01 / The Vision

We build the Multi-Disc Rotary Generator — a new modular turbine that converts methane today and natural hydrogen tomorrow into power and industrial heat.

It is designed for low cost production, fast deployment, and easy service in traditional grid and behind-the-meter electricity generation applications.

Our methane mitigation units are field deployable directly at the wellhead for abandoned, stranded, and vented resource recapture for well-to-power applications.

02 / The Holding Company

Twenty years of building our vision.

And we're just getting started.

Enthusiast Companies LLC was founded in Atlanta in 2005 as a long-horizon development vehicle, anchored by a specialty insurance product for automotive enthusiasts. We've started, operated, and consulted companies in the insurance, automotive, chemical, energy, and blockchain industries over the last 20 years.

In 2023, Enthusiast Companies LLC deployed assets into the formation of Enthusiast Companies Incorporated and three operating companies to create the vision of our founder Brian Peck.

04 / The Problem

Why this doesn't already exist.

Three structural blockers have kept incumbents out of stranded gas and natural hydrogen.

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 or fossil-grid electrolysis never closes the economics. Clean hydrogen needs to come from underground, not from a chemical plant.

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. We're building precisely that.

05 / 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 Tesla's turbine physics into the engine is made. Anchored in 40 years of his own hydrogen research, Billings mentored Brian for 6 years.

January 2025

The USGS confirmed it.

The first comprehensive federal assessment of naturally occurring subsurface hydrogen. The inventory was vast. The MDRG 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.

MDRG-MK6-NGT prototype in active engineering. Methane to electricity at sites no one else will serve. The same hardware runs on natural hydrogen when the resource matures.

06 / 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 turbine converts methane to firm, dispatchable electricity. Base case revenue.

EPC
Active · Today
02

Methane Abatement — Carbon Optionality.

Wellhead deployment eliminates fugitive methane. Voluntary carbon credits as upside — not modeled in base case.

EPC
Future Upside
03

Heat-as-a-Service — CHP Mode.

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

EPC
Future Upside
04

Natural Hydrogen — Exploration.

USGS-confirmed subsurface resource. MDRG is fuel-flexible — ready as the prime mover when supply matures.

EHC
Long Horizon
05

Downstream Chemicals — Feedstock.

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

EPdC
Long Horizon
Enthusiast Companies platform vision: Hydrogen → MDRG turbine → Power and Products
Extract methane and hydrogen gases from the earth. Combust them in the MDRG for electricity and heat. Use the waste heat to generate ammonia, methanol, and sustainable fuels.
07 / The Technology

Multi-Disc Rotary Hybrid Turbine Engine.

Modular turbine-generator combining disc-based boundary-layer flow with conventional bladed staging — engineered for the small, variable, contaminated gas streams that define abandoned-well operations.

Program: MK6-NGT — Prototype / Proof of Concept Phase

DISC ROTOR / MK6-NGT REPRESENTATIVE GEOMETRY · NOT TO SCALE Ø 198 IN718
PILLAR 01
Today

Methane.

Low-economic and stranded methane → firm, grid-tied or behind-the-meter electricity. Economics work without subsidy.

PILLAR 02
Future

Industrial Heat.

Exhaust thermal stream as CHP for agriculture, industry, and community-scale loads. Future upside — not in base case.

PILLAR 03
Future

Hydrogen.

Same disc-and-housing architecture, fuel-flexible by design. Prime mover for hydrogen as natural-H₂ matures.

Key Differentiators

Why this works.

01

Hybrid Innovation.

Hybrid bladed/bladeless Tesla-type architecture — engineered for low cost, rapid deployment, and easy serviceability. Capable of unpolished wellhead gas combustion.

02

Modular Architecture.

Novel Disc Rotor Assembly at the core. Simple modular components, bolt-together, field-serviceable. No welded structures, no special processes, no factory returns.

03

Tesla Provenance.

Engine envisioned 1987 at age ten. Family lineage to Charles Fletcher Peck — Tesla's first investor — surfaced four decades later. The dream came first; the heritage supports it.

04

Market Timing.

Federal and state methane programs are creating active demand for distributed conversion hardware that doesn't exist at this scale. The needs are only increasing.

05

Stacked Economics.

Power revenue today on pipe or wellhead. Carbon and methane abatement, CHP heat, natural hydrogen, and clean chemicals as the platform matures. Layers compound, not depend.

08 / The Opportunity
770K+

Marginal natural gas wells across the United States — producing energy below the threshold any major power generator is built to serve.

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.

Federal policy favors firm, dispatchable, domestic generation. The MDRG 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.

The Multi-Disc Rotary Hybrid Turbine Engine is the family's continuation of work begun more than a century ago, although unknowingly for more than 20 years.

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 MDRG 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
