Vision

During the past two centuries, we have depended, primarily, on fossil fuels for energy. While this dependence played a major role in advancing our economy, it has also had immensely damaging implications. Our natural resources are nearing total depletion. The environmental and ecological systems of our planet are being alarmingly endangered.

Many organizations are chasing hydrogen fuel cells as a solution. Yet, hydrogen fuel cell technology faces innumerable obstacles. Hydrogen as a fuel is not only expensive and difficult to produce, but also extremely flammable and unstable to transport. This means that hydrogen will require an exceedingly complex and costly infrastructure to support it, if and when all its technical challenges are resolved. eVionyx, however, envisages a different solution for the future: metal as the ideal energy source.

Metals, such as zinc, aluminum, and magnesium store vast amounts of energy. Besides, they are naturally abundant, inexpensive, recyclable, and environmentally friendly. Perhaps most significantly, metals are intrinsically nonflammable and safe to handle, which affords us the opportunity to build a metal fuel economy with a simple, affordable infrastructure. In fact, the process of distributing and harvesting energy from metals is perfectly analogous to the way we distribute and harvest energy from planted crops.

Innovative Energy Solutions for Humanity

eVionyx is an energy company dedicated to the development of metal-fuel-cell technology through innovative solutions that benefit humanity. We are also dedicated to profitable operation. Our mission is to help the world take advantage of solid-metal fuels and, in the process, become a leader in the global energy marketplace. The inspiration for this mission is obvious. The world we live in suffers from a lack of clean, abundant and affordable energy. On the one hand, countless internal combustion engines and fossil-fuel power plants in the developed world vent harmful emissions into the air we breathe, while, on the other hand, close to 3 billion people in the less-developed world lack sufficient access to clean energy. Despite decades of effort by numerous companies and governments to address energy problems, a fundamental need for an energy source that is abundant, inexpensive and provides power in an environmentally benign manner remains a glaring global need. Our response to this need has been the development of an inexpensive, metal-air, Revolutionary Power Cell (RPC™) technology capable of meeting all of the requirements of the ideal energy source.

The Ideal Energy Source

Nonflammable Metal Fuel Distribution & Economics

The nonflammable nature of metal fuel allows for a simple and affordable distribution model, as shown in the diagram above:

  • Fuel Distribution Centers will provide consumers with access to fresh metal fuel to supply power for their devices. The centers will also collect discharged fuel (metal oxides) for recycling. The nature of metal opens many possibilities for utilizing existing distribution networks such as supermarkets, convenience stores, etc.
  • Simple Transportation Means will be used to move fresh metal fuel as well as discharged fuel back and forth between retail centers and recharging stations.
  • Metal recharging stations will utilize renewable energy sources such as hydro, solar and wind to electrically recharge metal oxides back into fresh metal.

    • To date, RPCs have demonstrated their viability in various forms from standard AAA cells to large block units powering scooters, golf carts and automobiles. In fact, eVionyx holds the current Guinness World Record for the longest distance (344.67 km) traveled on public roads by a modified production vehicle powered by metal air fuel cells without refueling or recharging.

    Company

    Formed in 1995 as a subsidiary of Reveo, Inc., eVionyx maintains approximately 100,000 square feet of facilities, including electrochemical laboratories, offices, and manufacturing space in Hawthorne, New York, and in Taiwan.

    Achievements

    For more than seven years, eVionyx has been marshaling great resources to make metal fuel technology possible. The efforts of more than 100 brilliant scientists, engineers, and business executives coupled with investments approaching $80 million have established that metal fuel is more viable, both technically and commercially, than any other current or foreseeable energy technology. And our record of striking demonstrations is the best evidence. For instance, eVionyx holds the world record for the longest distance traveled by a pure electric vehicle (344.67 km). Moreover, we have demonstrated our technology across the entire energy spectrum, from small portable power sources to golf cars and lawn mowers.
