ICE
Ice is one of the most beautiful properties of nature, yet its
complexity has long confounded mankind. No longer. We have
deciphered the secrets and decoded the details. Man’s interface
with ice has changed...forever.
At ICECODE™, we cracked it. Now our goal is to unleash the power
of ice to benefit all people.
TECHNOLOGY
We hold numerous US and foreign patents related to several
advanced core technologies, and in particular those associated
with Variable Resistance Conductors (VRC), Pulse Electro-Thermal
De-Icing (PETD), and others.
POWER LINES & ICECODE™
The news headline repeats itself regularly: “ice storm downs power
lines”. During the 1998 North American ice storm, ice-encrusted lines
collapsed leaving millions without power and costing billions in losses,
all due to icing. Ice and snow cause about 25% of power outages.
Distribution and transmission lines today carry much more power than
their original design capacity. While this ‘over-capacity’ produces excess
heat, which serves as an unintended anti-icer, the energy loss is
immense. Over-capacity lines lose billions through energy and heat
dissipated into the environment. Power grids could “size-up” the
transmission lines, allowing the line to run cooler and not waste
electricity and money...yet the new, cooler lines will be more suscep-
tible to icing than ever before.

VRC is ICECODE™ technology that allows a conductor of electric
power to have high or low resistance, thereby allowing for
de-icing and anti-icing applications. It quickly shifts a conductor’s
resistance from low to high and back again, offering significant
benefits: dramatic energy savings, improved safety, greater
reliability and reduced maintenance.
Power grids need a simple means to prevent icing
while saving energy and preventing loss.
