Otherlab & Friends Demo Day

​Join Gradient, Aikido, Otherlab, Channing Street Copper Co. and Lightcell for 20-30 minute demomstrations.

​Gradient: Gradient's advanced heat pump technology combines professional-grade performance with straightforward setup. Enjoy seamless integration without the typical hassles of installation.

​Aikido: Aikido’s mission is to develop innovative floating wind technologies that address some of the toughest challenges the industry faces today, remove barriers to deployment, and enable the world to rapidly and cost-effectively harness a low-carbon future.​

​​Otherlab: Underwater anchoring is expensive and challenging, limiting progress of marine industry like aquaculture and ocean energy. With better technology for anchoring offshore we can create economically feasible designs for offshore farming, offshore energy, and ecologically friendly mooring.

​With funding from ARPA-e, Otherlab has developed Anchorbot, an underwater anchor-installing machine for helical anchors and piles. The machine is fully electric and swims freely on a tether to deliver an anchor to a target location and screw it into the ground. This machine and the anchors it installs outperform any other method of anchor installation in cost, time, water depth capability, environmental impact, and more.

​Lightcell: Lightcell is a novel concept engine in development. there's prior art from fields such as concentrated solar, pyrotechnics (fireworks), sodium lamps, and thermophotovoltaics,
however, to our knowledge no past effort brought these concepts together. this effort harnesses advanced new materials,
and uses physics at photon densities rarely explored.

Channing Street Copper Co. Copper is building an Energy Storage Enabled (ESE) induction stove that reduces the levelized cost of storage by roughly 55%. By embedding batteries directly into household appliances and creating a network of energy storage enabled appliances, Copper aims to eliminate barriers to electrification, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote public health and well-being. Battery supported induction is an improvement on standard induction cooking as it provides higher power and faster power delivery and no AC “hum” from burners.

ISTARI Carecubes is a groundbreaking patient care system that revolutionizes infectious disease management. These devices enhance safety, quality of care, and cost-effectiveness by minimizing PPE usage. They streamline equipment processing and reduce the need for extensive IPC training.
Compared to the Conventional Care Model, the ISTARI Carecube achieves an 82% reduction in Category A HAZMAT waste for 10-day Ebola Virus disease patient care.
