THE MACHINE WE BUILT

Uniflow Power Ltd September 2017

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGuQx7mu-zI

4kWe, ~20kWth, externally fired, steam driven, double acting engine driving a flywheel which can drive anysmall rotary device (like an alternator.

Completely mechanically controlled, no electronics or batteries to start spinning the wheel. 20 lt boiler, water constantly recycled.

Two widely patented components underpinning efficiency, compressed gas engine and water tube boiler.

Test of emergency relief valve at 2MPa

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED• Wind and solar are intermittent, ephemeral• 24hr electricity, off-grid, stand alone or in micro-grids, requires battery

storage systems, which in turn require diesel generator back-up.• Demand always exceeds supply in micro-grids and demand support

also requires mechanical generation – diesel or petrol generators. • 9 to 11 million small diesel generators are sold p.a.,

many employed simply to charge battery packs.• Buying diesel drains hard currency from communities• Megatonnes of agriculture and forestry waste produced every year

that could be used as fuel, much waste already burnt in open piles or left to rot - no simple way to convert variable and seasonal biomass fuels to power at small scale, at points of micro-grid demand.

OUR SOLUTION!On-demand renewable energy from free local fuels• The Uniflow Generator turns the lowest grade combustible

fuels into energy services.• Fuels = coconut husk, woody weeds, saw dust, bamboo chips, nut

shells, olive pips, rice straw, sisal, bagasse, waste paper, etc.

• Energy Storage – YES! = Any Dry Woody or Fibrous Fuel.

• Locally sourced biomass in many developing economies is a free good, but one that has little economic value where surplusagricultural biomass is produced.

• Uniflow transforms relationship with energy when free local fuels are turned into something of value and can be used to create local power, local products and services keeping hard currency at home.

BIOMASS FINAL ENERGY SHARE

Efficient, appropriate biomass/agwaste share must grow to carry some of the increasing task of energy for all, while fossil fuel shares fall.

TRADITIONAL BIOMASS IS AN ENABLING ACCESSIBLE ECONOMY

- Large scale biomass requires energy invested to transport fuels to power station – very often negative energy return on energy invested (-EROI).

- Cellulose is hard to turn into gas and very intolerant of fuel variability, technical challenges in many settings.

- Efficient, fuel agnostic, direct combustion to raisesteam at small scale, appropriate scale biomass is completely complementary to small scale solar/battery storage systems and micro-grids, turning “hybrid-renewable” systems into “Pure Renewable” systems.

UNIFLOW INNOVATION PLATFORM• Developing economies and so called ‘economies in transition’,

are economies with large numbers of entrepreneurs

• The Uniflow generator is a ‘small enterprise energy platform’. From the simplest, often free fuels, the Uniflow Generator can deliver multiple valuable energy outputs ;

• Electricity

• Rotary mechanical power – pumps, fans, compressors, saws, converyors, mills, hammers,

• Hot Water

• Distilled water

• Steam

• Hot air (drying, space heating etc)

Every country in which a Uniflow industry is established is the potential source of many new small scale energy applications (apps). Energy apps!

PATH TO MARKET – BUILD PARTNERSHIPS AND MACHINES

Strategic partners at every step

• India – MoU with Tata Power who are currently fabricating components under agreement to run demonstration machine in India

• Singapore – Uniflow subsidiary applying for Singapore and international grants and has secured location for demonstration

• Canberra – ACT Govt providing heritage farmhouse site for demonstration site 5km as crow flies to Parliament House, several Australian grant options to be pursued.

• Africa – Numerous distributor enquiries will be followed up by master distributor(s) to be appointed when early machines and training can be supplied.

• Americas – Progressing establishment of wholly owned subsidiary HQ in California or Oregon to develop North American markets

• Europe – Patent coverage in 9 countries - multiple enquiries about European manufacturing of European products and distribution in hand.Uniflow Power Ltd September 2017
