The new UCF AMTS/NMTS System safely removes PCB-contaminated building materials and leaves structures intact.

New Formulation for Removing PCB-Contaminated Materials

33844 – Safe, Odor-Neutral Paste Removes Toxins from Paint and Concrete While Leaving Structures Intact A UCF researcher has developed a new formulation for remediating halogenated compounds, such as toxic polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), that maintains a paste structure without requiring a covering or sealant and excludes offensive odor materials. This new formulation still maintains an... Read More

Example of the solar-powered “Anywhere Fan.”

Solar-Powered Portable Fan Generates Greater Airflow while Saving Energy

30736 – Low-cost, portable, solar-powered “Anywhere Fan” enables disaster relief teams to cool and ventilate homes during power outages caused by natural disasters. A UCF researcher has invented a portable, solar-powered fan that requires less power than existing personal and ventilation fans and generates about 30 percent more airflow. Besides being energy-efficient, the new “Anywhere Fan” is... Read More

As shown in the example, the PV-Assisted Heat Pump Water Heater system has a residential compressor-refrigerant-based storage type water heating system with (A) PV modules and microinverters, (B) a programmable smart controller, and (C) a resistance heating circuitry that allows the resistance heater to work with varying levels of electrical power.
