Final Month: Invest as NASA and Navy Tap Into this “Infinite” Fuel Source

From space travel to deep sea exploration, an “infinite” fuel source could change everything – and you still have time to invest in the company with over $50M in contracts to date to develop it

Organizations like the US Navy and NASA are enlisting Infinity Fuel to bring them into a new era of renewable power. The company’s fuel cell technology is already powering a new generation of Uncrewed Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) for defense missions. These can extend the range and duration of underwater drones by up to 10X compared to batteries

What makes this possible is Infinity’s air-independent fuel cell technology. It literally turns water and electricity into hydrogen and oxygen and back again.

This has huge potential to impact:

  • The future of EVs, space travel, and more

  • Supplying power to 1.7B+ people living off-grid

  • Reducing carbon emissions around the world

Infinity has also launched their technology aboard (2) experimental test flights on Blue Origin’s New Shepard missions NS-23 and NS-24. A few of their team members have even been involved in NASA space fuel cell programs since their very beginning in the 1960s.

With less than a month left in their funding round, see how you can become one of Infinity’s earliest shareholders by 10/25.
