FOR DEFENSEIncreasing energy efficiency andsustainability at the lowest costIncreasing energy efficiency andsustainability at the lowest cost

FOR DEFENSEAlternative Energy

Dear Colleague,

Astronomical fuel costs, the instability of foreign oil suppliers, and the risks inherentin transporting fuel over long distances have driven the DoD to seek alternatives topetroleum as a fuel source. Alternative energy sources are increasingly viable andnecessary to fulfill military objectives.

New technological breakthroughs to power devices and machinery are at theforefront in today’s operations, with the overarching goal being to reduce fuelconsumption and reliance on petroleum, increase efficiency andsustainability – all at the lowest cost possible.

IDGA’s inaugural conference on Alternative Energy for Defense will enlarge upon ourTactical Power Summit Series, bringing you the latest information about thealternative fuels and power sources that will serve the military’s tactical andoperational needs.

Important issues to be discussed include:• The latest OSD and Service power and energy initiatives and requirements• Lowering energy costs• Advancements in military fuel, including JP-8• New portable power solutions• And much more!

Our objective is to bring forward-thinking military and civilian personnel together inone place to further the development and adoption of alternative energy solutionsfor the military.

Take the time now to block off June 24 – 26, 2009 in your calendar, and reserveyour place among your peers and key leaders in the alternative energy community.Register yourself and your team today by calling Mark Wilson 416-597-4762 orby email [email protected]

I look forward to meeting you in June!

V/R,

Holly Schneider BrownDivision [email protected]

P.S. Don,t miss industry leaders at the pre-conference EnergyHarvesting Focus Day!

The Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR) Project

8:30am – 10:30am

The purpose of the Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR)™project is to develop and demonstrate an autonomous robotic platform ableto perform long-range, long-endurance missions without the need formanual or conventional re-fueling, which would otherwise preclude theability of the robot to perform such missions. The system obtains its energyby foraging – engaging in biologically-inspired, organism-like, energy-harvesting behavior which is the equivalent of eating.

It can find, ingest, and extract energy from biomass in the environment (andother organically-based energy sources), as well as use conventional andalternative fuels (such as gasoline, heavy fuel, kerosene, diesel, propane,coal, cooking oil, and solar) when suitable. For example, about 150 lbs ofvegetation could provide sufficient energy for 100 miles of driving,depending on circumstances.

What will be covered:• The subsystems of EATR and how they work• How EATR distinguishes biomass sources of energy from non-energy

materials, properly manipulates and ingests the biomass materials into theengine system, and generates electrical power to operate the varioussubsystems

How you will benefit:• Learn about potential Phase III commercialization projects• Understand the potential development of prototype and operational

EATR™ systems for military and civil applications• Discover how the hybrid external combustion engine system may be

developed for civil and military automotive applications, whether formanned or unmanned vehicles

Session Leader: Dr. Robert Finkelstein, President, Robotic Technology Inc.

Extracting energy from biomass in the environment

8:00 am Registration and Coffee

12:30pm – 1:30pm Lunch

Mechanical Energy for the Future Soldier Biomechanical Energy Harvesting

10:30am – 12:30pm

Biomechanical energy harvesting—generating electricity from people duringdaily activities—is a promising alternative to batteries for powering thedismounted soldier. These technologies leverage the high chemical tomechanical efficiency of muscle (comparable to internal combustion engines),the high power output of the human body (with 100 W mechanical easilysustainable), and the high specific energy of food (100 fold greater energycontent than batteries of the same weight).

What will be covered:• The biomechanics and physiology of human movement

• The technology underlying current biomechanical energy harvesters• The future path for biomechanical energy harvesting How you will benefit:• An understanding of the physiological potential and limits to

biomechanical energy harvesting • An understanding of the technical potential and limits to biomechanical

energy harvesting

Session Leader: Max Donelan, Ph.D., Chief Science Officer, BionicPower Inc.

Harvesting energy from the human body

Kinetic Energy Harvesting using Capacitor Storage

1:30pm – 3:30pm

Significant quantities of kinetic energy are available for capture and reuseprovided suitable storage media is available. Electrochemical capacitors,sometimes called supercapacitors or ultracapacitors, are fast becoming thepreferred storage media for energy harvesting due to their rapid capturerate, efficient operation, and high cycle life. Capacitor storage will befeatured and compared with alternative energy storage technology.

What will be covered:• Operating principals of electrochemical capacitors• Applications that are best suited for kinetic energy harvesting

• Proper sizing of the energy storage system• Energy efficiency improvements that can be typically achievedHow you will benefit: • Learn what is the state of the art in electrochemical capacitor technology• Hear about the many energy harvesting applications now using capacitor

storage• Become skilled at selecting the most optimum energy storage technology

Session Leader: John R. Miller, Ph.D., President, JME, Inc.

Storing harvested energy

Harvesting Algae for Fuel

3:30pm – 5:30pm

Receive an overview of Univenture’s AlgaeVenture Systems’ Rapid AlgaeFarming system and the efforts to focus on full-scale hybrid pond systemincluding design and performance for the production of algae for fuel andother products. As this system was being designed to provide ideal growingconditions for algae year round with continually harvesting, we developed abreakthrough technology with our harvesting, dewatering, and dryingtechnology. By breaking this long held barrier for economic viability, algaefor fuel now appears to be ready for the market.

What will be covered:• Economic viability of harvesting algae for fuel• Technical overview of the harvesting unit• Uses of harvesting unit beyond the algae industryHow you will benefit:• Learn the about the strategy of simulating nature at its best• Review of challenges overcome with this unique screening process• Discover an energy efficient harvesting unit that is scalable

Session Leader: Ross O. Youngs, CEO, Univenture, Inc.
