Typically salts and sand are used for deicing driveways and sidewalks. Deicing of automobile windshields is accomplished by application of deicing fluids. Unfortunately, repeated use of such substances causes surface corrosion and groundwater pollution. UpWave offers an environment friendly, energy efficient, handheld optoelectronic deicing system developed by former lead staff optical scientist on Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of Department of Defense (DoD) sponsored projects. Their proprietary technology enables the deicing of a desired surface in few seconds under extreme weather conditions and does not require use of chemicals or salt. Check out their social media below!
