Harsh winter conditions may be easier for Canadians to manage with a new product invented by University of 蓝莓视频 graduates.

鈥淔rost is a major problem for individuals and businesses daily. Not only is it inconvenient but it has an impact on safety and can even hinder economic activity,鈥� said听Abhinay Kondamreddy, a nanotechnology engineering graduate who developed Neverfrost along with three classmates.

Neverfrost is an environmentally-friendly technology that prevents frost, fog, and ice formation. The innovation is the foundation for a new startup, also called Neverfrost.

By spraying听Neverfrost听on a windshield at night, drivers can avoid scraping and defrosting it on cold winter mornings, and clear the windshield simply by running the wipers. The听Neverfrost听technology prevents snow from freezing to the glass as well as fog and frost.听Neverfrost听expects to begin taking pre-orders for the spray with a听Kickstarter听campaign in March.Future plans for听Neverfrost听include incorporating it directly into washer fluids.

Frost and ice create challenges for aircrafts, air conditioning, commercial refrigerators, power lines, and agriculture 鈥� creating future opportunities for the Neverfrost technology.

Kondamreddy is one of two entrepreneurs who continue to further their technologies and startups thanks to a $60,000听. The fellowship is a University of 蓝莓视频 program supported by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario for promising entrepreneurs who want to commercialize their innovations and start high-tech businesses.
