AMIE 1.0
A Demonstration Project Integrating how we generate, use, and store energy
Energy is consumed every day as we drive our vehicles and live in our dwellings. Historically, these two energy streams have existed independently – until now.
Meet AMIE - the Additive Manufacturing Integrated Energy demonstration project. AIME is a combination of a 3D-printed house and a 3D-printed car that wirelessly share renewable energy. Each component feeds the other, enabling the system to run entirely off the grid if necessary. Because they’re made using additive manufacturing, the house and car could be replicated with minimal waste, and could even be recycled by breaking down the materials and using them to print something else.
The AMIE project changes the way we think about generating, storing, and using electrical power.
