About Armadillo Labs

Armadillo Labs is a Texas-based R&D company building open-source energy technologies. Founded by an engineer with a background spanning chemistry, electrical engineering, HVAC systems, and industrial automation — this isn't a research paper mill. It's a lab that builds things.

The approach is straightforward: take complex energy problems, prototype solutions with real equipment, and make the designs accessible. Reactor vessels, PLC-controlled processes, high-voltage systems, industrial homogenizers — if a concept can be tested on the bench, it gets tested.

The Vision

The U.S. electrical grid loses 5-6% of generated electricity during transmission and distribution. That's billions of kilowatt-hours wasted annually. Meanwhile, centralized generation creates single points of failure, and most "clean energy" solutions require massive capital and institutional backing.

Armadillo Labs takes a different approach: small-scale, modular, deployable systems that real people can use. Hydrogen generation from solar, high-efficiency electrolysis, superconducting transmission, complete off-grid living systems — all designed to be built, not just theorized.

The goal isn't to compete for defense contracts or institutional grants. It's to prove that accessible, open-source energy technology can reduce grid dependence at the scale of homes, farms, and small communities.

Philosophy

Prove It on the Bench

Theory without testing is speculation. Every concept gets prototyped with real equipment and repurposed components before making any claims.

Open-Source by Default

Designs, methods, and results are shared openly. The point is to advance accessible energy technology, not gatekeep it.

Repurpose, Don't Overbuild

Industrial surplus, salvage components, and creative engineering produce better results than custom-fabricated everything. Practical beats expensive.

Human Scale

Systems designed for homes, workshops, and small communities — not utility-scale infrastructure requiring millions in capital.
