Purpose and goal
Start-up work to lay the plan for Novatron 2. Definition of questions and target: Our second prototype Novatron 2 should be ready at the end of 2026- beginning of 2027. In order to minimize the technological risks, we will during the years 2024-2026 work on the development of a technological platform where we will evaluate about 18 concepts for maximizing the Q-value in Novatron 2. The Q-value is the measure of energy in/out where a value above 1 means we get more energy out than we put in. For this we need to do a first feasibility study that sets the framework for the entire period 2024-2026.
Expected effects and result
In stage 1, we will frame the work 2024-2026 and define main questions linked to the approx. 18 concepts we have identified as possible to evaluate. This gives us a roadmap for the next two stages.
Planned approach and implementation
Internal project work. 2-5 people employed at the company do the preliminary study which results in a finished roadmap for 2024-2026.
