Never let it be said that hard work and persistence goes unrewarded. Robert Vancina is the latest example, having won a prestigious Energy Globe Award in recognition of developing a high efficiency clean energy source – a hydrogen-oxygen plasma electrolysis (HOPE) cell.
Robert’s work has come a long way since establishing a bench-top HOPE cell prototype in his garage. After being presented with the Energy Globe Award in April this year, Robert appeared with his HOPE cell on the ABC television programme, The New Inventors, on 6 May 2009. Since then, he has established a website and set up a company, Hope Cell Technologies Pty Ltd, to commercialise his invention. Robert recently completed pre-seed initial investment in a capital raising programme.
According to Energy Globe, the awards “recognise projects from all over the world that conserve our resources, such as energy and water, or that utilise renewable or emission-free forms of energy”.
Many of the projects submitted from 111 countries are funded by governments or aid organisations to make energy available for basic human needs in developing regions of the world. A smaller
number of projects compete for recognition of technical advances.
It is testament to Robert’s success that his self-funded project for a cleaner source of energy prevailed over other government and university-funded energy technology projects.
Griffith Hack assists Robert in protecting intellectual property associated with the HOPE cell technology and appreciates the opportunity to be involved with Robert and his technology.
Griffith Hack would like to congratulate Robert for winning a National Energy Globe Award.
