Where Science Meets Revolution
Air-Gen turns the surrounding air into a limitless source of clean energy.
Our StoryHow It Works
The Future of Energy
Air-Gen turns the natural humidity in the air into a constant source of clean electricity. At the heart of our technology are ultra-thin protein nanowires paired with carbon electrodes. When water molecules in the air interact with these nanowires, they generate a tiny but steady electrical current. No fuel, no sunlight, no moving parts required. This process is highly efficient and works from the Sahara Desert to the Amazon rainforest, and can be scaled from powering small devices today with the potential to energize entire systems in the future. Air-Gen opens the door to new energy solutions for consumer electronics, off-grid communities, and large-scale infrastructure, offering a limitless renewable power source made possible by the air we breathe every day.
