R&D Support Layer
Voluntary Participation in Engineering Development Processes
This page is not a crowdfunding campaign.
It is not a donation drive.
It is a structured interface for voluntary support of ongoing engineering development and validation processes within the VENDOR technology program — autonomous electrodynamic power node architecture protected under patent WO2024209235 (PCT), validated at TRL 5–6 with over 1,000 cumulative operational hours.
an investment or financial instrument
a product purchase or preorder
a promise of future financial benefit
Voluntary support for a specific engineering process with defined milestones and measurable outputs.
This interface was introduced following repeated informal requests from engineers, operators, and external observers asking for a structured way to participate in the development process.
These requests did not relate to investment or commercial access, but to direct support of ongoing engineering work at the laboratory level. Until now, no such mechanism existed publicly.
This page provides a formalized, transparent, and non-commercial way to support defined R&D activities without altering pilot programs, validation protocols, or institutional investment pathways.
What Requires Resources
at This Stage
The transition from TRL 5–6 toward certification readiness is not abstract progress. It is a sequence of concrete physical expenditures: measurement hardware, test stands, safety equipment, component batches, and continuous laboratory operations.
Institutional financing
Typically covers the strategic layer — capital rounds, certification milestones, and manufacturing scale pathways.
Voluntary contributions
Cover operational needs at the current stage — directly, without administrative delay, going straight into the laboratory.
| Stage | Engineering Task | What Requires Resources |
|---|---|---|
| TRL 5–6 | Laboratory validation and regime stability | Measurement hardware, consumables, component batches |
| TRL 6–7 | Extended endurance testing and measurement cycles | Test stands, data acquisition systems, component replacement cycles |
| TRL 7–8 | Pilot deployment and certification pathway | CE / UL / ISO procedures, field-ready prototypes, safety equipment |
Every operational laboratory cycle advances the system along its validation path. Supporting that cycle is a direct contribution to a defined engineering outcome.
How Support Is Allocated
All received contributions are directed exclusively toward the technology.

About the Project
VENDOR develops autonomous electrodynamic power node architecture for infrastructure deployment — systems designed to operate in environments constrained by limited grid access, without fuel-based logistics, and without dependence on battery cycling.
The architecture is protected under patent WO2024209235 (PCT) and ES2950176 (granted, Spain).
