25 proyectos tecnológicos que se han convertido en una referencia internacional

Cuando se habla de un/a emprendedor/a en serie, la verdad es que no piensas que tenga 25 años. Piensas más en alguien de 40, como poco. Liz Wessel, fundadora de WayUp, una plataforma para buscar prácticas y empleo a universitarios, montó antes dos negocios, cuando todavía estaba en la universidad. ¿Qué puso en marcha? Un sistema de descuentos para estudiantes en restaurantes locales (UniEats) y un servicio que buscaba a evangelistas de grandes marcas entre los estudiantes de un campus (Campus Reps).Cuando pones esto en un curriculum, lo normal es que termines trabajando en Google, lo que ocurrió. Pero como las otras historias de emprendedoras que te hemos contado, tampoco Google consiguió retener a Wessel.

This High Concentration Photovoltaic Thermal System (HCPVT) can harness the energy of 2,000 suns and provide fresh water and air conditioning in remote locations. The prototype HCPVT system under development uses a large parabolic dish, made from a multitude of mirror facets, which is attached to a tracking system that determines the best angle based on the position of the sun. Once aligned, the sun’s rays reflect off the mirror onto several microchannel-liquid cooled receivers with triple junction photovoltaic chips – each 1x1 centimeter chip can convert 200-250 watts, on average, over a typical eight hour day in a sunny region.

A fully transparent solar cell that could make every window and screen a power source | Extreme Tech

Researchers at Michigan State University have created a fully transparent solar concentrator, which could turn any window or sheet of glass (like your smartphone’s screen) into a photovoltaic solar cell. Unlike other “transparent” solar cells that we’ve reported on in the past, this one really is transparent, as you can see in the photos throughout this story. According to Richard Lunt, who led the research, the team are confident that the transparent solar panels can be efficiently deployed in a wide range of settings, from “tall buildings with lots of windows or any kind of mobile device that demands high aesthetic quality like a phone or e-reader.”

Scientifically, a transparent solar panel is something of an oxymoron. Solar cells, specifically the photovoltaic kind, make energy by absorbing photons (sunlight) and converting them into electrons (electricity). If a material is transparent, however, by definition it means that all of the light passes through the medium to strike the back of your eye. This is why previous transparent solar cells have actually only been partially transparent — and, to add insult to injury, they usually they cast a colorful shadow too.

To get around this limitation, the Michigan State researchers use a slightly different technique for gathering sunlight. Instead of trying to create a transparent photovoltaic cell (which is nigh impossible), they use a transparent luminescent solar concentrator (TLSC). The TLSC consists of organic salts that absorb specific non-visible wavelengths of ultraviolet and infrared light, which they then luminesce (glow) as another wavelength of infrared light (also non-visible). This emitted infrared light is guided to the edge of plastic, where thin strips of conventional photovoltaic solar cell convert it into electricity.

GABRIELE DIAMANTI HOPES TO SEE LOCAL CRAFTSMEN ALL OVER THE WORLD ADAPT HIS DESIGN.

“Projects ‘for the 90%’ mostly fall somewhere between two extremes: charity and business,” designer Gabriele Diamanti tells Co.Design. “Neither was my inspiration!” Instead, spurred on by his own extensive travel and friends’ involvement in NGOs, he developed a fascination with global water scarcity as a graduate student at Milan Polytechnic in 2005; he recently decided to pursue his interest again and the result is Eliodomestico, an open-source variation on a solar still.

It functions by filling the black boiler with salty sea water in the morning, then tightening the cap. As the temperature and pressure grows, steam is forced downwards through a connection pipe and collects in the lid, which acts as a condenser, turning the steam into fresh water. Once Diamanti established the fundamentals were sound, he experimented with a series of concepts for the aesthetic of the object. “My goal was to design something friendly and recognizable for the users,” he explains. “The process developed quite naturally to determine the current shape; every detail is there for a reason, so the form, as well as production techniques, represent a compromise between technical and traditional.” Primary field studies in sub-Saharan Africa revealed the habit of carrying goods on the head–also a common practice in other areas around the world–and this was integrated into Eliodomestico’s plan. And while solar stills aren’t a totally new concept, Diamanti says it’s rare to find them in a domestic context rather than in missions or hospitals, or as large plants overseen by qualified personnel that serve entire communities. “I tried to make something for a real household that could be operated directly by the families,” he says.

The project recently won a Core77 Design Award for Social Impact; already, Diamanti has received international feedback, and hopes to see locals adapt and modify the design to take advantage of their own readily available materials and native environments. “The idea is that instructions for the project can be delivered to craftsmen” with the help of NGOs, he says, then a micro-credit program could be established to finance small-scale start-ups specializing in production. “So the NGO is the spark, micro-credit is the fuse, the local craftsmen are the bomb!”

How to choose the right software developers for a Startup Project

At some point of their lives some people decide to launch his own product.

Due to the momentum gained by the digital affair, we have high chances it will be a digital project.

But usually a startupper is someone coming from a business school, or an economy related field, and his vision about the development cost of his idea is usually distant from the reality.

If you are a startupper without a technical background the worst idea you can have at this point is that you need a bunch of rockstar developers or worst to hire an external company.

Digital media capabilities can distract founders from their first goal: learn how to manage a company.

When you work from the first moment with talented people anything seems simple: seo, feature production, analitic tools, logic problems spotting, tech recruitment, automation.

In this case you are developing your idea at a non sustainable rythm, for a simple reason: 30 nerds again 3 nerds doesn’t scale at all.

The worst become if you hire an external company for freelances “furniture” o advisoring: in this case you are really building nothing, being that you will not have mastered any production matter.

Production metters solved are the real value in a Startup Project.
