EnergiCell

A Breakthrough in Energy Technology

Using Only Water or Air as Fuel

EnergiCells comprise of two main components: the reactor and a power supply unit. The primary fuel source is the H2O molecule found in air and in water.

Inside the EnergiCell, plasma is created from the fuel source. Within the plasma the atoms are ionized (separated into ions). The recombination of the ions under high temperatures and pressures releases electromagnetic energy, in the form of heat, light (photons), electrons and other charged particles.

The primary energy release mechanism is a catalysed fusion process where protons and neutrons are fused into new elements.

The fusion energy gain factor, usually expressed with the symbol Q, is the ratio of fusion power produced in a fusion reactor to the power required to start the process and maintain the plasma in a steady state.

The condition of Q = 1, when the power being released by the fusion reactions is equal to the required heating power, is referred to as breakeven.

When above one the Q is referred to as infinite. ENG8 has reached this point as it has been independently verified to produce a Q factor value of 2.4 thermal or 5 electrical, validated by a leading US laboratory.

With positive Q factors, EnergiCells can become self-powering, exporting net electrical and/or thermal and, if necessary, with development, chemical energy in the form of hydrogen and oxygen.

ENG8 ENERGICELL DEVELOPMENT

ENG8 overcame five major challenges faced in the development of cost effective, stably operating EnergiCells:

GENESIS OF ENG8 & THE ENERGICELL

INDEPENDENT VALIDATION

Our EnergiCells are regularly validated by independent entities to prove fusion and performance.

An EnergiCell was first independently validated in the UK in December 2020 by Dr. Robert Morgan from Brighton University.

The independent validation showed that 1.8x more energy in the form of heat was released than from the electricity used to power the EnergiCell; thus the Q Factor is 1.8.

In H1 2023 transmutation, the proof of fusion was independently validated by CICECO and the University of Cambridge.

In August 2023 IEP validated a thermal Q factor of 2.4. A leading US laboratory independently validated Q5 electrical in October. Any Q Factor electrical above 1 is a very significant milestone as this means the EnergiCell can self-power.
