Snow Chain-Integrated Tire for a Safe Drive on Winter Roads
NanoBbioOpto Energy 2007 Winner?
1. NanoBioOpto Energy Corp.
Harnessing the natural power of sunlight via
genetically engineered nano-encapsulated
self-assembled lattices of silicon-hybrid
phytoplankton autonomously processed
and distributed from surface aquatic farms
off the coasts of developing countries
2. The Problem
• Rapid adoption of fossil-fuel energy sources by developing
countries threatens to accelerate atmospheric greenhouse gas
accumulation
• Increased demand for oil from unstable regions exacerbates
political instability while undermining energy independence
• Though accounting for only 5 percent of the world's
population, Americans consume 26 percent of the world's
energy
• Immature transportation and distribution infrastructure in
developing countries cannot support large-scale energy
distribution even if truly sustainable sources are developed
3. The Opportunity
• All truly sustainable energy solutions ultimately must rely on
capturing energy from the sun
• 70% of the sunlight reaching earth’s surface falls on the oceans
• With the exception of coastal territorial waters, the ocean is widely
accepted to be a common resource owned by all mankind
• Capturing and redistributing energy falling on this supranational
commons offers our best hope for a just, equitable and sustainable
future living in harmony with the natural world while reducing our
carbon footprint without damaging the global economy
4. The Breakthrough
Recent advances at MIT’s Center for NanoBioOpto Research,
collaborating with the Koshler Energy Institute, have yielded:
• A novel, patent-pending, self replicating silicon-hybrid life
form based on common strains of phytoplankton
• A nano-encapsulation technique capable of linking rapidly
growing colonies of phytoplankton into self-assembled,
surface-floating structures
• A genetically engineered extraction enzyme excreted by
aquatic plankton symbiots that efficiently separates metabolic
products into ethanol, polypropylene, and free hydrogen
• A robotic modular waste-free self-powered macro-fabrication
facility that can anchor auto-navigating deep-water launch
platforms
5. The Solution!
NanoBioOpto Energy Corp. intends to seed the
worlds’ oceans with self-replicating Planktonic®
solar farms that will autonomously generate and
release ethanol-laden dirigibles capable of
transporting this sustainable and renewable fuel
to the remotest corners of the developing world.

7. Management Team
• Will Azzerf, CEO. Over the past 30 years Mr. Azzerf, a runner-up for
induction into the Inventors Hall of Fame, has pioneered numerous
technology advances including sign-language recognition PDAs,
electronic dust mites, and multi-thousand dollar gyroscopic pedi-
scooters. (Editors note: really, now, who would believe that one?) He
pledges to invest all his prior profits into NanoBioOpto.
• Marle Karx, CSO. Dr. Karx is a Harvard Institutionalized Professor
for Interdisciplinary Social Studies with a joint appointment at MIT’s
Media Lab. A frequent collaborator of Moan Chompski, Marle has
devoted his career to undoing the work of all profit makers and their
capitalist running dogs.
• Carley Chievous CFO. Formerly with Arthur Anderson responsible
for the Sunbeam, Enron, and WorldCom accounts, Miss Chievous
brings a lifetime of integrity to the company, along with some valuable
Polaroid photos of leading congressional legislators.
8. Funds Needed
• A modest Series A financing of $135M will be required to
complete scientific development and construct a proof-of-
concept prototype
• A sure-to-win MIT $100k proposal will be submitted as a
backup plan as soon as we imagine how plankton might cure
cancer
• Quick action is required! This round may already be
oversubscribed as strong interest has been expressed by well
known first-year associates at numerous top-tier venture
capital firms
