01 / The Vision

We build the Multi-Disc Rotary Generator (MDRG) — a turbocharged Brayton-cycle turbine engine and electrical generator system that converts methane and hydrogen into dispatchable electricity and heat.

We've been exploring the ReelFoot Rift in the central United States since 2023 for natural hydrogen systems — a future energy source.

We're working to modularize and miniaturize chemical production processes for ammonia and methanol that utilize hydrogen as a feedstock.

Together our companies are building a new clean energy and chemicals enterprise - Enthusiast Companies.

All we need is you!

Brian Peck

Founder / Inventor / CEO

Two decades of operational leadership across broadcast, insurance, automotive, chemistry, electronics, and power infrastructure propel 20 years of invention and a lifetime of vision.

A FOUR-DECADE ARC — DREAM TO ENTERPRISE 1987 The Dream Engine envisioned at age ten 2004–05 Formalized Engine specified; LLC founded in Atlanta 2017 Hydrogen Pivot Geological supply surfaces as the path 2025 Convergence USGS confirms H₂; Peck lineage surfaces TODAY Three Corporations Power · Hydrogen · Products

Brian learned in 2025 that he is a relative of Charles Fletcher Peck — Nikola Tesla's first investor and business partner — the financial backer of the Polyphase System that built the modern alternating-current grid. The MK6-NGT is the family's continuation of work begun more than a century ago, although unknowingly for more than 20 years. See the original contract on Google Arts below.

05 / The Problem

Why this doesn't already exist.

Stranded gas does not have an economic pathway to market. Vented gas is a liability. Hydrogen is carbon and resource intenstive.

P · 01

Engines weren't designed for the fuel that's actually there.

Bladed turbines, reciprocating engines, and fuel cells were engineered for clean, dry, pipeline-grade gas — not the dirty, low-pressure streams that define marginal wells.

P · 02

Clean hydrogen is too expensive to make.

Hydrogen from gas reformation is a large global CO2 producer and conventional fossil-grid or intermittent-renewable electrolysis never closes the economics gap.

P · 03

No real scalable, low-capex path to deploy.

The industry lacks modular, field-serviceable, sub-$200K-class hardware for pipeline or wellhead generation that can produce revenue.

06 / Origin Story

How we got here.

A dream, a desire to learn, and time didn't arrive together. They converged over 40 years to define a vision of a clean energy and chemicals enterprise.

1987

The dream.

At ten years old, Brian dreamed of a continuous-flow heat engine that could run the world on a clean fuel - hydrogen. The curiosity was born. The engine geometry stayed.

2004

The first prototype.

A modified Felix Wankel-style heat engine built and tested. Hydrogen supply at the scale needed didn't exist. Project shelved; research continued.

2005

Enthusiast Companies LLC is founded.

Incorporated in Atlanta as the long-horizon development vehicle, anchored by an automotive specialty insurance line. The energy work ran in parallel for two decades.

2017

The technical challenge.

A direct challenge from hydrogen pioneer Roger Billings to incorporate Nikola Tesla's boundary layer fluid dynamics work into his engine. Billings mentored Brian for 6 years anchored in hydrogen research that began in the 1960's — work that anticipated by nearly forty years the natural-hydrogen frontier companies are drilling today.

January 2025

The USGS confirmed it.

The first comprehensive federal assessment of naturally occurring subsurface hydrogen. The inventory was vast. The MDRG program was no longer waiting for hydrogen to become real — it was waiting for the resource it was built to run on.

2025

The family connection surfaced.

Genealogical work surfaced that Brian is a relative of Charles Fletcher Peck — Nikola Tesla's first investor and business partner, co-signer of the Polyphase System contract that built the modern AC grid.

2026 — Today

Methane first. Hydrogen ready.

MK6-NGT prototype in active engineering. Methane to electricity at sites too small for pipelines but too big to ignore. The architecture awaits natural hydrogen flows a new generating future.

07 / The Platform

Five layers. One well site.

Same well site, same hardware, same operating relationship — multiple revenue layers, each independently valuable.

01

Distributed Generation — Power.

