# Brillouin Energy

> Brillouin Energy is an Emeryville, California clean-technology company developing thermal energy systems based on Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR). Its patented Controlled Electron Capture Reaction (CECR) process uses small amounts of hydrogen, nickel and electricity to generate heat via its Hydrogen Hot Tube (HHT) reactor and proprietary Q-Pulse control system, with helium as a negligible byproduct and no carbon emissions or radioactive waste. Founded in 2009 by Robert Godes, the company aims to commercialize licensable, ultra-clean heat for industrial process, district energy and distributed power applications.

- **Founded:** 2009
- **Headquarters:** Emeryville, California, United States
- **Founders:** Robert Godes (Founder, President & Chief Technology Officer)
- **Team size:** ~31 employees
- **Products:** Hydrogen Hot Tube (HHT) Reactor, Q-Pulse Control System, CECR Process (Controlled Electron Capture Reaction), Transportable HHT Boiler / Test System
- **Notable:** Demonstrated net-positive power out-of-the-wall and steady-state operation heating water with its transportable HHT test system at ICCF24 (2022)., Produced over 250 watts of heat in water at a 1.25x excess heat ratio from power out-of-the-wall., Received a 35-page third-party verification report (SRI International) that its HHT prototype repeatedly produced lab-scale excess heat from LENR.

## Products & services

- **Hydrogen Hot Tube (HHT) Reactor** — Proprietary LENR reactor core that produces excess thermal energy from small amounts of hydrogen and nickel stimulated by electrical pulses.
- **Q-Pulse Control System** — Patented electrical control system that stimulates nickel metal conductors to trigger and regulate the Controlled Electron Capture Reaction, enabling steady-state, scalable heat output.
- **CECR Process (Controlled Electron Capture Reaction)** — Brillouin's core patented reaction process that generates heat with helium as a negligible byproduct and no carbon emissions or radioactive waste.
- **Transportable HHT Boiler / Test System** — First transportable HHT system demonstrated net-positive power out-of-the-wall and heated water at the ICCF24 Solid-State Energy Summit in 2022.
