Our Active Labs
Artificial Intelligence
B
At StarckGate, we believe that AI can provide new ways of approaching problems and meaningfully improve people’s lives. With AI, we have another tool to explore and address hard, unanswered questions. What if people could predict natural disasters before they happen.Better protect endangered species. Or track disease as it spreads, to eliminate it sooner.
ECO Vertical Farming
Closed System
C
Our vision is to create the ultimate digital farmer. The digital farmer uses software, A.I., machine vision, and data driven technologies that improve yield, quality and predictability of supply. More importantly – everything is at their fingertips.
Solutions should also be affordable, accessible, scalable and relatively easy-to-use and that innovation should be achieved within 12 months (not 12 years).
Producers and growers face a future that is full of uncertainty, with many factors that they can’t control.
StarckGate's goal is to make the unpredictable, predictable. And the complex, seem simple.
HYDROGEN propelled Ship Engine
F
Using hydrogen fuel cells as a means of eco-friendly ship propulsion is on the agenda of a growing number of tech leaders and shipping owners. But just how far could this trend go? StarckGate Labs started a feasibility study about this and created the hydrogen propelled ship engine lab
NEW INLAND SHIPPING
H
Leading technology for sustainable inland shipping
These are exciting times for inland shipping. With our partner PortLiner we are proud of our achievements so far and thrilled by the challenges we see for the future.
We invite you to be part of our journey.
We believe that the innovative projects we are working on, as well as our plans for future development will bring completely new standards of quality and customer satisfaction in the field of inland transport along rivers and canals
AEROGEL
I
One of the best known and most useful physical properties of aerogel is its incredible lightness-it typically has a density between 0.0011 to 0.5 g cm-3, with a typical average of around 0.020 g cm-3. This means that aerogel is usually only 15 times heavier than air, and has been produced at a density of only 3 times that of air. It is so light, that if Michelangelo’s David was constructed from aerogel, it would weigh about the same as a bag of sugar! For many years, aerogel was in the Guinness book of world records as the ‘solid with the lowest density’, before being ousted recently by the metallic microlattice and then aerographite.
This far from renders aerogel redundant however, as it has a further 14 world records to its name, including ‘best insulator’. Further desirable properties of aerogel are listed below, with some of these properties also the best known to man.
