We will be offering engine-generator units capable of providing electricity from a wide range of heat inputs. The initial units will be sized for cottages and homes, with multiple customizable heat inputs so the units can be powered by options like wood, waste, propane, diesel, and others depending on the customers' needs.
The expansion to larger units will proceed afterwards to include power for communities and commercial/industrial facilities (especially those with waste heat). The engines are designed to be scalable, so the size can be flexible to accommodate specific customer needs.
The engine that powers our engine-generator units is a new type of Stirling engine that features our innovative True Cycle technology developed at Ontario Tech University. The efficiency of our Stirling engines is substantially higher than other engines, so we are able to use heat sources at lower temperatures. Since our engines can use lower temperature sources and are externally heated, they can be powered by a wide range of heat sources such as wood (and other plants), solar thermal, household waste, waste heat, biofuels, propane (and other fuels), and many more.
We are currently building and testing prototype engines and working towards developing our commercial engine-generators for sale. The testing is focused on reliability and robustness with different heat sources. There are two patents pending for our innovative True Cycle engine designs.
Ekstera Inc. is a power equipment company founded in March 2019. Our base of operations is in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. We are a member of the Brilliant Catalyst and the Spark Centre.
Our technology has received funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Idea to Innovation Grant, the Department of National Defence’s (DND) Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) Program, Transport Canada, and the Firefly Fund.
Electricity has become expensive, unreliable, and harmful to the environment. We are empowering our customers to have control over their electricity needs. The freedom to use any heat source give our customers access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable electricity! If you have wood on your property, you can use that! If you have access to biodiesel or propane, you can also use them! If you want to use a solar concentrator, you can also use that! There are so many possibilities for generating electricity from heat sources. Our customers can be independent from the electrical grid and in control of their electricity needs!
Since you can use a wide range of heat sources to power our engine-generators, you can select the ones that are the cheapest. So whether you have a lot of wood, or the sun is shining, or certain fuels have dropped in price, you can take advantage and generate affordable electricity.
With our engine-generators you won't have to rely on the grid anymore for your electricity. Ekstera technology provides you with electricity generation from a wide range of heat sources that you can count on in any conditions.
You have the freedom to choose sustainable heat sources to power our engine-generators, and generate your electricity in a sustainable way. For example, you could use solar thermal energy, or burn plant material such as wood, which is part of a carbon neutral cycle. There are many options for heat sources that provide a sustainable way to generate your electricity.
The ability to use a number of different heat sources to power our engine-generators also means you can use the ones that are readily available and most convenient. You can use whatever you have available to generate electricity. Therefore, Ekstera generators can generate electricity at any location from the most remote to urban settings
The ability to use a number of different heat sources to power our engine-generators also means you can use the ones that are readily available and most convenient. You can use whatever you have available to generate electricity. Therefore, Ekstera generators can generate electricity at any location from the most remote to urban settings and are ideal for off-grid homes, cabins, cottages, tiny houses, and more.
Our Stirling engine technology is naturally quiet because the engines are externally heated. Our engines do not have a repetitive combustion ignition occurring within pistons, so there is virtually no noise during operation. This means you can generate your electricity while maintaining a peaceful and quiet location.
Ekstera technology enables you to attain independence from the electrical grid and from fuels. The ability to use a wide-range of readily available heat sources means that you can have electricity at your location and be completely independent.
