DIDIK 2000 Program Electric Energy from the Sun Thank you for your interest in our solar energy research program. The DIDIK 2000 is an experimental solar collector designed as the first stage of manufacturing inexpensive solar electrical generating systems for commercial applications. The collector consists of a uniquely designed 7' (2 meter 15cm) parabolic mirror manufactured out of a partially flexible material that allows the curvature and thus, the focal length to be altered either manually or by computer control. The focal point ranges from 9 feet to 15 feet (3,000mm to 5,000mm). The DIDIK 2000 is built upon a trailer which incorporates an equatorial mount that allows the primary focusing mirror to follow the sun from morning till night, at any latitude. Adjustments for a particular latitude and/or location is a simple task that can be accomplished in a few minutes. The concentrated sunlight produces temperatures which can exceed 3000 degrees Fahrenheit. Even higher temperatures can be achieved in a vacuum. Ceramic is used as the target. To convert this enormous amount of heat energy into electrical energy, we are experimenting with a number of direct and indirect conversion systems including direct electron exchange systems, indirect liquid/gas mechanical systems and conventional, modified, solar/voltaic systems. Preliminary results have been astounding. We are also exploring various methods of storing the concentrated energy and this includes conventional battery arrays, various electrolytic conversion systems, various flywheel systems, fuel cells and thermo-storage systems. Research information gathered from the DIDIK 2000 will provide data necessary to manufacture quality, low cost, workable solar electric generating systems. The knowledge gathered from this system will provide us with an engineering window in producing significantly larger collectors in the future. Multiple DIDIK 2000 units can be coordinated together to allow increased electrical output. The DIDIK 2000 has a significant niche market including remote locations, farming applications, forestry applications, emergency applications, and has should be particularly useful in global areas where conventional fossil fuel is prohibitively expensive or not available. Technology used to manufacture the primary reflector in the DIDIK 2000 is can also be used to manufacture supersized optical mirror telescopes and specialty lenses. We will be offering our knowhow to manufacturing enterprises.

Notice the Statue of Liberty and the Staten Island Ferry in the distant background. Notice the old World Trade Center across the East River from where these photographs were shot. The Trade Center was destroyed 4 years later on September 11, 2001.   Power Plant Technologies Optimized Power Plant Efficiency Thank you for your interest in our powerplant technologies. We have spent a considerable amount of time developing alternate energy systems and optimizing the use of existing energy products. We have developed and optimized a number of existing and new technologies that can significantly increase the efficiency of existing power plants. Our technology is viable for plants that generate electricity by thermo means such as coal, gas, oil or nuclear fired plants. Essentially, the systems captures heat energy that would normally be lost in cooling towers and in pipes. Based on our calculations, which stem from formulas that we developed from working models, we estimate the captured energy can be as high as 3.7 percent. Based on our calculations, a typical power plants capital investment in our system can be recouped within 4 years of installment.
