EUREKA!

The MK-0 Piezoelectric Array Is Alive

This update was originally scheduled for next week—but when discovery strikes, you don’t wait. Also, we are subsequently able to dive into more detailed analysis and the Mk-1 & Mk-X Prototype Timelines. The MVP Cell on Track for this year’s rollout in next week’s update.

Last Thursday, March 20th, our lab witnessed a moment we’ll remember for a long time: the successful ignition and response of our first MK-0 Piezoelectric Array—a modular energy cell constructed using crude crystalline ceramic composites mounted on synchronized pure copper bases. Despite the lack of final-grade materials(That we are procuring at this moment), the test array generated energy peaks of up to 2 millivolts per mechanical tick, confirming functionality and mechanical-electrical responsiveness. You don’t need a physics degree to see where this is going.

To put that in context: with just this rudimentary, array, we can already charge microcontrollers, power wearable electronics, or operate low-energy sensors in remote or embedded systems—without any external power source. With refined materials and scale, the applications multiply.

This milestone is a long time coming. And yet, we know: it's only the beginning.

We are proud to report that we are on track to finalize a miniaturized PSCB Demonstrator before the end of the month, with active testing and calibration slated for April.

Despite shifting team dynamics, intense event participation, and operational pivots, we’re building—fast. And we’re not building alone.

We stand proudly on the shoulders of Pierre and Jacques Curie, whose foundational work in 1880 revealed the piezoelectric effect. Their discovery was ahead of its time. Ours is just in time.

To our partners, early investors, collaborators, and patient supporters, thank you. The vision you believed in is now generating current.

Let’s build faster.
