Frequently Asked Questions

We specialize in commercial and residential audio, video, power, and control products.  Our expertise includes AC and DC power distribution, window treatment, control systems, Audio and Video encoding and decoding and more.

We were founded by Tim Marshall, Paul Bryson, and Mike Braithwaite in Austin Texas, USA January 2024.

We are members of AVIXA, Bluetooth SIG, CEDIA, Connectivity Standards Association. and more

We are working on several products, however, the first to be released are ReaKtor, Tokamak, Stellarator, Collider, and Tritan in Q4 of 2024

Yes, we have developed commercial and residential products with several partner companies including Acoustic Pro Ltd, AMX, Atlantic Technology, Autonomic, Crestron Electronics, Inc., Fandango, GE, Harman International, Microsoft, Naim Audio Ltd, NetStreams, NuVision, Olibra, Polk Audio, Samsung, Screen Innovations, Somfy Systems Inc

Yes, we have over 100 Patents issued and pending with the USPTO, WIPO, and other International Patent offices and we have several Trademarks in the USPTO.

The 72 Nm rating on ReaKtor is the maximum actuator capacity.  Simply add up all your actuators to determine how many ReaKtors will be needed on your project.  For example, if your project has actuators that are rated @ 2Nm, then you can connect a maximum of 22 actuators per ReaKtor.  Conversely, if your Actuator is rated at 36Nm, then you could only connect 2 actuators.

Yes, you can use either a standard Somfy 1822440, or purchase a Modern Atomics bus supply or Tokamak Fusion Core Hub for up to 8 ReaKtors.

Yes, the ReaKtor removes power from your actuators to reduce power consumption.  Your 3rd party or voice control system will still work as normal due to the embedded Edge AI actuator bot inside the ReaKtor(s).  The Edge AI bot will respond to any commands or queries, and you will retain 100% functionality.  

Depends on the actuator model you have.  We have tested all current models and they can consume up to 43mA, and as little as 8mA on the very latest models.  For example, let's use a 50mm actuator with 4Nm torque.  These draw 25mA when idle, and this means you would consume up to 5.2 kilowatt hours (kWh) per actuator per year.  Depending on your location the cost of your kWh will vary.  The highest electricity costs we have seen are in Hawaii, followed by New Hampshire, and California

For 98% of the time, ReaKtors do not normally consume any power, however, when they are harvesting or replenishing from its anodes from an in-line bus power supply or from a Fusion Core Hub, or from a Passive PoE injector they can consume up to 50mA for a very short amount of time.  Usually 10 - 15 minutes a day. 

This is the same as with any DC power supply.  It depends on the wire gauge.  For example, a Cat5 can have a length of 50M, but a larger cable with 16AWG can go up to 100M

Yes, this Patent pending type of molecular time-shifting technology and Cathode and Anode drive design is the safest molecular chemistry on the market and safer than the current AC power supplies you use today and the Lithium-Ion battery-powered shades you have already installed.  We are so confident in the safety and reliability that we place a 10 Year warranty on all ReaKtors, Stellarators, Colliders, and Tokamak Fusion Core Hubs

ReaKtor is undergoing several UL and UN safety testing for US and Canada 

Yes, ReaKtor, Stellarator, Collider, Tokamak Hub, and Tritan are all plenum rated.

No, ReaKtor, Stellarator, Collider, Tokamak Hub, and Tritan designated as IP30 for use indoors only.

No, ReaKtor, Stellarator, Collider, Tokamak Hub, and Tritan are all plug-and-play.  There is no software or dip switches needed to configure them.  The AI bot inside the ReaKtor can automatically discover the actuators, other ReaKtors, Fusion Core Hubs, and other 485 devices.  The AI's negotiate with each other for any harvesting needs and all user interfaces are auto programmed by the AI.

Any Somfy AC or DC SDN or AC or DC RTS, or any Low Voltage Zigbee Motors can work with a ReaKtor. Any Somfy AC SDN motor can work with Stellarators and Tritons, and any Somfy PoE motor can work with Collider.

Yes, Any SDN bus device such as DecoFlex keypads, RTS to SDN receiver, SI LABS Pegasus, Fontus, Moab, SDN 0-10v interfaces, UAI+ and TRO.Y / 2 IP gateways and other SDN hubs (Only for other SDN devices only no motors) such as In room hub, mini hub, 5 port hub and SI LABS Suite XVI Hub (Via AUX power input only) and Janus (As a Data Hub), 

ReaKtor is about 1/3 to 1/2 the cost per actuator than any other power supply on the market, so besides saving 90% per year on electricity costs, cut your power infrastructure in half or more!

Unlike traditional power supplies, Reaktor, Stellarator, and Collider create and stores the power for AC or DC motors to use.  With or without AC power you can still use the motors for several days or longer.

No, since there are no AC inputs and no Romex connections on any of these products.

Both ReaKtor and Tokamak Hubs can be mounted in a half or full rack mount, as well as inside a structured wiring enclosure(s) as well as on Din Rails.  ReaKtors can accommodate up to  44 two Nm actuators per 1RU rack space or can power up to 44 two Nm actuators per 16" wall-mounted box.  Tritan is a double gang decora in a wall-mounted device and cannot be mounted in a normal rack.  Tritan can power up to 3 AC actuators each.
