ZeroFossil, a division of Kova Enterprises Inc., is dedicated to the development of power generation systems that utilize the free energy around us...sun, wind, water, and even human power...without the need for any fossil fuels. From portable, fun power with the JuiceBox to whole-house emergency power with the Integrator, ZeroFossil has a solution for your individual energy needs.
Products
Integrator...Emergency, back-up power for home, office or small off-grid applications such as cabins, barns and garages. The Integrator collects energy through various means then cleans, regulates, stores, and dispenses this energy for virtually any application. With multiple inputs, the Integrator is capable of storing energy derived from solar panels, micro wind turbines, mini hydro-electric turbines, and Bikerators. Pure sine-wave inverter technology allows for the safe operation of sensitive electrical equipment like medical devices, flat screen TVs, and laptop computers while the robust 2,000 watt inverter (3,000 watt max) can also power demanding appliances such as refrigerators, air compressors and microwaves. Keep your food cold while watching the news or listening to the radio for updates on the emergency situation without the need for a gas or diesel generator.
The Integrator, for home or office, is very unique in that any excess power generated gets converted into grid-compatible power and is supplied directly back into your home or office by simply plugging it into any wall outlet. Where other back-up generators sit in a corner collecting dust for most of their existence, the Integrator is constantly working to pay for itself and to keep you prepared without the need for any fossil fuels.
JuiceBox...The ultimate portable energy generator. Designed for the active individual, the JuiceBox is a portable power supply designed for camping, tailgating, concerts, shows and expos or any situation where grid power is unavailable or unwanted. With built-in wheels and a collapsible handle, the JuiceBox collects power from a solar panel or Bikerator and stores this power for future needs. This energy is then dispensed in multiple formats for virtually any application; 120VAC (household current), 12VDC (radio, portable appliances, jump start a car ) and universal USB (charging electronics, smart phones, PDAs). The JuiceBox is robust and rugged and is made to withstand the rigors of everyday use. Just place the solar panel in direct sunlight or pedal your bicycle on the Bikerator and then enjoy the free electricity that you have just created, all without burning any fossil fuels.
Bikerator...a ZeroFossil original. The Bikerator is a 250W bicycle powered generator. Simply place the rear tire of any adult bicycle into the Bikerator stand and start pedaling your way to energy independence. With an average human out put of 150W, the Bikerator generates enough power to run a household refrigerator for several hours from one hour of exercise when used in conjunction with either the JuiceBox or Integrator. The Bikerator supplements solar and wind energy by charging your system when the sun is not available or the wind is not blowing. The JuiceBox and Integrator can store the energy generated from multiple Bikerators along with solar, wind, and hydroelectric simultaneously.
The "Shelby" Hand-Crank Generator...is a specialized product to demonstrate the difference in efficiency between "old school" incandescent, CFL (Compact Florescent) and LED lighting by converting human kinetic energy into electro-mechanical power generation. Used for educational purposes, the Shelby is a simple, user friendly desktop device that allows the participant to experience the energy required (through actual physical activity) to power various forms of lighting. With a see-through design and easy to understand operation, the Shelby is great for schools, home energy audits, or education seminars for utility companies.
About Us
A homegrown, family owned company, ZeroFossil believes in sustainable practices and embraces the paradigm shift in green thinking of our local community. Pittsburgh is often remembered for the smoky days of steel production but has been evolving over the last decade as a model for economic development by embracing sustainable philosophy. With Rails-to-Trails, Riverfront Revitalization and topping the charts in LEED certified buildings, the Pittsburgh region is far ahead of the curve in green energy and conservation. ZeroFossil is proud to be an active member of this growing community.
Why Now?
As our aging electrical grid continues to become less reliable and the potential for natural disasters increases, there is an emerging need for individual energy independence. From solar flares to earthquakes or roaming brown outs to economic collapse, our energy security is becoming less dependable. ZeroFossil offers a unique opportunity for each of us to be prepared.
