At just the touch of a button, your wholebody<br />

experiences thermal comfort. Unlike<br />

ordinary cooling & heating products, the<br />

thermal sensations that EMBR Wave<br />

creates are immediate, precise, &<br />

effective i.e. by conduction, waveforms and<br />

personalization.<br />

CONDUCTION:-Unlike A.C or heaters where<br />

the cooling/warming effect is mediated<br />

through the air, the EMBR wave is at direct<br />

contact with your skin.<br />

Hot Solar Cells!<br />

By converting heat to focused beams of light, a<br />

new solar device could create cheap and<br />

continuous power.<br />

Solar panels cover a growing number of<br />

rooftops, but even decades after they were first<br />

developed, the slabs of silicon remain bulky,<br />

expensive, and inefficient. Fundamental<br />

limitations prevent these conventional<br />

photovoltaics from absorbing more than a<br />

fraction of the energy in sunlight. But a team of<br />

MIT scientists has built a different sort of solar<br />

energy device that uses inventive engineering<br />

and advances in materials science to capture far<br />

more of the sun’s energy and demonstrated a<br />

device based on a method that enables solar<br />

cells to break through a theoretically predicted<br />

ceiling on how much sunlight they can convert<br />

into electricity.<br />

WAVEFORMS:-The EMBR Wave then<br />

delivers waves of temperature, to<br />

influence your nervous system’s natural<br />

response to temperature changes.<br />

PERSONALISATION:-You can control the<br />

change of the temperature according to your<br />

requirements.<br />

Ever since 1961 it has been known that there is<br />

an absolute theoretical limit, called the<br />

Shockley-Queisser Limit. But MIT scientist<br />

Bierman says, “with solar thermophotovoltaics<br />

you have the possibility to exceed that limit. In<br />

fact, theory predicts that in principle this<br />

method, which involves pairing conventional<br />

solar cells with added layers of high-tech<br />

materials, could more than double the<br />

theoretical limit of efficiency, potentially<br />

"Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." - T.S. Eliot
