Heat pillow for pain relief

Tobias — Wed, 25 Apr 2018 02:35:28 +0000

Hi! Im using a heated pillow for pain relief at the moment. Currently im using two differential ones an electric One and a Rice filled(which you heat in the microwave). Ive got problem with both options. The electric One i dont like having plugged in trough the night due to fire hazard and im also in need of an electric jacket nearby. The ricefilled heatpillow doesnt last for that Long. So thats when the idea came to me. With an saltx battery would it be possible to have a heat pillow/ricebag and skip the electric jacket and thereby acheving no worry for fire hazard, portable and still having a Long lastning heat pillow? Maybe even the Cold from the saltxbattery could be used for cooling heat injuries?

Case of the Week: Week 16 - Wind Energy and SaltX

liudas@saltxtechnology — Mon, 23 Apr 2018 16:08:05 +0000

SaltX LABS brings you a new challenge every week. We encourage you to collaborate with others who are interested in the SaltX technology and come up with solutions to world’s challenges. If you have an idea we will support you from ideation to building a successful company!
This week we are focusing on the wind turbine industry. Wind power accounts for 4 percent of overall global energy supply and is a great way to go off-grid. The modern industry started in windy areas of Denmark where local entrepreneurs started building turbines to reduce their energy costs. Progress has been huge - currently, the largest rotor blades can reach over 80 m in length, comparable to the wingspan of an Airbus A380, the world’s largest commercial plane. These plants can generate around 8MW of electricity. Besides the huge commercial wind farms, small scale private wind energy solutions are also coming to place.
The connection to SaltX this week is the perfect synergy of renewable energy production and storage. While wind power generates huge amounts of electricity, sometimes there is not enough demand or the supply varies too much. That’s where SaltX technology becomes useful to store extra energy as heat. Can you think of further ways to use the SaltX technology to benefit from free renewable energy?

SaltX Sauna is looking for a new team member

liudas@saltxtechnology — Fri, 20 Apr 2018 16:02:27 +0000

SaltX Sauna - a very successful idea that came out of SaltX Hackaton is looking for a project leader to take over business development role in the team.

SaltX Sauna is supported by Vattenfall, Bergenstråhle & Partners, Swedbank and has the potential to change how energy is consumed in Saunas and make them more environmentally friendly while at the same time saving money for the owners.

Please, comment here or send us a message to liudas.mikalsaltxtechnology.com with your contact details if you would like to join the team at this exciting time in the company!
We will be reviewing applications at a rolling basis so don't wait too long!

Case of the Week: Week 15 – Stirling engines and SaltX

Jacob Göransson — Sun, 15 Apr 2018 12:23:24 +0000

Recently we had a discussion on our forum about Stirling engines and SaltX. One of our members on the forum is interested in assessing this area and wants your help. If you think this sounds interesting, contact him at anders.skooog@gmail.com.

The Stirling engine is a fascinating engine. It is driven by an external heat source, thus it can run on all kinds of fuel. Furthermore the engine works in a closed-cycle which allows it to reach very high efficiencies compared to most other engines. Another advantage is that it works very quietly, especially compared to todays internal combustion engines.

The connection to SaltX is that the external heat source potentially could be heat stored in our salt. Thus no other fuel than heat stored in our salt would need to be used to fuel the Stirling engine. An idea that came up in our forum is that this could be used for ships or small submarines.

What are your thoughts? Do you have ideas about other applications? Discuss at our forum SaltX LABS. Or do you want to help Anders doing further assessment/research about this? Then contact Anders at anders.skooog@gmail.com.

Saltx oven

Henrikma — Mon, 09 Apr 2018 22:55:47 +0000

Almost every houshold in the world uses their oven a couple of times per week. Maby you could use the waste heat from the oven to charge the saltx material so that we only have to run the oven with electrisity half of the times.

Saltx oven would globaly save a lot of energy!

Largescale Heatboost

Rikard — Sun, 08 Apr 2018 15:21:58 +0000

Hello

I wonder if there is any posibility that we could use the SaltX to get att higher energy output in a waste incineration plant or a common wood boiler in simular way that u plan to use heatboost technology in gas furnices?
What do you think about it?
