Telsa batteries included
When you think of ground-breaking green technology, Tesla inevitably comes to mind—and now, their innovations are benefitting the film industry too!
Production has long struggled with its heavy reliance on temporary power and the environmental impact has largely been ignored. Generators using fossil fuels add significantly to CO2 emissions, posing a challenge for sustainable productions and crew.
Enter the 10kWh Orb, a game-changing solution aimed at addressing this very issue by providing a cleaner, more sustainable alternative to the traditional 6kW petrol generator.
And these aren't just regular batteries; through the innovation of our team, these are 2nd-life Tesla modules.
Local COLLABORATION
At the heart of the 10kWh Orb is a commitment to supporting local businesses. Each unit is meticulously crafted with many key components sourced from nearby companies, ensuring that the economic benefits of this green technology stay within the community. Richard, our dedicated engineer, with his expertise and passion spends countless hours perfecting each Orb battery.
Initially OnBio worked with Dan Horstman from Blue Dolphin (UK) Ltd over several years, to design, develop and build the first Orb prototypes. Felix Haeffner from Priestmangoode assisted with the styling of the final design, along with a heap of locally sourced skills and parts, has resulted in a product that is not just effective and reliable but also rooted in sustainability.
The Unique Power of Orb Batteries
What sets the 10kWh Orbs apart is their unique blend of innovation and sustainability.
We've harnessed the energy of second-hand Tesla batteries and combined them with a high-performance inverter, leading to impressively fast charging times of just 1.5 hours. The result is a reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly power solution that is not only convenient but also significantly reduces emissions.
By repurposing these high-performing modules, we are reducing the need for new raw materials, avoiding the environmentally harmful materials extraction process from the water needed in mining and the CO2 emissions associated with new battery fabrication. So with minimal impact on our world’s resources, we have created a powerful, emission-free solution tailored specifically for the demanding needs of the film industry.
When it comes to batteries, WE WOULDN’T BET AGAINST Elon Musk
While Tesla's advancements in battery technology are undeniable, Orb batteries offer a unique twist.
We've taken the best of what Tesla has to offer and enhanced it with our own framework and design. The result is a battery that's not only powerful, portable and easy to use, but also environmentally responsible. We think it looks great too!
Remember, by choosing Orb, you're not just powering your production; you're making a statement for sustainability and innovation. Don't miss out on the future of green energy.
