Breathing Buildings Ltd has developed the e-stack natural ventilation system.\u00a0 It is an ideal, energy-efficient\u00a0 and award-winning ventilation solution for use in new buildings and has proved especially effective in schools and universities.<\/p>\n
Breathing Buildings asked us to help it develop a new natural ventilation and Mechanical Heat Recovery product.<\/p>\n
In a three-phase programme, we generated a requirements specification and matched the requirement against current and known IP using our in-house patent attorneys.<\/p>\n
As result, we were then able to design the new product, taking account of the potential for new patents and Freedom to Operate.<\/p>\n
The product is being tested in advance of a major launch and our attorneys are currently ring-fencing the BB concept.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The inventors behind the Jarilo technology had developed a method to use the high pressure at the front of an aerofoil to maintain the laminar flow at the rear of the aerofoil and thereby reduce stalling at low velocities.\u00a0 Firstly, Idea Catalyst modelled the airflow to identify its potential.<\/p>\n
We successfully won an H2020 award then we worked with the inventor to identify a number of potential markets including small and large wind turbines, fixed wings, helicopters and racing car aerofoils.<\/p>\n
We identified that land-based medium sized wind turbines offered the best opportunity for the technology.\u00a0 We took the results to conference and the inventor is currently working with a small number of potential turbine manufacturers to develop the application.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
The principle behind Gyenes Innovation is concerned with the rapid exchange of recharged batteries for electric vehicles.\u00a0 It is well recognised that \u2018refueling\u2019 ie recharging batteries will not be practical in the same way as we understand the \u00a0\u2018petrol\u2019 station due to the recharge time and therefore space required.\u00a0 T<\/p>\n
he Gyeness invention uses strings of smaller precharged batteries which can be \u2018hot-swapped\u2019 in a matter of seconds.\u00a0 Idea Catalyst used a risk-based methodology to identify all the strengths and weaknesses to inform and direct the inventor\u2019s technical development and marketing programmes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
