The Ambient Foundation is currently working on six new, exciting, and cutting-edge energy projects. It stands to reason that multiple energy options be available to address the varying needs of our population. Currently, there are over two billion people without electricity, so the more choices available, the greater the number of solutions we can provide. Below is a list of our current ambient energy projects.

Ambient Foundation's Project Firefly
Power Generation: Ambient Geo-resonance
 Progress: Prototyping
 Dimensions: 43" tall (not including antenna) x 34" wide
The Ambient Firefly 25kWh The Ambient Firefly 25kWh Scale
Ambient Firefly Coil PrototypingThe Ambient Firefly is the Ambient Foundation's primary project in ambient energy generation. Based on the concepts of geo-resonance, ambient atmospheric energy, and the inherent properties of quartz, the Firefly will produce up to 25 kW of electricity – enough to power a medium-sized house in the developed world. The Firefly is ideal for village use and powerful enough to provide effective off-grid solutions in various circumstances. The Ambient Foundation has partnered with Firefly Generators, Inc for the development, production, and distribution of the Ambient Firefly.

Ambient Foundation's Project SnapGen
Power Generation: Ambient Atmospheric
 Progress: Prototyping
Dimensions: 26" tall x 10" at widest point

The Ambient SnapGen Ambient Foundation's SnapGen Scale View
The Ambient SnapGen is the Ambient Foundation’s premier portable energy generator. This 1000w unit is perfect for small utilities and tasks. Anything from village homes, camping, disaster zones, emergency power, or travel, the SnapGen is a truly versatile ambient energy device. Using technology related to Ambient’s Firefly, the SnapGen is able to tap into the potential energy field of our atmosphere and deliver 1000w of AC power at 110v, 60hz. The Ambient Foundation has partnered with Snap Generators, Inc. to develop, produce, and manufacture the SnapGen for global distribution starting in 2009.


Ambient Foundation's Project Geocharge
Power Generation: Ambient Earth Battery
 Progress: Successful Proof of Concept
Dimensions: 78" tall x 48" at widest point

The Ambient Geocharge Earth Battery Ambient Foundation's Geocharge Earth Battery Scale View

Based on technologies originally used to charge telegraph batteries, and incorporating discoveries by Nathan Stubblefield, Alexander Bain, and J.W. Wilkins, the Ambient Geocharge Earth Battery is an energy generator that is calculated to produce 3 to 5 kW of electricity – enough to power a small-scale irrigation system. Ideal for smaller installations, the battery will be placed six feet underground, surrounded by soil that is mixed with a special salt solution, and will begin energy production after the main coils have been energized.

The Ambient Foundation has been successfully testing several proof-of-concepts for this design and is highly confident in the success of this energy type.

Ambient Foundation's Project Aquella
 Power Generation: Advanced Hydrogen-powered Generator
 Progress: Latter Design Phase
 Dimensions: 50" tall x 34" wide (measurements include generator)
Ambient Aquella Hydrogen System Ambient Aquella Scale Image
The Ambient Aquella (ah-KWEL-ah) is an advanced power generation system that uses high-output electrolysis technology to modify an off-the-shelf liquid petroleum (LP) electric generator. Using an LP generator modified with Ambient Aquella technology, 12 kW of electricity can be produced while creating zero CO2 emissions. Most conventional generators produce a great deal of noise. The Aquella, however, can be safely housed in a sound-proof enclosure due to the fact that it only emits water vapor. The Ambient Aquella is best suited for projects on the scale of house construction, adding capacity to your power grid, or recharging an electric car. Operating the Aquella is straightforward and requires minimal preparation.

Ambient Foundation's Project Emtheris
Power Generation: Magnetic Pulse Generator
 Progress: Early Design Phase
 Dimensions: 42" tall x 60" wide
The Ambient Emtheris Ambient Foundation's Lumos Project Scale
The Ambient Emtheris (am-THER-us) derives its power by using specially tuned magnetic coils that are pulsed at a predetermined frequency. Similar technologies were developed in the 1930s by Hans Coler and Karl Schappeller; however those lacked modern microprocessor control systems that dynamically adjust for magnetic variations. Using today's advanced technologies, the Ambient Foundation has updated and improved upon the original concepts. This liquid-cooled design is estimated to produce up to 6 kW of electricity.

Ambient Foundation's Project Lumos
Power Generation: Ambient Radiant Energy Generator
 Progress: Early Design Phase
 Dimensions: 58" tall x 52" wide
The Ambient Lumos Ambient Foundation's Lumos Scale Image
The Ambient Lumos (LOO-mohs) is an ambient energy generator, or collector, based on technologies originally developed by Nikola Tesla, Thomas Henry Moray and Frank Prentice. The Ambient Lumos taps into the high-potential electrical field between the upper atmosphere and the Earth's surface to produce an estimated 10-20 kW of electricity. Using microprocessor technology, we address many of the challenges that faced earlier implementations of this technology. The Ambient Lumos is a viable solution for medium to larger scale requirements.
