Infinity Turbine Supercritical CO2 Turbine Technology Development Kit
Infinity Turbine Supercritical CO2 Turbine Technology Development Kit
Cluster Mesh Architecture Development ProgramExecutive ConceptThe Infinity Turbine Technology Development Kit (TDK) provides organizations with the core turbine and compressor architecture required to build supercritical CO2 turbine systems using the Cluster Mesh concept.Instead of purchasing a finished turbine generator, buyers receive the foundational engineering package and complete the remaining subsystems themselves.This approach allows:• Buyers to create their own intellectual property• Buyers to tailor designs for their specific industry• Infinity Turbine to monetize its core architecture repeatedlyThe program transforms Infinity Turbine from a hardware manufacturer into a technology platform provider.Core Technology Provided by Infinity TurbineThe TDK provides the high-value engineering components that define the system architecture.1 Turbine Core DesignIncludes:• Turbine rotor geometry• Nozzle configuration• Expansion stage architecture• Blade or Tesla disc design options• High pressure casing designThe turbine core determines the efficiency and pressure drop performance of the system.2 Compressor ArchitectureIncludes:• CO2 compressor design• Impeller configuration• Multi-stage compression options• Cluster mesh pressure routing conceptThe compressor design is critical to achieving supercritical pressure levels between 74 bar and 300 bar.3 Cluster Mesh System LayoutIncludes:• Modular turbine cluster architecture• Multi turbine synchronization design• Pressure distribution system• Parallel turbine scaling conceptThis design enables scaling power output through multiple small turbines rather than one large turbine.4 Turbine Housing DesignIncludes:• Pressure vessel housing• Internal structural supports• Rotor alignment geometry• Assembly structureThis design forms the foundation of the pressure containment system.5 System Architecture DiagramsIncludes:• CO2 flow loop configuration• Heat source integration diagrams• Cold side heat rejection layouts• System control architectureComponents Developed or Provided by the BuyerThe buyer finishes the engineering for subsystems that vary widely depending on the application.These include:1 Shaft Bearing SystemBuyer designs bearings appropriate for their operating conditions.Possible technologies:• Magnetic bearings• Ceramic bearings• Fluid film bearings• Hybrid systemsThis allows adaptation to:• High temperature environments• Offshore installations• Industrial heat systems2 Seal SystemBuyer develops the sealing technology required for their pressure and temperature conditions.Possible options include:• Labyrinth seals• Dry gas seals• Carbon seals• Magnetic sealsThis is often application specific and IP intensive, making it ideal for the buyer to develop.3 Heat Exchanger DesignThe heat exchanger is the most application dependent subsystem.Buyers design heat exchangers suited to:• Data center waste heat• Biomass heat systems• Industrial exhaust heat• Geothermal heat• Solar thermal heatExamples include:• Printed circuit heat exchangers• Plate heat exchangers• Shell and tube exchangers• Microchannel exchangers4 Control SystemsBuyers develop:• turbine control systems• pressure management• safety interlocks• power managementProduct TiersInfinity Turbine can offer three tiers of TDK packages.Tier 1 Concept Development KitPrice range$100,000

hyperscalers• energy companies• industrial OEM partnersRevenue ModelThis model generates revenue from multiple sources.1 Technology Development Kit SalesOne-time engineering package sale.Typical price range:$100,000 to $2,500,000 dollars.2 Consulting ServicesEngineering consulting for system integration.Typical pricing:$50,000 to $500,000 dollars.3 Brand LicensingCustomers may license the Infinity Turbine brand.Example license:$500,000 to $2,500,000 dollars.4 Sales Lead MarketplaceInfinity Turbine generates inbound leads and sells them to TDK partners.Example:Qualified project lead$25,000 to $100,000 dollars per lead.Target IndustriesThe TDK should target industries where supercritical CO2 turbines solve major economic problems.Data CentersAI and HPC data centers generate massive waste heat.Cluster Mesh turbines can convert waste heat into:• electricity• cooling• compressed airIndustrial Waste HeatIndustries producing low grade heat:• steel plants• cement plants• chemical plants• refineriesBiomass and BiocharCluster Mesh turbines can convert biomass heat into electricity.GeothermalLow temperature geothermal systems benefit from compact turbines.Oil and GasWellhead heat recovery and flare gas systems.Strategic Advantage of the TDK ModelThe model eliminates the biggest barriers to selling turbine technology.Barrier 1 Capital CostTraditional turbine development costs:$50 million to $200 million dollars.The TDK allows customers to start for a fraction of the cost.Barrier 2 Custom EngineeringEvery industry requires custom systems.The buyer completes the design for their specific environment.Barrier 3 Intellectual Property OwnershipMany buyers prefer to develop their own IP.The TDK structure allows them to create derivative patents.Example Customer JourneyStep 1Customer purchases TDKStep 2Customer develops seals bearings and heat exchangersStep 3Customer builds prototype turbineStep 4Customer commercializes their turbineStep 5Infinity Turbine provides consulting and licensingPositioning StatementThe Infinity Turbine Technology Development Kit allows companies to build their own supercritical CO2 turbine systems using the Cluster Mesh architecture while developing their own proprietary subsystems.Instead of licensing a complete turbine design, partners gain access to the foundational turbine architecture and create their own derivative technology.Why This Strategy Fits Your CompanyBased on the work you have already done on:• Cluster Mesh turbines• ORC systems• data center waste heat recovery• distributed turbine arraysThe TDK approach converts your years of research into a scalable technology platform rather than a single product.
