2. THE PROBLEM:
Electricity generated by fossil fuels, solar panels,
windmills, biomass and nuclear plants have major
drawbacks. The world’s energy mix needs to be
expanded. A complimentary pollution-free way
to generate supplemental energy is needed.
3. BREAKTHROUGH:
Ion Harvesting Technology - the process of
using patented nanomaterial to harvest the
electric charge of naturally occurring ions in the
atmosphere - offers a way to produce
supplemental clean electricity anywhere on
Earth - day and night.
4. Naturally occurring electrically charged ions are present in the
atmosphere day and night – each carrying an electric charge.
Nature produces airborne ions around the clock.
5. Ion Collectors made of carbon nanomaterial, elevated into the atmosphere
by tethered balloon or in some cases by tower, couple to naturally occurring
electrically charged airborne ions to harvest high voltage electricity day and
night. A conductive tether conveys the harvested electricity to the ground.
No damage is caused to the airborne ions which are free to migrate through
the atmosphere again - available to be charged back up by natural processes.
6. Below is an image of carbon nanomaterial at the microscopic level showing
millions of conductive points and protrusions that readily couple to ions
making it effective at extracting electricity from atmospheric ions. The below
high voltage (over 100,000 volts) was harvested by elevating ion collectors
into the atmosphere during peak ion periods. Clean, non-polluting electricity
from airborne ions.
7. In the below experiments, clean electricity harvested from airborne ions powers
motors, florescent lights, light bulb, electronics, charges batteries and produces
hydrogen & oxygen gas from water demonstrating proof-of-concept.
8. Ion Harvesting + Water = Hydrogen Gas
Proof-of-concept tests have shown Ion Harvesting Technology capable of
producing 3 commodities, ELECTRICITY, HYDROGEN GAS and OXYGEN GAS. This is
the same type hydrogen gas used to fuel the new generation hydrogen powered
cars sold by the world’s largest automaker – Toyota. A global annual market of more
than $2 trillion dollars presently exists for these combined commodities.
9. Vision, research, team work and
investment have yielded proof-of-
concept for Ion Harvesting
Technology, plus 10 patents, with
patent rights pending in 150
countries round the world.
10. Patented in the USA, Russia, China, Canada and Japan
with patents pending in 150 countries worldwide

12. Ion Power Group was awarded a patent on GRAPHENE
for Ion Harvesting + patent pending in 150 countries
• Over 100 times stronger than the equivalent thickness of steel
• The best conductor of electricity of any material at room temperature
• Transparent and flexible
GRAPHENE the ‘Wonder Material’
13. Experiments have shown ion collectors can generate
electricity when attached to a moving vehicle. Patents have
been awarded to Ion Power Group for this concept
including for use on airplanes or any means of transportation
14. Proof-of-concept experiments demonstrate
that Ion Harvesting Technology can produce
three commodities:
1) Electricity
2) Hydrogen Gas
3) Oxygen Gas
A global yearly market of >$2 trillion dollars
exists for these combined commodities
16. Artists conception of Ion Harvesting Technology generating
clean reliable electricity for colonists on Mars, around-the-clock,
day and night and during dust storms.
17. Over US$1,000,000 seed capital was raised, in part,
to help fund the core-research including obtaining
10 patents in the countries colored red with patent
rights pending in 150 countries colored yellow.
18. In Power Group
Ion Power Group teamed with the University of
Central Florida submitted a grant application
to NASA (sbir/sttr) for additional research
funding Jan 20th 2017.
19. In 2015, venture capital groups
invested $1.8 billion in commercial
space startups, which is more than
the last 15 years combined, and
when debt financing is included,
the total is over $2.7 billion
