Research Areas

Six pillars of applied research focused on reducing grid dependence and making clean energy accessible at human scale. Each area bridges theory and practical engineering — concepts get tested on real equipment.

Electrochemical Energy Generation

Hydrogen production, PEM electrolysis, solar integration

Developing proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis systems for efficient hydrogen generation. PEM electrolyzers offer high current density, rapid response times, and compact form factors — ideal for modular, small-scale deployment paired with renewable energy sources.

The end goal is a solar-to-hydrogen closed-loop storage system designed for small-scale, modular deployment. Solar panels charge during the day, electrolyze water into hydrogen and oxygen, store compressed gas, and convert back through fuel cells or combustion as needed. Complete energy independence with no battery degradation curves.

Electrochemical Separation & Purification

High voltage AC electrolysis, desalination

Applying high voltage AC electrolysis to desalination and water purification. By driving electrochemical separation at elevated voltages with tuned AC waveforms, we're exploring whether ion migration and membrane performance can be enhanced beyond conventional electrodialysis methods.

Clean water is as fundamental as clean energy. This research targets coastal and brackish water applications where traditional reverse osmosis is energy-intensive and maintenance-heavy — electrochemical approaches offer a potentially simpler, more robust alternative for off-grid deployment.

Superconductivity & Wave Coherence

Acoustical gas coherence, overtone-tuned superconductivity

Exploring acoustical coherence of gases to achieve higher-temperature superconductivity through precise overtone tuning. The hypothesis: if a gas medium can be brought into coherent oscillation at specific harmonic frequencies, the resulting wave structure may exhibit properties analogous to Cooper pair formation — but at dramatically higher temperatures than conventional superconductors.

This is frontier research bridging applied physics and wave mechanics. Practical applications include superconducting Tesla coil design and construction, zero-loss transmission systems, and high-field magnetic applications.

Grid & Transmission Innovation

Transmission loss reduction, high-voltage optimization

Precision terminal block wiring for high-voltage distribution

The US electrical grid loses approximately 5% of total electricity generation during transmission and distribution. At scale, that's an enormous amount of wasted energy. Reducing that loss — even by a fraction — has massive impact.

Research here focuses on advanced conductor design, high-voltage system optimization, and bridging experimental superconductor research with real-world infrastructure. The work includes designing and building custom high-voltage panels, analyzing transmission efficiency at various voltages and conductor configurations, and developing practical improvements that could be retrofit into existing infrastructure.

Off-Grid Living Systems

Solar, hydrogen storage, water purification, energy independence

Reactor vessels and processing equipment for off-grid systems

Complete deployable systems for energy independence. The idea is simple: combine the research from the other four pillars into integrated, field-deployable packages. Solar arrays feed electrolyzers, hydrogen stores energy without degradation, steam turbines or fuel cells convert back to electricity, and water purification/desalination handles the rest.

Built from repurposed industrial components wherever possible. A surplus stainless reactor vessel works as well as a custom-fabricated one for a fraction of the cost. The designs target homes, workshops, farms, and small communities — not utility-scale installations.

Automation & AI Systems

Local AI, data pipelines, industrial monitoring

Click PLC automation controller for industrial process control

Local AI infrastructure using Ollama and open-source models. Complex data pipeline automation, intelligent monitoring and control systems for energy and industrial applications. If the energy systems are off-grid, the intelligence running them should be too.

PLC-based process control, SCADA-adjacent monitoring systems, and AI-driven anomaly detection — all running locally without cloud dependency. The automation layer ties every other research pillar together into systems that can run autonomously.
