AppliedUS is distinguished from all other material-processing R&D companies because
we engineer functional nano-, micro-, and millimeter-sized internal features within solid
materials, in both random and pre-determined designs in three dimensions. Our proven
procedures alter basic material properties, facilitating the manufacture of stronger yet
lighter materials and components. Most importantly, our technology allows complex
devices to be manufactured in complete, ready-to-use condition.

AppliedUS is redesigning and developing new manufacturing techniques for a number
of innovative products that will sustain the company for years to come. For the
immediate future, we've chosen to concentrate on energy-conversion and storage
devices, which are of urgent interest to the current global economy. These include, in
order of their anticipated commercialization:

  • A new generation of supercapacitors that will replace batteries and internal-
    combustion engines
  • Lighter and stronger net-shaped metals and parts designed to reduce vehicle
    weight, resulting in fuel-consumption savings of as much as 20 percent
  • Several types of advanced hydrogen fuel cells that will significantly aid in the
    production of low-cost electricity for buildings and vehicles. The energy will be
    stored in supercapacitors.
  • Electrolyzers for the production of low-cost hydrogen from water. The hydrogen
    will be used to fuel cars, and to light, heat and cool buildings.
  • Batteries that will compete with supercapacitors for various applications
  • Enhanced solar photovoltaic cells that will produce electricity from sunlight with
    superior efficiency

Our product-development plan is to create energy devices that act as complete
replacements for engines, generators, and batteries. The goal is to make individual
households and buildings independent, low-cost, energy-producing centers.

Two competing approaches are being pursued. The first involves hydrogen fuel cells
and electrolyzers that will operate independent of any electrical “grid” or hydrogen-
filling stations. The second involves supercapacitors charged with either fuel cell or grid
electricity. Eventually, the market would be divided between the two technologies
according to their strengths, cost, and convenience.

Additionally, in several years, we plan to use our technology to manufacture—or offer
licenses to others to manufacture—a number of products in the fields of medicine, micro-
electronic-mechanical systems (MEMS), transparent materials with controlled
properties, 2-D and 3-D integrated circuits, and immediate-prototype-manufacturing
services.
