How Orbis Electric’s Innovations Address Global Challenges
Orbis Electric is tackling some of the most urgent challenges of the 21st century — climate change, water scarcity, resource dependency, and the soaring energy demands of an electrified, AI-powered economy — by reimagining the fundamental architecture of electric machines. Our innovations address these societal issues not with incremental improvements, but with transformative, physics-based solutions that eliminate systemic inefficiencies across mobility, logistics, and digital infrastructure.
Decarbonizing Transportation and Logistics
Transportation and logistics are among the largest sources of global greenhouse gas emissions. Electrification is essential to achieving climate goals—but most EV systems still depend on costly, resource-intensive materials that slow adoption.
Orbis Electric is changing that. Our rare-earth-free motor-generator-pump platform unites propulsion, power generation, and thermal circulation in a single, sustainable design. By replacing rare-earth magnets with abundant ferrite materials, we eliminate a major source of carbon-heavy mining and supply-chain risk—without sacrificing performance.
The result is a new generation of electric powertrains that use fewer components, cost less to build, and deliver the torque and efficiency needed to accelerate the global shift to zero-emission mobility
Reducing Energy Demand and Water Use in the AI Era
As AI and cloud computing expand, data centers have become one of the fastest-growing sources of energy and water consumption—now responsible for more than 3% of global electricity use. Cooling these massive facilities can consume hundreds of millions of gallons of water every year, straining both grids and ecosystems.
Orbis tackles this challenge with the HaloDrive™ Cooling Engine, which brings the same energy-efficient physics used in our motors to thermal management. By replacing centralized chillers and cooling towers with distributed, oil-cooled impeller modules, HaloDrive reduces cooling energy use by up to 70% and saves more than 150 million gallons of water per 20 MW facility each year—the equivalent of refilling two Olympic-sized pools every week.
We’re proving that the AI revolution doesn’t have to come at the planet’s expense.
Strengthening Resource Security and Supply-Chain Resilience
Global electrification depends not just on innovation, but on access to materials. Today, more than 90% of rare-earth magnet production is concentrated in a single region, creating geopolitical and supply-chain vulnerabilities for industries worldwide.
Orbis Electric takes a different path. By engineering a high-performance motor that requires no rare-earth elements, we reduce exposure to volatile supply chains and the environmental toll of rare-earth mining. Our approach supports domestic manufacturing, strengthens industrial resilience, and enables large-scale electrification without compromise.
In short: a cleaner, more secure foundation for the world’s energy future.
