Diverse portfolio of businesses that transform industries and create lasting value
Revolutionary solutions in geothermal energy, minerals exploration, mining, agriculture and advanced manufacturing.
NATURAL RESOURCES TRANSFORMATION
I-ROX’s pulsed power solution eliminates the most energy intensive parts of the rock crushing process while increasing mineral recoveries. Our I-Mine business combines drilling and processing in one machine enabling miners to go from rock face to processing in just one step. iTerra leverages high pulsed power to eliminate weeds at the root without harming crops, disrupting soil microbiology or leaving chemical residues.
GLOBAL ENERGY TRANSITION
To reach the enormous untapped potential of geothermal energy, we need a cost-effective way to drill deeper. G-Pulse combines pulsed power with conventional drill bits to soften rock, accelerating the process and extending the life of the tool. Blue Spark Geothermal applies a low-cost solution to clear well blockages and return wells to peak production.
TRANSFORMING MANUFACTURING
Bmax’s pulsed power technology makes metal behave like a liquid for a few millionths of a second without getting hot. That allows us to create green and cost-effective manufacturing solutions across industries including automotive, luxury products, aerospace, and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Our I-Cube Research center is constantly innovating, improving and testing new pulsed power solutions to transform a wide range of industrial processes, making them better, cleaner and more cost-effective.
transformative technologies
Energy-efficient rock crushing
I-ROX’s technology breaks rocks from the inside, using a fraction of the energy required by conventional milling, enabling higher mineral recovery and slashing emissions.
Economical deep drilling
G-Pulse enhances a conventional drill with pulsed power to soften rock before coming into contact with the drill bit. This accelerates penetration and lowers costs by extending the life of the drill.
Continuous hard rock mining
I-Mine combines pulsed-power enhanced drilling and rock crushing into a single vehicle, enabling continuous, scalable mining at the rock face.
Chemical Free Weed Control
iTerra combines high pulsed power and AI-driven detection to eliminate weeds at the root without harming crops, disrupting soil microbiology or leaving chemical residues.
Wellbore optimization
Blue Spark Geothermal reinvigorates underperforming wells without chemicals or explosives by releasing powerful shockwaves inside the wellbore to break up and clear out unwanted materials that are blocking flows.
Metal forming, Cold welding, High-voltage cable crimping
Bmax’ technology makes metals behave like a liquid, allowing us to weld without heat, create unique shapes and create extra strong high-voltage cables.
