NewHydrogen Reveals Plan to Automate Its Engineering Test Unit
Introducing automated controls will shift focus from managing the test setup to analyzing the data and expediting time to market for the Company’s first commercial pilot plant
SANTA CLARITA, CA, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NewHydrogen, Inc. (OTCQB: NEWH), the developer of ThermoLoop™, a breakthrough technology that uses water and heat instead of electricity to produce the world’s cheapest clean hydrogen, today announced plans to automate its ThermoLoop™ engineering test unit (ETU), a move designed to accelerate the Company’s path toward its first commercial pilot plant.
Using results from an ETU is the standard, industry-accepted pathway for designing a commercial pilot plant. The Company’s ETU will serve as the bridge between its bench-scale laboratory experiments and the pilot plant, specifically built to prove the fundamental physics, chemistry, and kinetics of ThermoLoop.
The plan builds on the Company’s recent announcement that it successfully passed Stage Gate One and transitioned from the research phase into the engineering phase of its development program, as well as its strategic collaboration with NuCube Energy to explore nuclear-powered hydrogen production.
NewHydrogen is now focused on building a dedicated ThermoLoop™ ETU, and automating its controls is intended to give the Company’s engineering team continuous, around-the-clock testing capability with greater precision and repeatability from run to run. By reducing the time engineers spend manually managing the test setup, automation is expected to let the team focus more on analyzing results, shortening the time required to generate the data needed to determine commercial pilot plant specifications.
Steve Hill, CEO of NewHydrogen, said:
Manual testing demands constant attention from our engineers just to keep a run on track.
”Automating that work frees them to spend more of their time interpreting the data and refining the engineering decisions that get us to a pilot plant,”
