- ERADICATING POLLUTION IN THE QUEST FOR ENERGY

INNOVATION KEEPS US UP AT NIGHT
CLEAN ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
ARE OVERWHELMING THE GRID
Generating power isn’t the same thing as providing usable power. This problem is occuring around the world – Large
(2-3MW each) wind turbines sit idle in Texas. Gigawatts of solar lies untapped and unutilized on sunny days in India.
Why? The simple answer is; because power management systems are unable to balance the variability of intermittent
renewables like solar and wind, to maintain the necessary frequency and voltage balance. It’s a software problem.
THE WORLD HAS
AN ENERGY PROBLEM
AT IT’S CORE, IT’S
A MATH PROBLEM
More specifically, controlling frequency and voltage in the grid requires software and electronics systems, powered
by advanced mathematics. When power equilibrium is lost, due to too much electricity fed into the grid (a problem
exacerbated by intermittent renewables like solar and wind), in relation to the quantity of power consumed, the resulting
imbalance causes grid systems to go off line, which can produce equipment damage, brownouts, and blackouts.
WHY OTHERS
HAVE NOT SOLVED IT
(Aside from the fact that we are exceptionally skilled at advanced math)
Momentum
They lack the career path or business incentive to disrupt the status quo.
Economics
The decades required to conceive, test and develop transformational technologies.
Academic Momentum
They focus on incremental improvement of current technologies vs pure R&D.
Siloed Skills
They are unable to effectively combine top talent across multiple scientific disciplines.
Plus: Scientific groupthink, bad timing, entrenched corporate interests, misplaced public fear, gaps in available technology, high cost, resource scarcity, personality clashes, lack of financing, resistance to change, complacency, competitive rivalry, misguided policy, lack of vision…
HOW WE DID IT
Strong academic foundations and the application of
foundational, but little understood principles:
foundational, but little understood principles:
MAXWELL’S EQUATIONS, LORENTZ FORCE EQUATION THE LAWS OF FARADAY, AMPÈRE, AND GAUSS.
Plus advanced expertise across multiple disciplines:
HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, QUANTUM COMPUTING, METALLURGY, MAGNETICS, ELECTRONICS, MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ADVANCED ENGINEERING.
And 30+ years of focused and dedicated pursuit
TECHNOLOGY STACK
We fill the gap between conventional power sources, which are generally reliable,
but polluting, and renewables, which try to be green, but can’t overcome their
intermittency (resilience and reliability) problem.
A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY
APPROACH TO PROBLEM SOLVING
We are innovators first. Our research and development approach sits at the intersection of the
theoretical, the empirical, and the practical. In our business model we build, own and operate our
equipment – so we engineer and construct it to perform relaibly and last longer. To meet the high
standards we’ve set – we ‘own’ the process, and the key components – all software, electronics and
engineered components are our designs, built and managed by us.

THE WORLD NEEDS MORE THAN
INCREMENTAL IMPROVEMENT
We’ve been believers in alternative energy since before it was popular. For over 30 years we’ve explored innovative
ways to make foundational improvements to power generation, power storage and power management. Today we are
applying our patented and proprietary innovations to some of the world’s toughest power problems.
