrial applications. The patent pending concentrated solar technology can reduce the use of conventional heat sources like natural gas and coal using thermal storage systems that are already available. One viable heat storage method is the use of natural stones as a heat storage media which are cheap and harmless to the environment. The most important innovation toward reducing the cost of electricity is related to the unique solar concentration section that works well with solar tracker. The Concentrated Solar innovation brings substantial cost saving improvements toward delivering solar generated electricity. The unique cost competitive solar concentration section using a low-cost material is placed onto the solar tracker platform. The low-cost material is already approved by structural engineers for buildings having an expected life of 30 years. In recent news, Mass Megawatts introduced a new Sterling engine using the low-cost concentrator. The improved Sterling engine reduces the mechanical issues related to pistons and its applications. In the heat displacer and piston, a rectangular extension with the four walls comprising rollers avoids the need for precision and friction when the parts are moving. The cost reduction related to robust simplicity also reduces long term maintenance issues related to traditional piston technology. Bekanntmachung • Aug 24
Mass Megawatts Announces Improvement to Increase Power Output of an Additional 20% to the Recently Announced Innovations Mass Megawatts announced plans to seek UL 3703 certification, the Standard for Solar Trackers, involving rigorous inspection and evaluation of tracker performance. In addition to recent innovations, Mass Megawatts also announced the improvement of an additional 20% with an innovative redesign of its patent pending solar tracker to maximize the albedo or solar reflection effect of receiving electric power output from the backside of solar panels that can accept solar rays from both sides of the solar panel. The cost saving improvement is possible since the patent pending solar tracker has the competitive advantage of using a low-cost method for protection against high wind and hurricane related events. The solar panels attached to the tracker platform would force the face of the panels to turn 90 degrees from the direction of the wind. The "yaw sideways" technique avoids the need for additional material and cost needed to protect against high wind events. Earlier this summer, the Mass Megawatts announced a photovoltaic version of the concentrated power system. The concentrator section has two times more surface area than the area of the solar panels. The concentrators do not have to be expensive parabolic objects. It can be inexpensive flat silver colored canvas like sections which focus directly on an even manner onto the solar panels through the day using platform based low-cost solar tracker. The silver color for reflectors is important due to the high albedo (reflectivity) effect of silver. The avoidance of concentrated hot spots on the solar panel is avoided using a dual axis version of solar tracker software using a motor to move the horizontal section of solar panels and an actuator to move the horizontal section which raises and lowers the panels to an optimal level for that time of the year. At the same time, the maximum output from the reflectors of 110% more output is enhanced on top of the 36% additional output from patent pending platform based solar tracker. As a result, the total additional power output is 170% greater than similar number of solar panels without the solar tracker and reflectors. Bekanntmachung • Jul 27
