- Description
- NASA�s Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology.� License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use.��NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: Innovators at NASA's Glenn Research Center have developed a lightweight, reliable thermal management system, for both ambient and cryogenic propulsion systems, that increases overall fuel efficiency from 40 to 60 percent. Conventional aircraft propulsion systems struggle to keep high-powered electric motors and electronics cool without resorting to extra mass and complexity that negate the benefits of electric propulsion in aircraft.� Glenn's thermal management system uses the normally wasted energy from turbofan propulsion to cool electronics and power equipment.� The waste heat produces a high-intensity acoustic wave, created from the temperature gradient between the hot and cold heat exchangers.� This acoustic wave energy propagates through thermoacoustic power tubes, where it can be used for component cooling or converted to electric power via a linear alternator.� Glenn's system can provide highly efficient electric power to aircraft components while cooling the aircraft's propulsion system without added mass and complexity. To express interest in this opportunity, please submit a license application through NASA�s Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by visiting https://technology.nasa.gov/patent/LEW-TOPS-110 If you have any questions, please contact NASA Glenn�s Technology Transfer Office at grc-techtransfer@mail.nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this FBO notice and your preferred contact information.� For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at https://technology.nasa.gov/ These responses are provided to members of NASA�s Technology Transfer Program for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities.��No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
