FULMEN
Power that doesn't burn.
A clean-sheet Reinventy programme for a load-bearing, fire-safe pulse-power buffer: a structural supercapacitor optimized for power rather than energy.
CONCEPT-STAGE R&D · STRUCTURAL POWER-CELL VALIDATION IS THE NEXT GATE
Concept visualization · not a tested FULMEN article · no measured performance implied
01 · The leap
From stored weight to structural pulse power.
Batteries pursue energy and introduce fire risk. FULMEN explores a different role: a structural supercapacitor designed for rapid high-power bursts, long cycle life and a non-flammable inorganic chemistry while the same architecture carries mechanical load.
02 · One structure, three ambitions
Power first. Fire out of the equation.
FULMEN's novelty path is the integration of pulse power, non-flammable chemistry and structural function in one governed architecture.
Burst
Pursue rapid high-specific-power delivery for loads that conventional structural batteries are not designed to serve.
Endure
Design for long electrical cycle life while the material remains under declared mechanical load.
Carry
Use carbon-fibre electrode architecture and inorganic chemistry as part of a load-bearing system.
03 · Born inside Alchemi
Power-system knowledge frames the transient. Alchemi designs the material path.
Reinventy combines materials, power electronics and structural design experience to define the pulse that matters. Alchemi then governs electrode candidates, multiphysics trade-offs and the cell campaign that must measure electrical and mechanical behaviour together.
04 · Civil pathways first
Civil infrastructure already pays for unmanaged peaks.
Regeneration, grid response and industrial pulse loads offer open, bounded environments for evidence before sensitive variants proceed.
Regenerative braking
Rail, crane and lift systems that repeatedly capture and release short high-power events.
Grid response
Fast frequency support and bounded peak-shaving architectures.
Industrial pulse loads
Equipment whose short transients drive oversizing of the wider electrical system.
Advanced mobility
Structural buffers for platforms where mass, fire safety and transient power interact.
05 · Evidence path
A power buffer must be loaded twice.
FULMEN advances only when electrical burst response, impedance, cycling, fire behaviour and mechanical properties are measured on the same traceable architecture.
Programme definition
Pulse profile, mechanical role and evidence boundary are declared.
Structural cells
Measure impedance, burst power and cycling while specimens carry mechanical load.
Next gateFire-safe module
Integrate inorganic chemistry and characterize coupled electrical-mechanical behaviour.
Demonstrator
Transfer validated response to a bounded regenerative or industrial power module.
Build the evidence
A partner for the first physical FULMEN campaign.
Reinventy is interested in power-electronics, rail, industrial mobility and structural-test partners able to validate the combined architecture.
