Welcome to the new Ireneus: Today Energy, Solar Plans and more

From the editors:

We think that next years we will able to see great transformations. We must answer to the new challenges if we want to improve our world. Today investors have to know how physical numbers (watts, nanometers, terabytes, efficience in photons energy, etc.) can be translated into money terms. Their purpose and sometimes their customers need transform the first into the second. And of course, it is not clear.
Indeed it is our mission in this blog: helping people who need harness investment opportunities at early stage in lead sector with high return and growing markets and benefits and perhaps there are not much time to decide.Because sometimes, it is necessary a scientific basis to learn what the numbers want to say. This is our engagement.
This century perhaps would be known in the futre as the "3-S century". Our vision establishes a new world characterized as

• Stronger: with new, clean, sustainable and efficient energy sources
• Smaller: developing new technologies and knowledges at nanoscale world, providing us new circuits, bio-tech developments, etc
• Smarter: if we were able to perform technologies to work with all information and comunication and interact with the human being: expert systems, artificial intelligence, robotics, searching engines, and so on.

We will focuse our articles in these three topics. We think nobody has too much time to test another sectors. This three items are the key sectors today and the key to a reliable investment. Furthermore, our dream is that ireneus become a meeting point beetwen investors and researchers.Thank you very much for all and we start, we have not too much time, you know...

Stronger

Listen, recently published by Ken Zweibel, James Mason and Vasilis Fthenakis in Scientific American a great report about energetic scenario in EE.UU. 2050 a great plan in Solar Energy. They talked about Photovoltaic Solar Energy (PSE) and Concentrated Solar Energy (CSE) in heating fluids. There are two different technologies and two different benefits to investors. Today the two technologies are in use but the authors hope that in the future, the current economic figures of the sector will be improved, sure.

But, what is better in profitable terms? They said:

In 2007, installation cost per W: PSE- 4.0$ / CSE -5.8$
electric price per KW·h - PSE - 0.16$ / CSE - 0.20$
effectivenss in electric production - PSE - 10% / CSE - 13%

But in the future, the scenario:

In 2050, installation cost per W: PSE - 1.20$ / CSE - 3.70$
electric price per KW·h - PSE - 0.05$ / CSE - 0.09$
effectivenss in electric production - PSE - 14% / CSE - 17%

Well, to find the better target to our investment assets…

PSE: (14/10)*(0.05/0.16)*(4/1.20)=1.485
CSE: (17/13)*(0.09/0.20)*(5.8/3.70)=0.922

If we consider a linear dependence of all those factors, we have to think that PSP is more profitable than CSE in a factor 1.6 or in 60% in currency terms.

And more. By each point per cent improving effectiveness in PSE(new material photovoltaic) the benefit of our inversion will increase in...

{{1.485-[(1.485)/(14/10)]}/(14-10)}=0.106

effectiveness in PSE(new materials, new circuits, today researchers have developed in laboratory materials until 11.5%) could be expressed in currency terms as follows:

by each porcentual point in solar cell effectiveness, our investments in PSE could be improved in 10.6%.

But if you like more risk in the investments, perhaps you can select industries in solar cells productions. In 2050 the authors hope that 65% of energy in the USA could be generated by Solar Energy. The new market for this firms is incredible and by each point of increasing effectiveness in solar cell, you can get the benefit increased by ten.

Well, best regards from inereus.Bye.

Feynman and Forbes.

Smaller

Do you really think that Mr. Feynman talked about micro-devices and nano-machines, Caltech December, 29 1959, for instance, was thinking in business?

Do you really think that Forbes publishers had passed and elementary exam with Feynman Ph. Dr.?


Well, today Forbes and its reports are tackling the monetary flows to high-tech to get high-profits with small, small technologies thought by Mr. Feynman a long time ago.


Why so many years? We do not why. Perhaps you know. In this moment, please, visit this link to the Forbes High-Tech reports to venture capitalist and investors in high tech. Next days we follow to discuss about what history made with the scientifist creation and advances.



Has ever anybody thought to invest in ideas? Only in ideas? Do you know anybody like this?

Please, post-us its email. We would to be in touch with him. Thanks.

Wow, some is moving in HP. Really

Smarter

We must admit that something (or perhaps somebody) is moving in HP.
Right, the last public presentation of HP Labs and its new targets.

"HP Labs is 42 years old this year. But that doesn't mean it can't act like a startup."

Moreover, the focus on researching just not belong to ancient scientifist. They want join to entrepeuners, universities and venture capitalists. Wow, they do not want act as and great, jurasic and bureaucratic entity as european institutions. They only want think in business terms and tackle the future of innovation in Information Society.

"Banerjee, who took the reins in August 2007, says a reenergized HP Labs will do more high-impact research, turn more of its technologies into successful businesses and collaborate with universities, venture capitalists, customers and others to amplify the work of its 600 researchers. "

Thus, to those investors that are thinking about future, technology and high profits we recommend this link

Perhaps it is a reaction to all new and young net rich-man teenagers?
Why customers had to pay to get a new young rich-man like never have done?
Now, the great enterprises want to control the process of innovation racionalizating it?
Only the time will tell us... By now, my dear investors, look out carefully.
Bye.

A practical rule for efficient investors

Stronger

Well, we are living a veritable problem. By 2010 perhaps current oil system, in other words, all well known tasks in extract, refine and commercializating will fall down. And then only fuell-cells developed today will be able to solve this huge crisis.

We hope that hydrogen fuel-cells will be operating in our cars. BMW next year, or perhaps 2010, is going to launch his new hibryde powered model. With an autonomy of 300 Km aprox. An it will be possible thanks to nanotubes and their great adsortion power.

You can read at http://www.nanowerk.com/nanotechnology/introduction/introduction_to_nanotechnology_15.html

" Fuel Cells
Engineered surfaces are essential in fuel cells, where the external surface properties and the pore structure affect performance. The hydrogen used as the immediate fuel in fuel cells may be generated from hydrocarbons by catalytic reforming, usually in a reactor module associated directly with the fuel cell. The potential use of nano-engineered membranes to intensify catalytic processes could enable higher-efficiency, small-scale fuel cells. These could act as distributed sources of electrical power. It may eventually be possible to produce hydrogen locally from sources other than hydrocarbons, which are the feedstocks of current attention."

Yes, the surfaces of carbon nanotubes, where a great quantity of hydrogen could be lied, that hydrogen will be a reliable fuell at ordinary temperature. If in liquid hydrogen (very dangerous state) you can get 75 g per l. of hydrogen, in carbon nanotubes, you could get 40 g per l. of fuel-cell.
And remembre this practical rule: 1 kg. of hydrogen is the same that 1 oil galon (3,8 l.)

If you are a short time investor and you are thinking in a private-equity, high technology and high, high return, well, we think your opportunity is in nanotube technology.

Can you imagine the return of your investment when all oil system will be in crisis ?

Do not forget visit our pages properly, we will talk about new and emergent technologies and very, very profitable investments.
Thank you for your attention and please, c0mment this site with your peers or your friends. (Sorry, but perhaps in the managers fund investment society, there are not so much friends. But very selected friends, of course)
