Scientific Basis of NEX Technology™
The GoVolta NEXBRIDGE™ device is designed to harness disturbance-enabled exchange pathways. This principle has been established in leading physics research:
-
Cassak et al. (2023, Physical Review Letters): Systems far from equilibrium open measurable new energy channels.
-
Cassak et al. (2024, Physical Review E): Quantified effective power density in evolving non-equilibrium systems.
-

GoVolta Translation: We engineer disturbance-enable exchange pathways into a practical electrical converter.

Non-equilibrium exchange
Cassak et al. (2023–24) demonstrated that when systems are driven out of equilibrium, new measurable energy exchange channels appear — a foundation that GoVolta applies in electrical form.
How NEX Technology Works
NEX (Non-Equilibrium eXchange) uses a small priming input (~0.5 W) to drive a system out of equilibrium. This opens new exchange pathways, letting ambient energy couple into the circuit and deliver sustained power. Each NEXBRIDGE™ card is compact (8 × 12 cm, 5 cm thick) and produces ~5–7 W.
How It Scales
Single Card → ~5–7 W.
Rack Board (6 cards) → ~30–40 W.
Cabinet System → multiple rack boards on a bus → 100 W prototypes (2025), 1 kW systems (2026).
Energy Storage
To deliver usable power, a second cabinet with supercapacitors and batteries is paired with the conversion cabinet. At 1 kW scale, the storage cabinet is about the same size as the converter cabinet, ensuring balanced performance.
This modular system works like a server rack: add more cards for more power, pair with storage for resilience.
GoVolta is the first to translate these principles into a practical electrical system, delivering sustained power beyond the priming input while fully respecting conservation of energy.
