  1. Energy Systems ATLAS | “your world on our shoulders” IAN HAMILTON & JOSH AUGER | OCTOBER 2013

  2. “…to design and develop a novel technology for an energy conversion power source.”

  3. Concentrated Distributed Microgrids • Separation and decentralization of power distribution • Guard against power consumption fluctuations • Clean energy

  4. Current Microgrid Technologies • Wind Turbines • Expensive set-up • Large scale implementation • Monitoring and maintenance • Unsteady output Fuel Cells Cost efficiency Scale up size limitations Fuel cost and availability • Solar Cells • Conditional use • High unit cost • Fragility

  5. Durability Longevity ? Independence

  6. the Atlas Energy System

  7. The Atlas Energy Cell • Energy conversion device • Radioactive decay energy • Stable by-products • Long-lasting power supply • Minimal interaction post-manufacture • Scalable for applications

  8. Development Entrance Market • From 2001 to 2011: $17 Billion spent on energy • 2013: $1.4 Billion put into energy research

  9. Commercial End Market Concentrated Distributed Microgrids • Energy Supplier  Distributor Consumer • Target: Energy Suppliers • Current market value: $8.3 Billion • $40 Billion by EOY 2020

  10. Financial Estimations Single Atlas Energy Cell Size: 10cm x 10cm x 1cm Cost: $50 Output: 26 W Cost efficiency: $1.92/Watt Full Atlas Energy System 384,616 units Output: 10 MW System volume: 2,730 ft3

  11. Progress To Date • Proof-of-concept prototype • Technology concept validation • Dr. Allen Garner, Purdue Nuclear Engineering • Existent patent searches

  12. Future Milestones • $5,000 for additional validation testing • $10,000 for scaled microgrid prototype • Establish resource partnerships • Procure professor advisors
