Next-Generation Maritime Technology

Silent Propulsion
& Pumping for the Blue Economy

We build electromagnetic actuators that deliver orders-of-magnitude improvements in power efficiency and noise reduction โ€” at a fraction of the cost of existing solutions.

Maritime propulsion and pumping
are overdue for a rethink.

Today's technologies force operators to choose between silence, efficiency, and affordability. We believe they shouldn't have to.

โšก

High Power Draw

Inductive losses in conventional propellers drain batteries and severely limit mission duration for autonomous underwater vehicles.

๐Ÿ”Š

Acoustic Cavitation

Underwater noise violates new EU/IMO regulations, compromises naval stealth, and harms marine ecosystems.

๐Ÿ”ง

Seal Failures & Waste

Submersible pumps suffer frequent seal failures and energy waste, driving up operating costs across oil & gas and research operations.

One platform, two markets.

Our electromagnetic bistable actuator is a modular, maintenance-free core technology that serves both underwater propulsion and submersible pumping.

Electromagnetic Bistable Actuator

Low-cost, modular, maintenance-free

Silent Operation (<5 dB)

Near-silent acoustic profile enables regulatory compliance, naval stealth, and marine life safety.

Ultra-Low Power (<300 mW)

1,000โ€“100,000x less energy consumption than conventional propellers and rim-driven thrusters.

Low Cost (<$200)

33โ€“98% cheaper to manufacture than competing solutions, using commodity inputs with zero-tooling scale.

Scalable & Modular

One platform serves both propulsion (AUVs, UUVs, ROVs) and submersible pumping applications.
