Aluminum Fueled Galvanic Generator
Aluminum has 2.5X the energy density of gasoline/diesel and is the most abundant metal on earth. AlumaPower's Galvanic Generator extracts electricity and heat from Aluminum Fuel Discs by reversing the electrochemical reactions used in the original smelting. Drop-in Fuel Discs like CDs, add our solid electrolyte and water to activate.

CO₂-Storing Precast Concrete: Enhancing Strength Through CO₂ Curing of Alternative Cements
This breakthrough locks CO₂ into concrete, making it stronger, greener, and more durable. Instead of releasing emissions, the concrete absorbs CO₂, cutting pollution while boosting performance. No steam, less energy, lower carbon footprint. A game-changer for sustainable construction; stronger concrete, cleaner planet.
