Sustainability

The discoveries made at microscopic levels by Impulse possess enormous potential to transform a wide variety of products and processes and, potentially, the very energy future of our nation and our world.

Transform Your Business
Many organizations already use ordinary forms of cavitation in their commercial and industrial processes. Now, Extreme Acoustic Cavitation™ enables these same companies to intensify their processes while significantly lowering their energy requirements as well as reducing or eliminating the use of toxic chemicals.  Extreme Acoustic Cavitation™ provides the transformational power to open up entirely new processes and revenue streams.

Transform the World
Even more importantly, Extreme Acoustic Cavitation™ has the potential to transform the energy future of the world. One of the signature challenges of the 21^st century is the quest for clean, abundant, and renewable sources of energy to power modern life. Many possible solutions—such as solar, wind, and biofuels—possess sizeable drawbacks, including, most significantly, very low energy density. Another possible source, nuclear fission, has a much higher energy density, but poses a range of risks, including long-lasting radioactive waste and the possibility of reactor meltdown or explosion.

Impulse scientists and engineers are at the forefront of research into Acoustic ICF—a type of “hot” fusion that requires far less energy, cost, and resource use than traditional approaches, such as laser inertial confinement fusion or magnetic confinement fusion reactors. If successful, this effort would support the development of affordable, distributed, non-polluting power-generation systems that could supply the modern world’s energy needs for thousands of years—without risk of meltdown or harmful radioactive waste.
