Fuel, power & water
made from thin air.
NovaSpark builds mobile atmospheric hydrogen generators — Air-to-Power systems that produce hydrogen fuel, electricity, and clean water on-site, with no grid, no diesel, and no supply convoy.
Energy independence, engineered into a box.
Each mobile unit — roughly the footprint of two porta-potties — pulls its inputs straight from the environment and delivers mission-ready energy wherever it lands.
Harvest
On-board photovoltaic panels and a compact wind turbine generate clean electricity, while the system pulls water vapor directly from atmospheric humidity — no water hookup required.
Split
That renewable power drives an electrolysis cell that separates the harvested water into hydrogen at one electrode and oxygen at the other.
Store
Hydrogen is compressed and stored safely on-board, ready to fuel long-range drones, generators, and fuel-cell equipment on demand.
Deploy
Modular nodes scale from 3 to 250 kg of hydrogen per day and airdrop or truck into contested, remote, or disaster-struck sites in hours.
One system, three products. Every deployment yields hydrogen fuel, on-site electrical power, and potable water — eliminating the supply-chain vulnerabilities of trucked-in diesel and bottled resources.
Where the grid can't reach.
Field-proven for defense, and purpose-built to scale into the commercial and civil sectors that depend on resilient, off-grid energy.

From founding to field-tested.
A veteran-led climb from a founding idea to active Department of Defense contracts and a scaling U.S. manufacturing base.
Founded by veterans & engineers
A team who saw firsthand how fuel logistics limit operations set out to make energy from the air — patenting a mobile, modular atmospheric hydrogen generator.
Defense Innovation Unit contract
DIU awards NovaSpark a contract to develop its Air-to-Power mobile hydrogen solution, working alongside the Marine Corps Expeditionary Energy Office and Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific.
Lockheed Martin's #1 small-business success
Named Lockheed Martin's top Small Business Innovation success story of the year, alongside active work with the U.S. Air Force, Army, and Marines.
Boot64 Ventures seed round
Closed a seed investment led by Louisiana-based Boot64 Ventures, focused on national-resilience startups, to accelerate hydrogen innovation for defense and critical infrastructure.
Ascent Solar teaming agreement
Partnered with Ascent Solar to pair its lightweight thin-film photovoltaics with NovaSpark's hydrogen systems — airdroppable power for drones and terrestrial defense applications.
$30M Louisiana expansion
Announced a $30 million manufacturing expansion across Houma and West Monroe, Louisiana — hundreds of new jobs and a domestic base to scale from military to commercial deployment.
What's next.
The roadmap ahead: scale manufacturing, deepen defense integrations, and open the technology to broader commercial and civil markets.
Louisiana manufacturing
Standing up production in Houma and West Monroe to move atmospheric hydrogen from field trials to volume output.
Expeditionary integration
Continued work with DoD partners to embed on-site hydrogen into long-range drone and forward-operating-base logistics.
Beyond the battlefield
Extending field-tested systems into disaster response, critical infrastructure, and remote industrial energy.
Bring energy independence to your mission.
