SEFE, Inc. (SEFE) Reports Upcoming Test Parameters

Earlier this afternoon, SEFE unveiled the parameters for the forthcoming test of its proprietary detection system. The test will take place at a private facility in the Midwest.

Mike Hurowitz, Lead Engineer for SEFE, explained, “The flight detector system can be thought of as a ‘site survey’ tool to quickly identify operating parameters for the Harmony III system. It will be instrumental in perfecting our strategy for development, as well as our cost models. We will be pursuing aggressive testing over the next several months.”

This test will record atmospheric conditions, GPS location, and charge density/mobility measurements. This data is expected further enable SEFE’s team to determine the appropriate conditions to begin ground-based testing of the collection device.

SEFE, Inc. (SEFE) Provides Overview of Tether Contact System

Today, SEFE, a technology- and solutions-driven sustainability company, introduced a summary of its tether contact system and its role in the company’s flagship Harmony III product.

The tether contact system is designed to minimize electrical path length on the power tether. Using a proprietary mechanism, the system completes the power circuit, removing the unused power tether from the path. It functions in tandem with the dynamic electrical converter and the electrostatic motor-generator as an efficiency booster, allowing the same hardware to be used no matter what the flight elevation of the aerostat will be.

“The most oft-asked questions about the design of our system are related to its safety and efficiency. This component of our system is one of several inventions geared toward addressing both of those issues in order to enhance the product as a whole,” stated Mike Hurowitz, SEFE’s Director of Engineering.

SEFE, Inc. (SEFE) Provides Overview of Proprietary Launch Assist System

SEFE, a technology- and solutions-driven sustainability company, today provided the investor community with a summary of its proprietary Balloon Launch Assist system and a thorough description of its role in the company’s flagship Harmony III product.

The Balloon Launch Assist system covers the use of a secondary stabilizing balloon on top of the primary lift balloon, allowing the simple launch and retrieval of the primary balloon. In addition to eliminating the need for the extra manpower usually associated with the initial launch of a balloon, the secondary balloon provides upward lift and prevents the primary balloon from tipping over, ensuring stability during the critical stages of initial balloon deployment, as well as during retrieval. The invention is in the patent application process with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office; as of yet, a patent-pending number has not yet been issued.

“Safety and efficiency are paramount as we build out the design of our Harmony III units,” emphasized Mike Hurowitz, SEFE’s Director of Engineering. “The Balloon Launch Assist accomplishes both, while minimizing the size of the team required to manage the operational procedures. And, of course, it fits into our overall intellectual property strategy, as the leaders in developing and bringing atmospheric energy to market.”

SEFE, Inc. (SEFE) Cubic Wire Detector Enhances Ability to Collect Atmospheric Ions

SEFE, a solutions-driven sustainability company developing and deploying a promising solution to our world’s energy problems, today provided important details on its Cubic Wire Detector, which represents an enhancement to the company’s pending patent covering Collection of Atmospheric Ions.

The Cubic Wire Detector is categorized as a “continuation-in-part” application, adding a variation to SEFE’s patent-pending application for Collection of Atmospheric Ions while claiming priority based on the original patent, which was filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on May 12, 2011. The variation employs an open-frame cubic box with alternating wires rather than parallel plates to collect atmospheric ions, and helps identify where the most abundant source of atmospheric charge is located.

The cubic wire geometry is more suited to the flight environment and is also able to capture directionality, depletion, and charge mobility measurements. The alternating wires are held at a high voltage and the ions that pass between the wires are accelerated by the high voltage and measured as a current. The system adds a secondary decay mode to measure the mobility of the charge in the atmosphere during the test.

“The Cubic Wire Detector provides an important variation of the ion categorization technology; this allows us to perform the testing essential to the development of the Harmony III product line,” said Ryan Coulson, Lead Scientist for SEFE. “Understanding where the highest charge density lies is absolutely critical to Harmony III. The Cubic Detector improves our ability to study how atmospheric static charge is consumed and replenished.”

SEFE, Inc. (SEFE) Gets the Word Out

It’s one of the most revolutionary and timely ideas to come along in a very long time, and, although continuing to develop, it’s an idea that has been actively demonstrated to work. It’s the incredible concept of pulling significant amounts of electrical energy directly out of the air, anywhere in the world.

SEFE has developed, and now protected through numerous patents, a tested and verified way of pulling direct current electricity from the atmosphere; cost effective and environmentally safe energy which is then converted to alternating current for immediate use in any application, regardless of how remote it may be from the grid. The technology does not require extensive infrastructure, and can be rapidly scaled up to produce electricity at a unit cost expected to rival wind, or even traditional power sources. A single SEFE energy generation unit could produce enough energy to meet the needs of approximately 140 average American homes, with no carbon footprint or emissions, in any location.

Like the early days of flight, the idea is so innovative and groundbreaking that perhaps the biggest challenge at present is to get people to recognize that it’s true, not a pipe dream, and accept its potential. To this end, SEFE has been working to present the technology at every opportunity, and recently attended the important Electrical Power Conference in Baltimore, Maryland. The conference covers the most important tactical issues in the power industry, and is attended by industry professionals from around the world. SEFE’s presence got big play on signs and displays throughout the event, and led to meetings with energy industry representatives.

SEFE CEO, Don Johnston, commented on the importance of getting the news out about the company and Harmony III, the remarkable system for capturing energy from the air. “We are working on developing contacts in the mining and utility space, as well as using the connections of our consultants and collaborations with universities. SEFE’s technology has the potential to change the world in terms of green, sustainable energy, so promoting Harmony III at events such as the ELECTRIC POWER Conference is meaningful and important as the company goes forward.”
