Market
No moving parts. No power requirements. Inherently reliable in high-vibration, vacuum, and zero-gravity environments.
The Problem
Aerospace and defense fluid systems must perform in high-vibration, vacuum, extreme temperature, and zero-gravity environments where conventional pump-based systems fail or require impractical maintenance.
Any mechanical component is a potential failure point in these applications.
The Surnetics Solution
Passive surface-driven flow has no moving parts, requires no power, and is inherently immune to vibration, orientation, and vacuum environments.
This represents a paradigm shift for fluid management in space, satellite, and defense applications.
Competitive Advantages
No pumps, valves, or mechanical components — eliminating the primary failure mode in aerospace fluid systems.
Passive flow requires no electrical power, preserving critical power budgets on satellites, UAVs, and remote platforms.
Surface-driven flow is unaffected by vibration, g-forces, or orientation changes — performing identically in any attitude.
Capillary-driven flow operates in vacuum and zero-gravity environments where conventional pumps cannot function reliably.
