AIR-BRICK

Simple hardware.
Relentless optimisation.

The AIR-BRICK is deliberately designed as a cheap, repeatable air-contact platform. The chassis survives while the cartridge chemistry gets better.

AIR-BRICK Phase 1
Launch architecture — concept visual

Launch architecture

Used IBC-style structural cage / pallet base.
Removable UC-16 mineral cartridge.
Low-cost axial launch fan.
Simple moisture bar and weather hood.
Inlet/outlet sampling ports for measurement.
Phase-2 EC fan upgrade without redesigning the cartridge.
Current programme target
2.5–5 tCO₂/y

per optimised AIR-BRICK after iterative R&D, while preserving low pressure drop and low energy use.

Forward-looking target; not yet measured AIR-ROCK output.
The optimisation loop

One chassis. Many chemistry experiments.

Four miniature rigs test the variables quickly. The best configuration graduates into a full AIR-BRICK. What wins at full scale gets rolled across the installed fleet.

A

Particle size

Identify the finest practical reactive fraction without creating unacceptable pressure drop or handling cost.

B

Moisture

Optimise wetting, humidity and wet-dry cycles to accelerate mineralisation without flooding pore space.

C

Geometry

Optimise media thickness, channels and face velocity for maximum CO₂ removed per unit of fan energy.

Designed around renewable power

AIR-BRICK is being engineered to minimise electrical demand so commercial farms can be paired with rooftop solar and, where appropriate, wind generation. Grid electricity can support commissioning, build-out and balancing; actual renewable shares will be measured and reported from operating sites rather than assumed.

What we are deliberately not doing

No high-temperature sorbent regeneration. No vacuum swing. No compressed CO₂ pipeline. No giant one-off plant before chemistry is optimised. AIR-ROCK is designed around inexpensive mineral media, low-pressure airflow and repetition.

Founders 1,000 is the forward-purchase programme designed to turn the platform from engineering into production.
