Perryman Technologies Information

Virgil Perryman is the founder of and inventor behind Perryman Technologies. Virgil has had an extensive career that has culminated in the development of key patents in the areas of collection, storage, and application of thermal energy. These patents protect the technology used in the Perryman Troughs, Dishes, Perryman Micro Panels, Perryman Battery™, Non-Combustion Gas Turbines and the many globally important applications of these technologies. Virgil has worked in large international corporations as well setting up companies around the world involved in initiatives such as solar energy, housing for indigenous people, fuel from wild sago and cassava, geothermal and wind power systems to generate heat and electricity, oil shipping and refining, off-grid refrigeration facilities, solar based food drying systems, telecommunications, and waste-to-energy projects. Virgil is a problem solver by nature and over his career he has lectured and engaged in collaborative research with many universities including MIT, Russian Academy of Science, and COMPS at the University of the Witwatersrand. Virgils technical specialty is the science of how elements behave and interact at very high temperatures. This has led to the ultimate energy storage system; the Perryman Battery™, which uses metal with high heat capacity in its molten state and can store in the larger batteries billions of joules of energy. Further, it can store this energy for months if not years until required. Virgil has also developed a reflective film that captures energy from both visible light and thermal from the infrared spectrum that can heat the metal in the battery to around 1650oC. Virgils full spectrum collectors can operate economically in nearly all locations globally, and certainly in many areas of the planet where conventional solar thermal and PV just does not work. This technology can be used to provide clean, renewable, low-cost energy for electricity, heating, cooling, water management, transportation, food and material production and many ...
