Origami Kite: A Smart Morphing Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWES) for Enhanced Power Generation
TS-047066 — A next-generation AWES with significantly enhanced energy production efficiency and mobility that integrates transformative approaches of new kite flight mechanisms with a deployable origami structural design, an intelligent launching system, and data-based optimal control algorithms
Among different airborne wind energy system (AWES) mechanisms, the Ground-Gen AWES, which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy on the ground, has attracted increasing attention from both research institutes and industry because of their low cost, less complicated construction compared…

Redox Transistor Battery
TS-037371 — A refillable, rechargeable, and portable electrochemical energy storage system
Compared to fossil fuel-powered alternatives, electric vehicles powered by Li‐ion batteries are limited by short driving range, long recharge time, and capacity fade. Alternatives to Li‐ion batteries, such as supercapacitors and redox flow batteries with comparably high specific power and rapi…

Alcohol Production from Carbon Dioxide
TS-014972 — An electrochemical process on a metal electrode catalyst is used to produce alcohols such as ethanol, ethylene, propanol, acetic acid, ethane, and formic acid from the direct conversion of carbon dioxide
In the United States, there is an increasing interest in ethanol as an alternative fuel source to decrease the dependence on fossil fuels. In 2012, the National Corn Growers Association reported that 27.3% of the corn harvested in the U.S. was used for the production of ethanol. This has sparked a…
