Litroenergy Lighting the Way for Centuries

by Brian Yalung on Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

The creation and discovery of energy saving devices continues and at the 2007 Create The Future Design Contest, a patent-pending designed material that emits light for more than a decade without electricity or sun exposure, has won $20,000 for being the grand prize.

Litroenergy, employs self-luminous micro particles called Litrospheres to emit light for 12 or more years without exposure to any external energy source. The relatively inexpensive material, which can be injection-molded or added to paint, could save billions of dollars in energy costs if it achieves widespread commercial adoption.

“This invention and all of the winning entries are wonderful examples of what this contest celebrates — the application of innovative design ideas to solve real-world problems and make a difference in people’s lives,” said Joe Pramberger, Publisher of NASA Tech Briefs.

Update on the technology:

20+ Year New Electrical Power Source - Litroenergy Power Cells

The 2007 NASA Tech Brief's award winning light source from MPK CO. was just disclosed in this years contest to create electricity when applied to solar cells. Versatile, abundant and low cost electrical energy - this can power micro devices, electric car, homes, etc. Green Tech the world needs today!

The technology aims to replace batteries, generating low-cost electricity for everything from micro devices to utility applications has groundbreaking implications and has potential to turn the battery business upside down.

Litroenergy is made from litrospheres, which are self-illuminating micro particles that, when they are placed on or sandwiched between solar cells, generate electricity. The light-emitting microparticles are not affected by heat or cold and can be used in sheet form for easy application on solar cells.

“The many novel, versatile and far reaching applications/benefits for low cost on-going durable, solid state power generation without using any additional resources and being extremely environmentally friendly has ground breaking implications for our energy consuming world.”
