Intelligent Energy Management Solutions?

01/15/2012 2:24 AM

I'm planning to start a business initiative that could be applied to an entire city..

something sustainable and related to reducing energy consumption..

I need an innovative idea I could develop on.. something that doesn't exist or is not wide-spread..

for eg: using special soles and mats to generate power at a mall..

I'm looking for simple yet productive ideas.. that could fall along the lines of providing solutions related to Home, retail, hospitals, universities or water..

It takes lots of public education and co-operation, but grey water can save a lot of energy. Potable water is expensive to supply, and is quickly cast away after use. Toilet flushing, irrigation, equipment cooling, and even some industrial uses where the water is not splashed near people can use grey water. A little chlorine will help make grey water safer for public use.

A second set of pipes are required, and quality monitoring is necessary. Some grey water is actually good for irrigation, as it carries fertilizing ingredients.

The savings in disposal of used water, and the sales of grey water can add up quickly.

I might have something of interest to you. How would you like to proceed? If you think that such a naive approach will get around intellectual property issues think again. You will have your work cut out for you what ever happens here.

Good luck, Ky.

Presuming you have adequate finance resourcing in place, you might try fishing for ideas via this sort of organization.

US $10-20,000 is fairly cheap for multi-million dollar earning solutions, but be sure to read the IP conditions, so you know how to properly stiff the naive suckers that fall for it.

Good luck

What funds do you have available? Send 50% now and I'll dream up something.

The remaining capital to be sent after I've had a good night's sleep (dream time).
