The world needs more energy—without more damage.
Global energy demand is projected to surge 50% by 2050, while fossil fuels continue to drive the majority of emissions according to the International Energy Agency's 2025 projections. This exponential growth trajectory places unprecedented pressure on existing infrastructure and environmental systems. Renewables, despite significant advances, face fundamental intermittency challenges that prevent them from providing consistent baseload power. Nuclear energy, while carbon-free during operation, continues to accumulate long-lived radioactive waste without scalable, economically viable disposal solutions that can be deployed at the pace and scale required.
The stakes extend far beyond environmental metrics. Communities across developed and developing nations struggle with unreliable power infrastructure, rising costs that strain household budgets, and grid instability that threatens economic productivity. Utilities and governments need clean baseload options that deliver the trifecta of scalability, affordability, and regulatory readiness—a combination that remains elusive with current technologies. Meanwhile, nuclear waste stockpiles present mounting long-term environmental and security risks that grow with each passing year, creating liabilities that span generations.
Most current solutions fail to deliver the required combination of attributes for widespread adoption. Incremental improvements to existing technologies, while valuable, won't bridge the gap between today's capabilities and tomorrow's demands. The missing piece isn't just better engineering—it's fundamentally new approaches that can address these interconnected challenges simultaneously.
Unreliable Infrastructure
Communities face power instability and rising costs
Baseload Gap
Grid-ready, scalable clean power remains unavailable
Waste Crisis
Nuclear stockpiles create environmental and security risks
We're the R&D team built for hard problems
When energy systems are unreliable or environmentally costly, every stakeholder pays—communities face service interruptions and rising bills, operators struggle with grid instability and regulatory pressure, regulators balance competing priorities with limited options, and future generations inherit the environmental and financial burden of today's compromises. The complexity of these interconnected challenges demands more than incremental innovation; it requires fundamental breakthroughs that can only come from first-principles thinking combined with rigorous experimental validation.
Cynamics combines experimental engineering excellence, advanced simulation expertise, and startup execution speed to push beyond incremental improvements and build fundamentally new approaches to power generation. Our team doesn't just optimize existing technologies—we reimagine the underlying physics and engineering principles that govern energy conversion, waste utilization, and grid integration. This approach requires patience, precision, and a willingness to challenge conventional assumptions about what's possible in clean energy systems.
With over 20 years of combined experience spanning defense research, academic physics, electrical engineering, and clean tech entrepreneurship, our team brings the rare combination of theoretical depth and practical execution capability. We maintain in-house prototyping facilities including CNC machining, lathe and grinding equipment, electronics prototyping stations, and electromagnetic simulation software—enabling us to move rapidly from concept to validated prototype. This vertical integration allows us to iterate quickly, fail fast when necessary, and validate breakthrough concepts with empirical evidence rather than theoretical projections alone.
Dual-Technology Innovation for Clean Baseload Power
Cynamics is advancing two complementary technology pathways, each designed to address critical gaps in the clean energy landscape. Our approach isn't about choosing between renewable integration and waste utilization—it's about developing both simultaneously to maximize impact across different deployment contexts and grid requirements.
Wave + Wind Generation Technology
Our modular wave and wind converters are engineered to improve energy capture efficiency and lower cost barriers to deployment—transforming wave energy from an expensive promise into practical, grid-ready infrastructure. The technology addresses the fundamental challenges that have prevented wave energy from scaling: high capital costs, maintenance complexity, and integration difficulties.
  • Modular design enables scalable deployment from pilot to utility-scale installations
  • Grid-ready integration capabilities ensure seamless connection to existing infrastructure
  • Minimal environmental footprint with no emissions or hazardous byproducts
  • AI-driven optimization algorithms maximize yield and operational efficiency beyond conventional tuning methods
Nuclear Waste Power Generation
Our proprietary conversion approach is designed to transform nuclear byproducts into continuous power output—while simultaneously reducing hazardous material volumes and long-term storage requirements. This dual benefit addresses two critical challenges with a single integrated solution: the need for reliable baseload power and the growing crisis of nuclear waste accumulation.
The technology employs a safe, controlled conversion process that extracts energy from materials currently considered waste liabilities. By transforming these materials into power assets, we create economic value while reducing environmental risk. The approach is engineered specifically for grid integration and operational reliability, ensuring that power output meets utility requirements for stability and dispatchability.
  • Continuous baseload power output suitable for grid integration
  • Addresses waste disposal challenges and reduces long-term storage burden
  • Safe, controlled conversion process with multiple redundant safety systems
  • Scalable architecture adaptable to different waste streams and power requirements
Bottom line: We're building clean energy systems that are reliable, scalable, and designed to meet real-world deployment constraints—not laboratory curiosities that can't cross the chasm from prototype to commercial operation.
A clear path from concept to deployment
We understand that breakthrough technologies require rigorous validation pathways and clear success metrics. Our partnership approach is designed to move systematically from concept exploration through prototype validation toward commercial deployment, with decision gates and evidence-based milestones at each stage.
Step 1: Define
We work with partners to identify specific challenges and opportunities—whether focused on baseload reliability enhancement, waste reduction pathways, or advanced systems R&D for next-generation grid capabilities. This collaborative scoping ensures alignment on objectives, timelines, and success criteria before significant resources are committed.
Step 2: Evaluate
Our team assesses technical fit, deployment constraints, regulatory requirements, and quantitative success metrics. We conduct feasibility analysis, risk assessment, and pathway modeling to ensure proposed solutions can realistically meet your operational and economic requirements within acceptable timeframes.
Step 3: Build & Validate
We prototype, simulate, test, and iterate—delivering evidence-backed progress toward integration and commercialization. Our in-house capabilities enable rapid iteration cycles, while our simulation tools allow us to validate concepts before expensive physical testing, reducing risk and accelerating timelines.
