Making a More Efficient Hot Water Heater – Tiago Bandeira – Ep 116

Making a More Efficient Hot Water Heater – Tiago Bandeira – Ep 116 Tiago Bandeira is the founder of Klugit Company. His first product is an electric hot water heater. The problem is that a regular hot water heater does a constant on off cycle due to heat loss. This cycling wastes a lot of energy. We talk about how he started this company while working at Bosch, which is ironically a company I used to work for. Bosch sponsored this project and didn’t take any equity. A very strange thing to hear but great for Tiago. Tiago also ran a kickstarter campaign to prove the concept and that went very well. Number one tip: Go for it. It is normal to feel that you are not good enough. Contact info: https://klugitenergy.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiagosbandeira/

Om Podcasten

Hi this is Scott Tarcy and welcome to the Engineering Entrepreneur Podcast I’m a mechanical engineer and the president of CADdesignhelp.com. My company does CAD work and prototyping. I love designing and inventing products and creating businesses around that activity. There are many podcasts out there about entrepreneurship and a few about inventing, but I have yet to find a podcast specifically about the engineering and technical side of entrepreneurship Since I couldn’t find the exact podcast that interests me as a design engineer and entrepreneur, I decided to go out and create it myself My strategy with this podcast is to interview engineers, designers and inventors who have created businesses around their inventions and products I specifically want to focus on the engineering and design side of their products and inventions
