QID OY

QID owns proprietary technology which is based on the polarisation of conduction electrons. Directing conduction electrons reduces dissipation in conductors and appliances. The technology reduces energy consumption, improves the efficiency and lowers the operating temperature.

THE COMPANY values

Responsibility for the future – The world must be made better by utilising the increasing amount of information!

Green values – We must end pollution; the carbon footprint can be reduced to create a cleaner world, a better place to live!

Courage to create something new – Everyone can make a difference; the good deeds can be scaled to match the available resources! We must have the courage to question and utilise available information and test results!

History of QID Oy

QID Oy is established to commercialize more than 15 years of research made by the inventors Pekka Saastamoinen, Petteri Koljonen and Reijo Lappalainen. Research has enabled to create a conductor which utilizes normal charge carriers together with polarised electrons. The coating that enables the polarisation is applied on the conductor via an electrochemical process. The coating was developed together with the University of Eastern Finland’s (UEF) Department of Applied Physics. The process has been made ready for production in collaboration with UEF and it is scalable for various types of conductors from the microampere class to power current applications.

This method enables remarkable energy saving for large-scale energy consumers such as operators in the fields of industry, mining and lighting. The improved efficiency reduces the amount of required energy which in turn reduces dissipation and enables a longer service life for appliances.
