Rebound Technologies

Crunchbase Website Twitter Facebook Linkedin

Rebound Technology is rethinking refrigeration through tailored, thermally-driven heat pump architectures that provide efficient, practical, and cost-effective global solutions. Its tailored development approach enables dramatic improvement over the one-size-fits-all, state-of-the-art by utilizing renewable resources, waste heat capture, energy storage, and simple, low-cost construction.

Rebound is currently developing two unique and potentially transformative technologies. IcePoint is a refrigeration cycle with embedded thermal energy storage, designed to save supermarkets 60% on their low-temperature cooling costs.

SunChill is an ultra-low-temperature thermal cycle, designed for developing world agricultural applications, to convert 50C solar thermal energy into 10C refrigeration using locally sourced materials. Each technology represents a departure from the one-size-fits-all energy approach of the 20th century and instead focuses on tailored technologies that solve smaller problems better.

This path reduces the cost of renewable/efficient systems by at an order of magnitude while at the same time growing self-sustaining businesses that create jobs without reliance on government incentives. It is currently funded by US Federal Government research grants..

2B Technology

Crunchbase Website Twitter Facebook Linkedin

2B Technologies is dedicated to the development and commercialization of new analytical instruments for atmospheric and environmental measurements. They specialize in miniaturized instruments for measurements of ozone (O3), nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), mercury (Hg; under development), and other chemical species in air.

The photo to the right shows their Model 202 Ozone Monitor and their Personal Ozone Monitor (POM) sitting atop a conventional ozone monitor. Their Model 202 was originally developed out of the need for the University of Colorado research group of co-founder Dr.

John Birks to make vertical profiling measurements of ozone on kites and balloons where measurements using conventional ozone monitors are impossible. The POM represents another advance in miniaturization and portability.

Their small, lightweight, low-power instruments are now used for atmospheric measurements using balloons, kites, UAVs, research aircraft, and at many remote sites, including Antarctica, the Galapagos Islands, the Greenland ice sheet, the summit of Mont Blanc, the Amazon rain forest, on buoys in the Arctic Ocean, on commercial airliners, in many U.S. National Parks and at numerous other locations throughout the world.

More than 1,700 of Their Model 202 and Model 205 Ozone Monitors, over 140 POMs, and more than 4,100 total instruments have been sold since the year 2000, with about half of their instruments going to researchers outside the U.S. More than 500 scientific papers have been published that cite use of 2B Tech instruments, and those papers have been cited more than 7,000 times by other researchers..