MK6-NGT generator converts methane to firm, dispatchable electricity to the grid or behind the meter.

02

Methane Abatement — Carbon Optionality.

Wellhead deployment eliminates fugitive methane. Voluntary carbon credits and methane abatement incentives are upsides.

EPC

03

Heat-as-a-Service — CHP Mode.

Exhaust thermal stream recoverable for agricultural drying, process heat, community loads.

EPC
Phase 1+ Upside
04

Natural Hydrogen.

USGS-confirmed subsurface resource; industry moving to commercialization. MDRG architecture is hydrogen-capable preserving fuel-flexibility upside for Enthusiast Hydrogen integration.

EHC

05

Downstream Chemicals — Feedstock.

Hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, sustainable aviation fuel from upstream resource and waste heat.

Phase 3
Enthusiast Companies platform vision: Methane and hydrogen → MK6-NGT generator → Power and Products
Phase 1: Extract methane from marginal wells. Convert it through the MK6-NGT for electricity and heat. Long-horizon: hydrogen and waste-heat chemistry as upstream supply matures.
08 / The Technology

MDRG-MK6-NGT.

Modular turbine-generator sized for the small, variable, contaminated gas streams that define marginal-well operations.

PILLAR 01
Today

Methane.

Low-economic and stranded methane → firm, grid-tied or behind-the-meter electricity.

PILLAR 02
Future

Industrial Heat.

Exhaust thermal stream as CHP for agriculture, industry, and community-scale loads.

PILLAR 03
Future

Hydrogen.

Same disc-and-housing architecture, fuel-flexible by design. Hydrogen-capable upside as natural-H₂ matures.

Key Differentiators

Why this works.

01

Engineered for Marginal Wells.

Tolerant of unpolished wellhead gas without preprocessing. Low cost, rapid deployment, easy serviceability.

02

Modular Architecture.

Novel Disc Rotor Assembly at the core. Simple modular components bolt-together and are field-serviceable.

03

DMLS Process IP.

Single-shot Direct Metal Laser Sintering of most components.

04

Market Timing.

Operators face declining well economics and flaring restrictions, creating active demand for distributed conversion hardware that doesn't exist at this scale.

05

Stacked Economics.

Power revenue today on pipe or wellhead. Carbon and methane abatement and CHP heat as Phase 1+ upside. Hydrogen and chemicals as natural hydrogen fully develops.

09 / The Opportunity
55K+

Marginal natural gas wells across the four-state Midcontinent — producing energy below pipeline gathering minimums.

Opportunity isn't knocking, it's shouting.

A regulatory, infrastructure, and economic convergence opened a door that didn't exist five years ago.

01

Flaring restrictions are tightening.

Federal methane rules are phasing out routine flaring — operators must capture gas or shut wells in. Both create demand for distributed hardware.

02

Grid reliability is a national priority.

Grid operators and corporate buyers want firm, dispatchable, domestic generation. The MK6-NGT fits exactly — American gas, firm baseload, off-grid sites.

03

Distributed energy is finally bankable.

State and regional capital is actively financing distributed generation, behind-the-meter assets, and stranded-resource monetization at scale.

11 / A Note From The Founder

"I've watched new energy develop and I'm a firm believer that there are perfect uses for all of them.

However, there are not perfect energies for all uses. There Is No Energy Silver Bullet."

— Brian Peck

Hydrogen is not for everything. Different forms of energy excel in different places. The right technologies show new paths to the same common problem.

The question I keep coming back to: how do we make cheap, environmentally friendly, easy electricity?

Methane is the bridge and the problem. Abandoned wells are the revenue and the liability. The MK6-NGT is a solution for both. Natural hydrogen — confirmed at scale — is the long horizon. Tools, resources, and people are converging at exactly the right moment.

We don't need to reinvent everything. Earth is a big place with world-class technology already in place, ready to pair with the hydrogen and stranded-energy future. Read, investigate, research — and when you're ready, help us build.

All we need is you.

You cannot pick the time or place of your success. You can only be prepared to receive it. — Brian Peck
