Third-party testing demonstrates extended self-sustaining operation under controlled laboratory conditions

Overview of the Validation

In early October, physicist Jean-Paul Biberian conducted an independent validation of an updated EnergiCell® unit, confirming extended self-sustaining operation compared with earlier trials. The visit aimed to revisit prior observations and verify consistent behaviour under controlled laboratory conditions.

The EnergiCell system consists of a primary circuit and a secondary circuit, linked through a discharge tube containing the electrodes. A brief high-voltage starting pulse initiates the system, which then operates independently of any external electrical input. The test demonstrates that the system can sustain itself under controlled conditions for an extended period (redacted for confidentiality).

Key Observations

During the validation, Biberian observed several important operational behaviours:

With the feedback loop engaged, oscillations persisted for a significantly longer duration than previous tests, and the updated configuration showed more stable behaviour than earlier versions, allowing the system’s response to the feedback loop to be evaluated more clearly.
A brief spark at the end of the run regenerated plasmoids on the electrode surfaces, restoring stable oscillatory behaviour, described as “relighting a gas oven when the flame goes out.”
The device operated in ambient air without additional hydrogen feedstock. Hydrogen from ambient moisture, together with plasmoid formation on the electrodes, likely contributes to sustaining the process.
When the connection between the primary and secondary circuits was removed, oscillations collapsed rapidly, confirming that residual energy in the primary circuit was not responsible for the observed behaviour.
Pressure was identified as a critical parameter; maintaining it within a narrow range is necessary for sustained oscillations, and adjustments can restart the system without further electrical input.

Interpretation and Significance

Biberian concluded that the principle of operation has been demonstrated. The system showed clear evidence of self-sustaining behaviour under controlled laboratory conditions. However, the device remains at a research stage. Several variables—including pressure stability, gas composition and electrode materials—require further optimisation.

The report suggests that with adequate funding and a dedicated engineering team, a commercial-grade prototype could be achievable within two to three years. Independent validation reinforces ENG8’s confidence in the development trajectory and provides a foundation for further research and engineering.

Implications for ENG8’s Development Path

This independent validation provides key insights for ongoing development:

Confirms self-sustaining operation under feedback conditions.
Identifies engineering targets for the next stage, including pressure control and electrode optimisation.
Supports ENG8’s projected development trajectory.

Further testing and optimisation will continue to guide the system toward a reliable, repeatable and scalable energy source.

Next Steps

ENG8 will focus on the following areas to advance the EnergiCell platform:

Improving pressure stability and control.
Optimising electrode materials.
Developing robust restart protocols.
Increasing system reliability and repeatability.

Independent validation remains central to ENG8’s approach. Third-party assessments ensure rigour and provide a clear pathway from laboratory demonstrations to deployable energy systems.
