Solar Roadways - Introduction We are excited to announce that Indiegogo has asked us to join their InDemand program: It allows teams to continue raising funds for their projects. We are very excited about this for many reasons: We've had numerous requests since our original campaign ended: "Can I still donate?", "Can I still get a Solar Roadways perk?", "I'd love to be a part of this movement", etc. Many people hadn't even heard about Solar Roadways until after the campaign had ended. We're still in Research & Development, so we're not making a profit yet. We received donations from 165 countries, which is a clear indication that the world is ready for the paradigm shift Solar Roadways will become. Since our original campaign, countless supporters have expressed what it means to them to help us spread the word.

Could Plastic “Lego” Roads Pave The Way To A Greener Future? Some adults never “grow up,” and it seems that these engineers still have their minds in the toy box. They have designed “road blocks” that are like enormous Lego pieces, able to be snapped in and out of place easily. Even better, they're designed to be made from recycled plastic dredged from the oceans. The road to success is always under construction. The city of Rotterdam in the Netherlands is teaming up with the company VolkerWessels to create prototype plastic roads. Naturally, when designing roadways that would reasonably support hundreds or even thousands of cars a day, structural integrity would be a concern. A design of PlasticRoad. The prefabricated roads would be made in a factory, transported to the installation site and then slotted into place. This project is ambitious and it may be years before we find out if the pre-fabricated plastic is road-worthy and can replace traditional tar and asphalt roads. Report of recycled plastic used in roads in India.

GoSun Grill: A Breakthrough Solar Oven that Cooks at Night by Patrick Sherwin Risks and challenges Timeline: We refuse to compromise on the quality of our products. During the manufacturing process of the GoSun Sport in early 2014, we established an extensive quality assurance plan, which caught some mistakes, and in turn, delayed the fulfillment of our product for months. We’ve learned to be extremely accurate and completely transparent with our backers regarding the latest developments. Shipping: The GoGun Grill is going to need additional package design and engineering to ensure safe transport to your home. This is entirely GoSun's concern since you’re covered with a Two-Year No Questions Asked Warranty on the evacuated tube. Battery Costs: We have not fully defined our costs on the Thermal Battery encapsulation vessel and production costs. Social Media Sharing: As a small start-up business, we depend heavily on the word-of-mouth and enthusiasm of our customers. Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Blue Freedom | The World's Smallest Hydropower Plant by Blue Freedom LLC Risks and challenges The first prototypes were crafted by hand, and their numerous parts tested for efficient operation. We are now in contact with various suppliers for the production of individual parts and with a network of international shippers to ensure we will be able to make deliveries by our deadline. The process of taking a technical device from prototype to mass production is involved. Unexpected situations may arise due to a supplier missing a deadline, for example, or technical problems of the supply chain for the mass production. This can cause a deadline not being met. We have prepared ourselves as best as possible for these unforeseen situations. Remember, if we don't reach our goal we won't get funded, and no one will get to use Blue Freedom.
