Historically the grid has absorbed demand shocks through large coal and gas-fired generators which come online when required to stabilize and smooth out the demand/supply curve. As those plants are retired due to economic underperformance, the remainder of the grid is insufficient to handle the dynamism of the grid of the future. Lithium-ion batteries have been deployed as a replacement, but they are the wrong tool for the job, degrading much more rapidly than expected due to the speed and magnitude of modern high-frequency power cycles.

Spinor slingshots energy into a magnetic field using superconducting coils. The current is contained in a lossless loop with no friction and no loss. There are no rotors to wear, chemical reactions to cycle or resistance to overcome. The system charges and discharges near-instantaneously, indefinitely, without loss.

Tyler visited Kenya at eight, where he saw communities with no power after dark, and decided his life's work was to make energy abundant, cheap, and available to everyone. In high school he founded a company that deployed 150+ solar microgrids for homeless communities across the Pacific Northwest. After studying at Caltech, he joined SpaceX, to lead end-to-end design and manufacturing for the Starlink solar systems. He's applying the learnings that scaled space-grade power systems into orbit to make superconducting storage ubiquitous.

Spinor makes energy abundance usable by capturing electrons the moment they're in excess and releasing them the moment they're in demand. This expands possibility across all industries: spiky, volatile loads that would historically strain energy systems are now the source of abundance.
