Patrick Mcnulty Jun 18, 2014 02:18 Member 4 \| Share via:	Proposal contributor Correct Mark you should see the support proposal icon towards the right top of the proposal page... Here is the link to the page.. https://www.climatecolab.org/web/guest/plans/-/plans/contestId/1300201/planId/1307127

However, I'm wondering how this proposal could be made more innovative? I mean, these processes have already found wide applications in the industry. I'm sure the team could further push their limits in finding a novel approach. Let me know how I could help. Regards, Romalino

Thanks for your interest. Also,if you like the proposal can you click the support proposal icon on the top right of the page? :)
Jessica Thompson Jun 20, 2014 06:54 Member 9 \| Share via:	Dear Cyclone, Thank you for the proposal. Can you please compare and contrast more clearly the differences between this technology and standard combined cycle generation technologies? For example http://electrical-engineering-portal.com/an-overview-of-combined-cycle-power-plant Much thanks, Jessica

My idea focuses on extracting energy from other heat sources and making electrical power from them.

Specifically, costing, implementation, and timelines were all rather vague. There were also some questions from two commenters about how novel and innovative this approach is/how it differs from technology that is already employed in existing power plants. Unfortunately the information on the proposal page was not sufficient to address these questions. For future contests, if you could submit a more detailed proposal which more directly 'sells' your approach in terms of its novelty, the niche it could fill, etc. it would be appreciated. In the meantime, we hope that you remain involved with the Climate CoLab community and thank you again for your involvement to date.
