ON-DEMAND HYDROGEN
The clean flame that comes from water.
Water and electricity in — a clean cooking flame out, made the instant you need it. Engineered to replace the propane bottle, with only water vapor when it burns.
Video transcript
Okay, let's talk about hydrogen. So this is, the oldest project here at A New Energy. Way back, in 2001, George Bush asked the Department of Energy in the U.S. how do we get off of all this oil that's creating these wars in the Middle East and hurting everybody? And so, the Department of Energy gave him the hydrogen posturing plan. I picked up the posturing plan. It was like 800 pages. It was huge. And I got into hydrogen, with friends and anyhow, many years of experiments and trying to, bring it into the market. We learned a lot about hydrogen and how it works.
So it's the water molecule, and H2O is like Mickey Mouse's ears. And you've. You've got to fracture the, the hydrogen and the oxygen apart. And there's this really strong bond that keeps it together. But once you do it, it's a burnable fuel. And so a, clean burnable fuel is, what we're delivering here.
Now. I'm here in Costa Rica. Most of Costa Rica runs on these propane tanks. So where I'm from in the U.S. that's not so prevalent. It's mostly natural gas lines that go to the home. But here, and throughout most of the developing world, propane bottles are used. And I spent a lot of time in India doing software. And they cook on charcoal out on the open streets and around the country. And so all this, burning of the carbon, fuel for cooking, is something that we set forward to solve.
So. So anyhow, what you see here is a, is an apparatus that went through many design iterations. So the, the vision is that when you, when you cook on this, we want to make a lot of fuel. We don't want to store it. A lot of the, the vapor that we cook on and we replace that. That propane tank that's in. In there.
So this is, a device we call spintrolysis. And some of the technology came out of the semiconductor industry. Thin film deposition, where you, you spin a film on a, on a flying platter. Very similar. E equals MC squared. When the mass goes down and the constant goes up and you square it, and use all these energies together, you get a high energy output. So, so we, we evacuate the chamber. It's very clean hydrogen. A lot of, hydrogen gets dirty. And these, reactors, they build up this catalytic layer on them and they stop producing. So we've been through all those experiments and this product can be built very inexpensively, and it becomes part of the lineup of products that we've got.
So, again, the water molecule is what we're fracturing. And so anybody with a little bit of water can make a burnable fuel. And, this, would create a lot of jobs for installers that are switching over your cooking apparatus. I've cooked meals on hydrogen, so I know that it can be done. And there's billions of people that, that need to switch over. So this would be a low cost, high impact to, you know, burning carbon, carbon fuels. So, anyhow, this is, where we're at. And, thank you very much for taking time to, learn about this project. This product.
A cooktop that runs on water
Retire the propane bottle.
The ANEW On-Demand Hydrogen generator makes a clean cooking flame from two things almost everyone already has: water and electricity. It produces the fuel the moment you need it — nothing flammable is stored on board — and when that flame burns, the only thing it gives off is water vapor.
There's no cylinder to buy, no delivery truck to wait for, no refill to run out mid-meal. Pair it with rooftop solar and the fuel is effectively free — sunlight to water to flame. The machine is built in stainless steel as a sealed system, engineered to meet appliance safety certification.
It also pairs with ANEW battery-stored electricity so it runs day or night — and the same approach scales up to produce ultra-pure hydrogen for large fuel-cell applications.

The Science
Water is stored energy.
Every molecule of water holds energy locked in the bonds between its hydrogen and oxygen. Einstein's E = mc² says mass is energy — and water's mass is a quiet store of it, waiting to be released.
The springy bonds clipping each H to the O are where the energy lives.
Like a rechargeable battery — made of water
In every water molecule, the hydrogen and oxygen are clipped together by chemical bonds — picture two tiny loaded springs.
It takes a small nudge of energy — a little electricity from your solar panels or ANEW battery — to unclip the hydrogen and free those springs. That effort doesn't disappear; it's now stored in the hydrogen gas, ready and waiting.
Light the hydrogen and the springs snap shut: it rushes back to the oxygen in the air, releasing the stored energy as a clean, hot flame — and leaving only water behind, ready to charge again. Energy in, energy out; nothing wasted, no carbon anywhere.
1 · Start with water
Ordinary water — two hydrogen atoms bound to one oxygen. Stable, abundant, and safe. The energy is already there, held in the bonds.
2 · Free the hydrogen
ANEW's process releases the hydrogen from the water as a light, burnable vapor — turning still water into ready fuel, made on demand, with nothing stored.
3 · Burn it clean
The hydrogen recombines with oxygen from the air, releasing that stored energy as a hot, clean flame — the same energy the water was holding all along.
A closed loop — and no carbon
All that leaves the flame is water vapor: water → flame → water, an endless loop. Propane, butane and natural gas do the opposite — they burn carbon into CO₂, and carry the wellhead, pipeline and cylinder behind them. A water-fed flame has none of that: no carbon in, no carbon out, no fossil supply chain. Anywhere a carbon-based gas burns today — a stove, a heater, a torch, a fuel cell — this can take its place.
Where It Works
One clean flame, many jobs.
Anywhere a propane bottle sits today, a water-fed flame can take its place. Cooking is where we start.
| Application | What it replaces | Where it shines |
|---|---|---|
| Cooking★ Primary focus | Propane / LPG bottle, charcoal, firewood | Homes, off-grid households, camping |
| Home heating | Propane space heaters | Grid-weak & delivery-only regions |
| Torch & workshop | Propane / HHO torch | Brazing, cutting, trades & makers |
| Backup & off-grid power | Fuel & generator deliveries | Feeds fuel cells & ANEW battery storage |
| Ultra-pure hydrogenLarge fuel cells | "Grey" fossil-fuel hydrogen | Big fuel-cell systems, ammonia, refining, steel (future scale) |
On grid electricity, a flame costs more energy than an induction hob — so this shines where a flame is required or preferred, where the grid is weak or absent, and above all where it pairs with solar.
The Global Picture
A market measured in billions of people.
The bottle and the open fire are among the most-bought energy products on Earth — and every household buys them again, forever.
The climate math
Converting just 10% of counted LPG households to a solar-powered water flame avoids on the order of 13 million tonnes of CO₂ a year — roughly the same as taking ~3 million cars off the road. And a water-fed flame has no wellhead and no pipeline: none of the methane leakage that every propane cylinder carries upstream.
Figures are drawn from public WHO, WLGA and EPA data and independent industry estimates. CO₂ avoidance assumes renewably powered operation.

The same connectivity platform ships inside every ANEW product — so a generator, a battery, and a wind turbine all speak the same language.
PUF Hardware Identity
A Physically Unclonable Function gives each unit a hardware-anchored, clone-resistant identity — fixing the machine to its funding asset, so its carbon credits and tax credits trade against proof of THIS unit's output.
Always Connected
4G Cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Zigbee, with a two-vendor cellular standard so a unit stays online across networks and borders. Networking is configured at the factory — it arrives deploy-ready.
Live Telemetry
Each device reports its own output and health in real time — proof of what it produces, not an estimate.
Your Project Manager, Included
Every ANEW deployment comes with a remote project manager — a real guide who stays with your project and helps you navigate compliance as it moves forward. Rolling out a village or a fleet? On-site project managers are available upon request.
Its Own Customer Portal
Every unit gets a birth certificate.
From the moment it powers on, each generator opens its own portal on anewenergy.earth — a permanent identity record and live dashboard: where it was made, what it's producing, its warranty, and its carbon and credit history. A birth certificate that keeps writing itself.
