Lightbulb General Electric Contest

Hi All,
General Electric is sponsoring a contest to find and bring to market new RE technologies and solutions. The top prizes are pretty compelling. You can find the main site here;

I reviewed the site a few weeks ago and decided not to list my ideas/prototypes.

Meeting with a patent attorney next week on 2 of my inventions - right now just going after a provisional patents to tie everything up until my testing is completed.

I can't judge you work too much because I can't see a photo of it. But from the description it looks nice. I wish you all the luck.

General Electric and four venture capital funds launched a $200 million contest for innovations in smart grid technology, pledging to use the money to fund development of the winning entries.

Called “Ecomagination Challenge,” the contest invites businesses, entrepreneurs, innovators and students to submit projects with will help renewable energies penetrate the electricity grid, make the grid itself more efficient, or help make energy use in homes more efficient.

“We want to jump-start new ideas and deploy them on a scale that will modernize the electrical grid around the world,” GE chief executive Jeffrey Immelt said in announcing the contest.

The venture capital partners are Emerald Technology Ventures, Foundation Capital, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byer and Rockport Capital.

As examples of areas for innovation, GE cited developments to protect alternative forms of energy during transmission to the grid, to compensate for voltage fluctuations and manage output intermittency.
