Prototype
Regenesis has developed and tested a working prototype which demonstrates a consistent and repeatable generation of energy captured from otherwise wasted air flow, with minimal resistance or impact to the host unit. The University of Arizona conducted a research study to prove the science behind the patented system and the prototype has undergone extensive testing to demonstrate a 12% capture of usable electricity. Kinetic law states that up to 38% can ultimately be captured. There is great potential to be realized! Regenesis is seeking partners to optimize the prototype into a commercially viable product for the global marketplace.

University of Arizona Research Study
This research study was conducted in partnership with the University of Arizona to test and validate the science backing the Regenesis waste air flow capture system. This study was primarily focussed on airflow and loss to the existing system. The study proved that the Regenesis waste air flow capture system is viable and documented a 5-29% capture of the input power to the system with the optimal at 12% where the Regenesis system is most airflow and power effecient in this specific test environment (refer to Page 32).
This data sheet documents the tests of the working prototype developed and tested by Regenesis to demonstrate a consistent and repeatable capture of usable electricity.
Scope
Regenesis is seeking engineering guidance to further develop Regenesis into a commercially viable product that could be licensed to a large HVAC or refrigeration manufacturer, or have the specific requirements to pursue manufacturing independently.
​
The backbone of our patent is blade design. Our research showed, that a counter clockwise rotating puller blade would create higher revolutions when facing the clockwise rotating blade of the exhaust fan. A push and pull effect, but in unison. In addition, by retrofitting a more efficient propulsion blade to the motor, we found that a further advantage was achieved. It appears that a character is being patterned where both blades work together, to not only keep airflow moving, but also create torque. With this principle in place, revolutions of the generator are rapid and efficient for the production of usable electricity. Almost like the electric motor and generator are attached shaft to shaft. We observe that a wind vortex has occurred. We believe this is the Bernoulli effect.
Development to Date
By trial and error, we have mated a charge controller with a generator and been able to most efficiently capture 12% of the input power used to produce the waste air flow. The usable electricity is being stored in batteries, and the Regenesis waste air flow capture system appears to have no effect on the performance of the heat pump, which continues to cycle on and off normally.
In addition, we found in testing, that there was a slight decrease in the consumption of power of the electric motor of the unit. By placing the waste air flow capture unit at a "sweet spot" proximity to the wind source, the amount of amperage drawn by the electric motor decreased slightly, further showing a vortex effect. This was a surprise of course, considering scientific law, and that "you can't get something for nothing." We are interested in knowing what is happening in these experiments. We believe that we are observing the Bernoulli effect.
