THE VACUUM CAPACITOR THE ULTIMATE ENERGY STORAGE TECHNOLOGY FREEL - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

THE “VACUUM CAPACITOR”

THE ULTIMATE ENERGY STORAGE TECHNOLOGY

FREEL TECH DESIGNED THE «VACUUM CAPACITOR» A REVOLUTION IN ENERGY STORAGE

WE NEED A SAFE, CHEAP, HIGH-DENSITY, EASILY SCALABLE, INDEPENDANT FROM SENSITIVE RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGY, THAT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED MASSIVELY THROUGHOUT EUROPE (AND GLOBALLY)

WE NEED A REAL PARADIGM SHIFT!

THEY DID NOT KNOW IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE, SO THEY DID IT!

MARK TWAIN

FREEL TECH HAS THE SOLUTION TO ADDRESS MASSIVE ENERGY STORAGE!

CHEAP AND SCALABLE SAFE LIGHT VERY HIGH-DENSITY SUITABLE AND AFFORDABLE FOR ALL ENERGY STORAGE APPLICATIONS NO CHEMISTRY INVOLVED, PURE ELECTRICAL STORAGE IN VACUUM SCALABLE NO RELIANCE ON EXPENSIVE MINERAL RESOURCES ONE SOLUTION TO COVER ALL CONTINENTS, EVEN SPACE APPLICATIONS ENVIRONMENTALLY- FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGY

CHARGES (e-)

STORED DIRECTLY AS CHARGE CLUSTERS INSIDE A SMALL BULB UNDER VACUUM

THE VACUUM CAPACITOR: TARGETED PARAMETERS

• ENERGY DENSITY : 0,5 - 1 kWh / cm3
• AFTER INTEGRATION : UP TO 20 kWh / kg
• LOW COST: << 100 USD / kWh
• HIGH NUMBER OF CYCLES
• HIGH ROUND-CYCLE EFFICIENCY
• SMALL QUANTITIES OF MATERIALS NEEDED
• NO RARE OR EXPENSIVE RAW MATERIALS
• LOW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
• SIMPLE RECYCLING

EXPECTED POSITION & TREND FOR FREEL TECH’S TECHNOLOGY

OUR TECHNOLOGY IS – AND SHOULD REMAIN – SIGNIFICANTLY LESS EXPENSIVE THAN ANY OTHER TECHNOLOGY

COST WELL UNDER 100 USD / KWH OUR TARGET : TO BE ALWAYS AT LEAST 5 TIMES LESS EXPENSIVE THAN LI-ION

HOW IT ALL STARTED 15 YEARS AGO…

STATUS TODAY: OPTIMIZED PROTOTYPES

TARGET: 1 KWH PER DEVICE

TESTS OF THE VACUUM CAPACITOR IN FRANCE (DEC. 2019 – FEB 2020)

HIGH DENSITY CHARGE CLUSTERS (HDCC), OR CONDENSED PLASMOIDS (CP), ARE WELL IDENTIFIED STRUCTURES, WHICH HAVE BEEN STUDIED IN PARTICULAR BY KEN SHOULDERS (USA), AS WELL AS OTHER SCIENTISTS (USA, RUSSIA, BELARUS, GERMANY). HDCCs (« EV », « EVO ») are « … highly organized, micron-sized clusters of electrons, having soliton behavior, with electron populations on the order of Avogadro's number… » (K. Shoulders)

THE PHYSICS BEHIND IT: THE CHARGE CLUSTERS

• R. FEYNMAN FIRST DISMISSED THE IDEA PRESENTED

BY KEN SHOULDERS, BUT LATER (1986), HE SENT A LETTER TO K. SHOULDERS, TO RECOGNIZE THAT HE WAS WRONG, AND TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ELECTRON CLUSTERS WERE FEASIBLE …

FREEL TECH: THE TEAM

THESE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES ARE SUSTAINABLE IN TIME

Günther IRGANG - President

Graduated from the Bremerhaven High School

• f

Electronics for military applications. Günther later joined the private sector and graduated from HEC management. Beside its management role with FREEL TECH, Günther is President

• f

two privately-owned entities, active in specific industrial sectors. One of these entities is an appreciated supplier of France’s major naval shipyards of St-Nazaire.

Michael IRGANG - CEO

Graduated from Mines Paristech, 20+ years of working experience in Russia, in particular in the energy sector. (Nuclear, Oil & Gas) Michael developed a taste for fundamental and applied

• physics. He created in 2016 a website dedicated to

theories & facts in theoretical physics, as well as new applications. In 2014 Michael discovered the Vacuum Capacitor technology, and fostered the creation of FREEL TECH.

Julien PLAN - Business Development Director

Mechanical- and Nuclear-engineer (INSA de Lyon & UGA, respectively), Julien also graduated as Executive-MBA at the EM-Lyon Business School. Julien has a strong industrial and technical background and believes the Vacuum Capacitor is the key technology for energy storage. Shareholder of FREEL TECH, Julien actively contributes to the project’s promotion.

Roman KOLOSHENKO, CTO

After a military career, Roman graduated as Engineer. He always showed great interest in electronics & magnetics fields. Head of a team of talented experimenters highly skilled in electronics, who developed the first Vacuum Capacitors prototypes. Roman patented the Vacuum Capacitor in 2010 - 2011, which were eventually transferred to FREEL TECH at the time of its inception, in 2017.

FREEL TECH WAS CREATED AND INCORPORATED IN LUXEMBOURG IN APRIL 2017 ITS SHAREHOLDERS' STRUCTURE IS MAJORITY OWNED BY ITS MANAGEMENT and by a several private investors (business angels, entered in 2017-2019) IP: FREEL TECH OWNS MULTIPLE PATENTS FOR THE TECHNOLOGY (Europe, North America, Eurasia, Brazil, India, and other countries).
