The VegaWatt: A $0 BILLION Dollar Waste to Power Invention

Date: Monday, March 15, 2009 The Energy Collective

In this section James discusses why the VegaWatt is a billion dollar opportunity as there are more then 13,000 restaurants in the United States, then you can easily add all the ones in Canada, and Europe to that number and it becomes clear how the VegaWatt is going to be a seriously profitable invention. James is clearly a small, thoughtful, well spoken and amazing inventor. Not only will it be profitable, but it also has a huge environmental and social benefit.

Have fun listening to our discussion!

The $0 Billion Dollar Opportunity

Great Inventions Of 2009: The Vegawatt

Date: Sunday, December 27, 2009 National Public Radio

Host: Guy Raz of the radio show "All Things Considered" on National Public Radio

Restaurants usually pay about $100 a month to dispose of used oil from deep-fryers, but mechanical engineer James Peret of Massachusetts invented a way to turn that oil into energy savings. A small generator called the Vegawatt sits outside the restaurant, filtering out the old bits of food and pumping the clean oil into a system that can cut about $1,000 from a restaurant's utility bill. Guy Raz talks to Peret as part of our series on some of the great inventions of 2009.
