Section 03 // The Breakthrough

Working with the physics,
not against it.

Innovation 01

Start with the converter.

Most electrolysis systems treat power electronics as off-the-shelf and the cell as a chemistry problem. But electrolysis is a dynamic electrochemical load with changing impedance, gas formation, and field effects. TOBE's power stage is designed around how energy couples into the cell—power delivery and cell geometry engineered as one coupled system.

  • Purpose-built waveforms optimized for electrolysis behavior
  • Stable control as load characteristics shift
  • Fewer downstream compromises in stack and balance-of-plant

Innovation 02

Deliver energy the way the cell needs.

Because the power stage is designed around field behavior and coupling, we can rework the electrolysis geometry and operate with water-based feed rather than relying on caustic electrolyte to force conductivity.

  • Safer handling & simpler operations—no caustic storage or dosing
  • Cleaner system integration—fewer fluid subsystems
  • Materials flexibility—no specialized electrolyte-compatible components
The Result

Skip the expensive and dangerous.
Keep the low emissions.

By engineering the power electronics and cell as one system, we eliminate the caustic chemicals, complex cooling, and hazardous electrolyte handling that make conventional systems expensive and difficult to operate.
