“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

Buckminster Fuller, architect, systems theorist and futurist

The Fourth Transition Initiative (FTI) is based on the patented nGeni Technology:


  • For engineers: highly efficient, point-of-use power generation and energy storage system with a performance coefficient typically well over 100% and up to ~400% (i.e., emulating the Earth-Life system’s performance of some 440%), via an indirectly heated, recuperated Brayton-Ericsson thermodynamic cycle, using positive displacement machines, with heat pump and heat transformer functionality, that is integrated into advanced, intelligent energy and communications nS.O. networks endowed with a new type of distributed artificial intelligence, the whole system becoming rapidly 100% solar-based as it is deployed.

  • For everyone else: a range of nGeni GreenBox appliances networked for energy and communications that provides directly at the point of use over 100% productive energy outputs relative to primary energy inputs by emulating what Lichens (and Life in general) do, with the energy outputs supplied in real time in the forms required by end-users (motive power, electricity, high, medium, low temperature heat, hot water, air conditioning, refrigeration, and freezing).

  • Highly disruptive: nGeni makes use exclusively of proven, well established, methods, components, business models, financial models, science and engineering that are directly relevant and necessary to successfully address the Dead State threat in ways that enable substituting rapidly for obsolete internal combustion engines, steam, gas and wind turbines, most photovoltaics, most utility-scale and EV batteries, and most current forms of energy and communication networking, including current data centres.


After some 5000 years, money in all its forms is way past its use-by date. Monetary and economic thinking precludes passing beyond Dead State. With its novel design and implementation of proprietary NFT and utility tokens, soundly grounded in thermodynamics,

nGeni enables passing beyond money, not merely “cashless” but wholly moneyless, and

render economic thinking obsolete: “Money is out, Wealth is in”.


FTI has an extensive roadmap for further disruptive IP developments and patent filings.


Unparalleled performance


Starting from a zero-base, progressing from 1st principles, with present available knowledge, no one in their right minds would build the present, hugely inefficient, Global Energy Supply and Use Technological system (GESUS - remember this acronym, we'll be coming back to it later). Instead, our performance levels stem from the five principles of thermodynamics and their counterparts in systems dynamics, in ways that emulate the thermodynamics of Life on Earth.


Key question we answer: Where are the sources of present, appalling 88% GESUS inefficiency? How to emulate Earth-Life and achieve highly efficient, sustainable systems? How to implement such systems to abruptly change the global game?


The outcome: achieving overall energy performances well above 100% (over 400% in numerous instances) at lower costs than all legacies or “renewables”, through the integration of “micro power station” and heat pump functionality directly at or very near the point of use and intelligent networking of both energy and communications. That is, an estimated €0.04/kWh once mass deployed directly at the point of use in domestic or commerce settings.


Unique innovation leveraging feature: nGeni is designed to make a very wide range of innovations thermodynamically and thus economically viable and competitive. Presently, under the Dead State threat, nearly all Climate Emergency and Sustainability oriented emerging technologies are in danger, and thus corresponding investments in them. nGeni’s inherent thermodynamic performances removes that threat and competitiveness stumbling blocks. It ensures their viability and ongoing profitability.


Similarly, starting from a zero-base, progressing from 1st principles, with present available knowledge, no one in their right minds would build the present, hugely inefficient, monetary/financial system.


Instead, the four sets of nGeni breakthroughs enable moving on beyond money and economics in fully sustainable, prosperous ways.


Market


nGeni provides absolute comparative advantages. In the face of the Dead State threat all main energy conversion technologies are de facto obsolete. The logic is one of accelerated technology paradigm substitution. Any activity that requires a power source may be competitively powered by nGeni (agriculture, industry, commerce, residential, and all forms of transport).


By retrieving a substantial part of the trillions Euros/year presently lost globally due to over 88% energy wastage in ways that enable going beyond money in all its forms, crypto included, the nGeni-based Fourth Transition can rapidly become self-funding and self-powering, generating abundant prosperity for all involved: “Money is out, Wealth is in”.


Total Addressable Market (TAM) of disruptive, IP protected nGeni Integral Energy Technology: ~90% of all energy uses world-wide translating into over €10 Trillion/year in today’s currency value.


TAM irrespective of the actual speed of global warming, related ecological, social and financial challenges and of governmental or private sector responses (or lack of) to those threats.


Yes, we know, this sounds highly surprising.


Positive impact on Nature


The sole safe global warming limit of 350ppm CO2 was crossed over 34 years ago. Combining CO2, CH4 and other GHG emissions with the rapid drop in the Earth’s albedo, the current atmospheric CO2 equivalent level is 670ppm CO2. This means that global warming is on track to rise above a lethal 3 degrees C level well before 2050. Current Carbon capture and sequestration technologies are not thermodynamically viable when considered in a mine-to-grave, systems dynamics perspective.


Reforestation, soil regeneration, mass algae or biochar carbon sequestration, and rock

weatherisation can’t suffice within the remaining timeframe. nGeni enables sustainable, massive capture of CO2 from exhausts and from the atmosphere competitively, affordably to rapidly bring back CO2 levels to below 350ppm over two to three decades.


Furthermore, achieving about three times more energy supply globally with about half the present total installed power in clean ways translates into a drastic reduction of all forms of pollution, enables mass recycling of materials and repairing the extensive damage inflicted on Earth-Life to date.


One “Round” to change the World


By “shorting” the current system before it crumbles, to the best of our knowledge, we estimate that early investors’ rewards stand to be comparable to an estimated 1400 exit multiple on year five, in today’s venture capital language.


That is, once the first quantum of funding has been raised, the door shuts. This is all that is

required to trigger a global paradigm change. This is a one round game.


Beyond this we plan numerous similar “rounds” concerning the downstream development and deployment of the full, extensive range of applications. That is, still in today’s venture capital language, FTI is structured to be a novel kind of “unicorn making factory”.


In recent years, worldwide, the cognitive gap between cutting edge science and the world of decision-making in business, venture capital and government has grown huge. We invite you to break ranks with the crowd of blind losers. Join our revolutionary journey: transition in the nick of time the whole of our world beyond both fossil-based legacies and (non) renewables for all forms of energy use, as well as beyond the use of money, over the whole spectrum

of human activities.


In short:


Presently the whole of the globalised industrial world is in a “dead man walking” situation, locked in a thermodynamic trap, condemned to Dead State in the near term; a situation 100% of decision-makers in business and government remain blind to, transfixed as they are by the Climate Emergency and umpteen other consequences of having ignored thermodynamics for some 300 years.


What’s the value of a paradigm change that provides a “get-out-of-jail-free-card”

and opens the gate to global, sustainable, 100% solar-based, renewed prosperity?


In other words, this is the most important opportunity you will ever encounter.
