Follow on Google News | MicroPower Offers Boeing Solution to Dreamliner Battery ProblemsMicroPower Global’s advanced semiconductor technology could offer a potential solution to Boeing’s problems with overheating planes.
By: MicroPower Global “We have had quite a long relationship with Boeing,” Mr Lewinsohn added, “Part of Boeing was very keen on waste heat recovery, and prepared a detailed report which foresaw sizeable economic benefits and reduced global carbon emissions, but it seems that senior management decided it was low priority. I think that decision needs to be reviewed in the light of today’ “MicroPower is a small company so we can’t afford to develop the solution for Boeing free of charge, and our technical team in Texas is already stretched preparing samples for other customers. In fact, there is so much demand for sample chips (from different industries with huge waste heat losses) that we have to find to a way to help as many as possible.” “Of course this takes money, and apart from looking at traditional funding, we are launching a Crowdfunding campaign on Monday 15 July via the leading website Kickstarter in the US. This is a way in which many members of the public can participate, and, if they like what we are doing, they can pledge anything from as little as $10. All backers receive a modest reward depending on the size of pledge. It’s an amazing new phenomenon which has helped to raise more than $600m for some 40,000 projects over the last three years” End
