SEPARATOR BUILD · OCTOBER 2026

MECHANICAL BATTERY LLC

This capital buys and runs Proto 10, a dry plasma separator, and takes the first-light measurement. The machine separates elements and fission products. Hardware is specified and not purchased. Nothing has been measured.

THE SEPARATOR IS NOT BUILT

The raise is one bench measurement. The other machines stay on the shelf as designs.

Used fuel

A DOE application for an INTEC demonstration was submitted on 19 June 2026. It is under review. It is not an award.

The bench

Proto 10 is the first measurement instrument. It is specified. It is not purchased. Nothing has been measured.

Not this raise

Titanium remelt, mine-water cleanup, and a flywheel are design packages. They are not what this capital builds.

No separation factor has been measured. Patent pending.

MODELS FIRST. HARDWARE SECOND.

19 U.S. provisional applications. Patent pending. The models can change. The hardware is not built.

  • Eigen is a computational physics framework. It holds design models, including the separator. A model is not a built machine.
  • Proto 10 is specified: the axial-field coil, the rotating-field drive, the vacuum system, and the diagnostics. None of that hardware is purchased.
  • A number from a model is not a measurement. First light is the measurement. It has not been taken.
Illustration. Not Proto 10.
THIS ROUND · PROTO 10

PROTO 10

A dry plasma separator. An alpha instrument. Not a production plant.

It separates elements and fission products. Nothing has been measured.

ADJACENT DESIGNS · NOT THIS ROUND

THREE DESIGN PACKAGES

Same physics framework. Not purchased. Not what this capital builds.

Titanium remelt

A design package for scrap to ingot. It is not in fabrication. No production contract is signed.

Mine water

A design for a small cleanup skid. No pilot workplan is signed.

Flywheel

A counter-rotating storage design. No national-lab validation program is engaged.

Design packages only. Not in fabrication. No production contract is signed.

CLAIM BOUNDARY

NOT THREE PRODUCTS. ONE MEASUREMENT.

Not for sale

No machine is offered for sale. No pilot revenue is booked. No customer has taken delivery.

Not awarded

The DOE application is under review. It is not an award. The company has no federal award.

Not measured

Field hardware has not been demonstrated. The measurement comes first. No date is promised.

Evidence grades are earned, not claimed.

THE PLATFORM STAYS. THE RAISE IS THE BENCH.

This raise

Capital buys and runs this separator and takes the first-light measurement. No product is for sale from that measurement.

The platform

Design models cover storage, separation, melt, critical minerals, and a reactor study. The reactor study is not this raise. The models are not built machines.

Nineteen U.S. provisional applications. Patent pending.

WHY A SEPARATOR, NOW

The application

A DOE application to demonstrate recycling at INTEC is under review. Selection would not be an award of funds. Nothing has been selected.

The gap

Element and fission-product separation is the work. This company has not measured it. The gap is real. The machine is not.

Not a plant

Proto 10 is a bench instrument. It is not a production plant, and it is not a reactor.

THE PATH TO FIRST LIGHT

A sequence. Not a promised date.

Now

The specification is written. The axial-field coil, rotating-field drive, vacuum system, and diagnostics are not purchased.

Next

Buy that hardware. Assemble the bench. Commission it. No product leaves the building.

Then

Take the first-light measurement. No date is promised. The result is earned on the bench.

WHERE CAPITAL GOES

A planning sequence for this separator. Not a budget. No dollar figure.

1 · Buy

Purchase the specified Proto 10 hardware. It is not purchased today.

2 · Assemble

Build the bench and commission the vacuum system and diagnostics.

3 · Measure

Take the first-light measurement. No date is promised.

4 · Then decide

The result sets the next step. No product revenue is assumed.
