About KiNRG:
Over the past decade KiNRG, Inc., the “Company” has used its resources to develop and refine a means to generate massive amounts of carbon free electricity with no residual waste.
Originating from many man years of studies done at the Technion University in Israel decades ago, but without the advantages of today’s meteorological data capture capability, sophisticated software modeling, modern construction techniques, and enhanced construction materials, the Technion was unable to facilitate an economic model that was stable, viable, and sustainable. Our organization completed the refinements of this wonderful beginning, tested, prototyped and patented the finished generating facility capable of producing energy that is significantly more efficient, cost effective, and reliable than either traditional solar or wind. A clean power source that does not degrade over years, that is safe for wildlife and birds, and complimentary to the ecosystem has arrived.
KiNRG, Inc. has worked diligently with qualified and experienced management to bring this novel clean energy solution to market. The efforts have been supported by large successful companies in conjunction with academia. Consultants to the Company include department heads from universities including N.C. State University (Physicist), Penn State University (Meteorology), Georgia Tech (Aerospace & CFD), University of Oklahoma (Meteorology), and Milwaukee School of Engineering (Fluid Dynamics & CFD).
