Traditionally, small wind turbines have had a significantly lower efficiency than their large-scale counterparts, increasing their levelized cost of energy. Diffuse Energy's product is a small wind turbine that, through being enclosed within a diffuser, can produce nearly twice the power output of existing wind turbines of the same size. Their additional diffuser also makes their turbine safer and quieter than existing turbines, both of which are key considerations for potential customers. Diffuse Energy has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/ON-Accelerate4-Teams/Diffuse-Energy
Contactile gives robots the sense of touch. Contactile's technology is a tactile sensor that provides the sensory advantages of the human hand without the physical limitations related to size, strength, environment and fatigue, enabling robotic gripping with just the right amount of force. Contactile has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Accelerate5-Teams/Contactile
Graph Air is a cost efficient process of producing graphene. It can filter out extremely toxic chemical compounds while allowing pure, pH neutral water through. It has narrow channels through which smaller water molecules can pass, but larger dissolved molecules and solvated ions are blocked. Graph Air has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/Accelerate1/Graph-Air
Sensei enables customers to achieve a greater understanding of their harshest process environments, allowing them to more effectively optimise their processes. Using Sensei, sensors are embedded in the material being processed and can be set to transmit readings at whatever time intervals are required. It is the only solution in the market that has the potential to provide cost effective measurement and productivity benefits for mining, petroleum, food and beverage and environmental industries. Sensei has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/Accelerate1/Sensei
ViON has introduced a novel online approach to accurately predict faults within various assets in the power network before they arise. This identification allows companies to take immediate and preventative action before any catastrophic consequences occur. ViON measures the input/output of current/voltage for each asset in the electricity grid to create a 'fingerprint'. Any variation in the fingerprint is then an early indication for faults. ViON has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/ON-Accelerate4-Teams/ViON
