Enthusiast Companies builds modular power and heat generation hardware that converts stranded, low-economic, and abandoned wellhead methane into grid-tied and behind-the-meter electricity — on an architecture built for the natural hydrogen energy future.
We build the Multi-Disc Rotary Generator (MDRG) — a turbocharged, hybrid bladed/bladeless turbine engine and electrical generator that converts methane and hydrogen into dispatchable electricity and heat.
We have been exploring the Reelfoot Rift in the central United States since 2023 for naturally occurring geologic hydrogen — a future energy resource.
We are working to modularize and miniaturize the chemical production processes for ammonia and methanol that use hydrogen as a feedstock.
Together, our companies are building a new clean energy and chemicals enterprise — Enthusiast Companies.
Enthusiast Companies LLC was founded in Atlanta in 2004 as a long-horizon development vehicle, anchored by a specialty insurance product for automotive enthusiasts. Over twenty years we have started, operated, and consulted for companies across insurance, automotive, chemicals, energy, and blockchain.
In January 2023 the LLC deployed assets into the formation of Enthusiast Hydrogen Corporation and Enthusiast Products Corporation. Enthusiast Power Corporation followed in January 2025, incorporated in Missouri once the generator technology justified a vehicle of its own. Enthusiast Companies Incorporated stands as the future combination wrapper for the group.
The separation is deliberate. Each corporation carries its own risk, its own intellectual property, its own capital, and its own grant eligibility. Each must earn a standalone footing. Each can raise, partner, or exit independently, on a clean cap table.
The natural progression of our vision of a clean energy and chemicals enterprise.
The Multi-Disc Rotary Generator converts stranded, low-economic and abandoned wellhead methane into grid-tied and behind-the-meter electricity. A turbocharged Brayton-cycle machine rated 75 kWe nominal — one unit, one well, on gas conventional generation will not burn.
Naturally occurring geologic hydrogen — the fuel the engine was designed for. Continuous survey of the Reelfoot Rift since 2023, with proprietary detection built to locate the resource from surface, before a rig is ever moved.
Ammonia and downstream chemistry made at the wellhead from turbine exhaust. A modular skid that turns what the engine gives off into product that leaves the site on a truck rather than into the air.
A dream, a desire to learn, and time did not arrive together. They converged over forty years, one paver at a time.
"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."
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. Stranded and marginal wells are the revenue and the liability at once. The MK6 NGT is an answer to both. Natural hydrogen — now 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.
