LAZERTHRUST Limited is a Marine Technology development company that has necessarily diversified in to renewable energy solutions as a consequence of the last 5 years unprecedented global disruption.Our development approach applies engineering ignorance and new manufacturing technology, at a product management level, to difficult problems (Our core objective is to develop a 3D Printed Supercavitating Marine Craft that can travel from Norwich to Amsterdam in 2 hours on no stored energy).Our approach is designed to produce genuinely unique Innovation.Increasingly we are seeing this unconventional approach works and consequently in both Marine and Renewable Energy technology, pre-existing IP is sparse where we are establishing products.Having stood up a successful, circular volume production 3D printing capability serving Water Utilities in 2018 and looking for some solid ground in the complete absence of a marine leisure market we were approached by a major water utility early in to COVID lockdowns with a unique problem.They needed to power equipment at the edge of their water network where it was difficult and expensive to provision power to boost water pressure to comply with regulations. A large fine was frequently accepted as the lesser of two evils as a technology solution did not exist.Using our approach of applying new technology and engineering ignorance to difficult problems, we rationalised a solution to power delivery using a combination of Vertical and Horizontal Solar panels forming all major outer faces of a given equipment enclosure; maximising indirect solar radiation at a time the energy was most valuable (winter) at the cost of 5-10% of possible summer maximums.This solution has been prototyped, developed and implemented in the field and performed better than expected, providing the basis for what is a growing data set on the year round performance of Vertical Solar Stations with a growing UK Utility deployment footprint.The Vertical Solar Station technology approach is now Patent Pending in the UK and has key advantages over conventional renewables architectures:* 3x the energy yield in the same ground footprint.* Improved and Consistent winter performance.* Allows you to secure, power and protect enclosed equipment.The project we propose provides the basis to both enhance our valuable IP in the form of a Global Patent application with supporting searches as well as developing a specific embodiment of a Vertical Solar Station to service a market need for which we have both good access and proximity.
