“BC” Power Proposed to Replace AC and DC

August 17, 2016 by Jeff Shepard

Technology firm Inventi has announced its patented xPath™ technology, the first in a series of "hardware smart" innovations, is ready for prime time. Now, the company is looking for a forward-thinking firm willing to start a joint venture, or to purchase the intellectual property outright, as part of building out the hardware within their own product families and jumpstarting a revolution in electric power efficiency and safety.

xPath technology makes energy delivery systems significantly more efficient by eliminating the electromagnetic field byproduct created by ac and dc power. This byproduct produces electrical friction, in turn generating heat. Simple physics explains that heat represents lost energy; how many dollars are wasted this way is impossible to know precisely, but it's a huge number – and utility companies consider this "acceptable losses." xPath technology modifies the hardware of standard power transformers to instead produce "Balanced Current," or BC power. A hardware smart transformer delivers BC power on demand without the EM field byproduct, which conserves energy and recaptures lost dollars.

"This innovation will turn the energy conversion process in today's transformers from a cost center to a profit center, meaning the technology pays for itself over time," explains Inventi CEO and Founder Gary Davi. "Independent testing has demonstrated that Veactor xPath technology requires up to 30% less power than the most efficient power supply device available today."

xPath technology has many applications in today's high-tech industries, where future-ready solutions are in high demand. For instance, data centers accounted for 2 percent of U.S. energy consumption in 2014 – a huge opportunity for savings. Modern devices like computers or electric vehicles require power to be converted from ac to dc, a process that produces energy-robbing heat and shortens hardware life. Balanced Current, on the other hand, can supply energy on demand to both ac and dc devices.

In addition to rapid ROI, xPatâ„¢ technology is also the safest energy delivery system ever conceived. Electrocution is a significant risk with ac and dc power, and the heat from electrical friction represents a fire hazard. xPatâ„¢ technology eliminates both of these issues.
