| | Avalanche Energy is developing a desktop-sized, modular nuclear fusion reactor called an "Orbitron." Our patented Orbitron reactor will achieve useful fusion plasma densities by using electrostatic fields to trap fusion fuel ions in an orbitrap and a magnetron electron confinement scheme to overcome charge density limits. The resulting fusion reaction produces energetic particles that generate heat or can be used to create electric power via direct energy conversion. The Orbitron is expected to generate between 5kWe and 20kWe of carbon-free power per module persistently for years without refueling and will not create any radioactive byproducts. The Orbitron will generate unprecedented clean energy density for dual-use applications, enhancing energy independence and resiliency throughout society. Avalanche Energy has also patented a high-voltage feedthrough mechanism and intends to develop a miniaturized high-voltage power module for mobile pulsed-power applications.
Avalanche Energy is interested in partnering with a large prime contractor on a DOE OCED infrastructure project. Our technology is currently between TRL 3 and 4; however, believe that our R&D will make a prime contractor's proposal more attractive by offering to the government a solution that involves the development of a unique, emerging technology that has potential to provide distributed, off-grid power to austere areas. The benefit to Avalanche Energy is an influx of funding that will accelerate our micro-fusion reactor R&D timeline and push the world closer to a near-limitless, clean source of energy. |

Power Generation Technologies
| | GismoPower’s Mobile Electricity Generating Appliance (“MEGA”) is a deployment system which neither fits in the rooftop, nor in the ground-mounted Solar PV categories. The MEGA integrates a mobile solar carport on wheels, a Class 2 EV charger and inverter which generates electricity for adjacent commercial buildings and the connected VPP/grid. This technology provides an affordable, portable solar solution for commercial leaseholders which exploits previously untapped surface areas for regenerative solar power generation: parking areas.
With an increased market penetration of EVs during the coming years, the load on the electric grid will increase proportionally. By charging directly on-site from a solar PV system without transporting the electricity through the grid, GismoPower will help reduce the need to upgrade the electric grid. The MEGA reduces soft costs associated with custom permitting and impacts from setback regulations. It fulfills the need for a portable, powerful grid-tied electrical appliance which can be either fixed or wheeled around freely, feeding renewable energy into the electric grid or battery. Combined with Smart EV charging technology and VPP software, we can maximize charge time during solar generation hours. When an EV charges during the daytime, the generated electricity will directly charge the electric car battery. If the solar power generation is higher than the charging consumption, the surplus electricity will be distributed to the grid/ VPP. If the solar generation is lower than the EV charge current, all available solar electricity will be used to charge the battery and the remaining portion needs to be drawn from the VPP (or electric grid). GismoPower’s MEGA technology combined with VPP software is ideally suited to lower electricity costs in commercial parking lots while simultaneously substantially reducing the expected additional load on the electric grid and potentially reducing some of the need to upgrade the grid infrastructure to manage the additional load created by charging electric vehicles. |

We are partners that are committed to helping you through every step of your journey. We envision our partnerships to not only be long-term, but life-long. We have an approach that centers community and listening above all. Our CEO/Founder was inspired to create Amaterra Tech through him and his family experiencing energy inequity first hand. Amaterra Tech was founded to provide equitable energy to every person in America, regardless of who they are or where they come from.
If the power grid was a car, Amaterra Tech would design the blueprint, source the materials, and implement the self driving program onto the car. By doing so, we create the grids of the future — grids that are cheap, resilient, and based upon clean energy.
Specifically, we build hybrid AC/DC microgrids. Amaterra Tech’s simulations have found that we can build energy capacity for our clients for over 30% cheaper, using our architecture & proprietary technology. Furthermore, our research shows that our hybrid AC/DC architecture leads to over 15% more efficient energy transmission.
Additionally, we empower modularity, weatherization, and the grid as a revenue source. We understand that most organizations don’t have the funds to build an entire grid infrastructure in one go, so our solution allows for modularity. We can add new components to the grid without the substantial & expensive reengineering costs that other solutions provide. Our grids also take up less space, which makes them easier and cheaper to weatherize. Moreover, we optimize the revenue to be gained from selling excess electricity back to the grid.
We are looking to partner with communities in need of an equitable microgrid/energyshed solution. We want to connect with city governments, community organizations, utilities, electric cooperatives, tribal entities, and more. |
