NEXT ALTERNATIVE AFFILIATE RECEIVES MAJOR GRANT FOR CONTINUED RESEARCH OF
NANO-TECHNOLOGY
(Ottawa, Ontario) Robert Ireland, CEO of Next Alternative, Inc. (NAI), is
pleased to announce that Dr. Omar Ramahi, a Professor at Waterloo
University who is working with the firm's chemists, has been awarded a
$25,000 grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of
Canada (NSERC).
The grant is specifically for harvesting electromagnetic energy in the
micro-wave and infra-red spectra. Dr. Ramahi noted that photovoltaic-based
technology, while very popular, is limited to the direct availability of
solar rays, while the non-visible spectrum is available day or night. This
provides a greater possibility for harnessing more energy and using it for
a variety of applications - most importantly for NAI, in recharging
batteries remotely.
Dr. Ramahi has relayed that the current objective is to construct a
prototype, scalable electromagnetic radiation (EMR) harvesting device to
operate initially within the micro-wave regime and eventually translate the
technology to the infra-red regime. Next Alternative realizes that delving
deeper into this fascinating process and developing proprietary technology
will be vastly important not only to the company, but to Canada as a whole.
According to Ireland, 'This grant awarded by the NSERC clearly shows the
relevance of NAI and Dr. Ramahi's work.' He continued, 'It's very exciting
to be discovering new and better ways to garner energy. The impact and
benefits of this research will be felt on a major scale.'
