American Power Resources

American Power Resources’ businesses use a multi-dimensional approach to provide comprehensive solutions for the customers, people, and communities we serve. We solve the challenges faced by businesses and communities by addressing the entire ecosystem of renewable energy, from development & construction of green energy assets, to operations & supply of clean energy, which ultimately results in carbon reduction, sustainability, and financial benefits for our customers.

Switching Battery

We power the world with reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy by pioneering advanced patented switching technologies that revolutionize control withing battery systems. Our first revolutionary semiconductor chip will be released in April 2024. The DV0804C05 is a Zero-loss Energy Transfer mechanism chip that replaces all present voltage regulators which has about 15 - 30 percent inherent energy loss. The DV stands for Dual Voltage with the first digits 08 representing the high voltage and the following 04 representing the low voltage with the C05 indicating that the Charging voltage is 5V. It is the first product in the world to have a low voltage input of 5V with ability to have a higher voltage output of 8V using a Zero-loss transfer mechanism. Our highly efficient semiconductor chip has near-zero loss due to our advanced patented technology that overcomes the problems inherent in all switches that are based on 'quick break mechanism'. Our advanced affordable switching mechanisms make every battery safe reducing electromagnetic interference associated with human health as we use either zero or low switching frequency as we value human safety. Look out for our Zero Controllers in DigiKey, Amazon and other marketplaces.

Natel Energy

Natel Energy is a technology & engineering company working to support healthy rivers, promote biodiversity and decarbonize the grid by developing hydropower turbines that enable downstream passage of fish and other aquatic organisms. Through rigorous testing and refinement, Natel has achieved through-turbine fish passage survival rates of 98-100% across multiple fish species and life stages with its novel FishSafe™ runner designs. These runners have demonstrated effective fish passage while operating at conventional blade speeds and maintaining high hydraulic efficiency. Natel conducts feasibility studies, performs fish passage and performance testing, and works with trusted turbine manufacturers to implement its runner designs worldwide. Natel is a privately held company located in Alameda, California in the United States.

Makani

Makani aimed to enable more people around the world to have access to clean, affordable wind power by developing energy kites, an airborne wind energy technology that used a wing tethered to a ground station, to efficiently harness energy from the wind. By replacing the massive steel towers of conventional wind turbines with lightweight hardware and smart software, Makani hoped to unlock access to wind resources too expensive or impractical to access with traditional wind technologies. In 2020, Makani’s journey as a company came to an end. Learn more about the team’s 13 year journey building an entirely new type of wind energy technology by visiting: www.x.company/projects/makani
