First Tellurium Corp. (CSE:FTEL) has released new performance data on its thermoelectric radiator-generator system, developed by its majority-owned subsidiary PyroDelta Energy Inc., following successful road testing in April.
The device, which replaces both the alternator and radiator in combustion engine vehicles, demonstrated strong potential for improving fuel efficiency by converting waste heat into electricity—without the use of moving parts.
Efficient, Lightweight, and Tested
Over 1,300 kilometers (800 miles) of road testing confirmed that the unit can reliably cool engines while generating enough power to support all onboard electronics and recharge vehicle batteries. In addition, the system reduces vehicle weight, offering a flexible solution for both new models and retrofits.
“This technology is built to perform under real-world extremes,” said Tyrone Docherty, CEO of First Tellurium. “We’ve received many questions about its reliability in extreme temperatures, and the results are very encouraging.”
Thrives in Hot and Cold Conditions
According to PyroDelta’s head engineer, Michael Abdelmaseh, the greater the temperature difference between the ambient air and engine heat, the more electricity the system can generate. “Even in hot climates like Death Valley, there’s still a large enough differential,” he said. “In cold climates, such as Canadian winters, that difference can exceed 90°C—easily producing over 400 watts of power.”
Potential Use in Electric Vehicles
Docherty also pointed to the device’s applicability in electric vehicles (EVs), where cold weather often impacts efficiency. By capturing waste heat from EV batteries, the thermoelectric system could help stabilize performance during colder months.
With major automakers, including Honda, delaying large-scale EV projects, Docherty believes technologies that enhance combustion engine efficiency remain critical. “PyroDelta’s breakthrough can provide immediate fuel savings while supporting the longer-term shift to electric mobility,” he said.
Positioned for Impact
First Tellurium continues to position itself at the intersection of clean energy and resource development. The company focuses on generating revenue through mineral exploration, project generation, and strategic partnerships.
Shares of First Tellurium (CSE:FTEL) last traded at $0.13, reflecting a 23.81% increase over the past year.
