OXHY launches its equity crowdfunding campaign on CrowdFundMe

How can we recover at least some of the heat lost to the environment to improve the world we live in?

OXHY was born from this question. And also from the desire to transform invisible energy into a tangible resource capable of making everyday electronic devices more self-sufficient and sustainable.

In recent months, this journey has gradually moved beyond the laboratory. We have developed the first prototypes, consolidated our patent portfolio, and launched the first validation activities, thanks in part to our collaboration with scientific and industrial partners. At the same time, we have built a multidisciplinary team that integrates expertise in physics, materials chemistry, engineering, and industrial development.

Today, this journey enters a new phase.

OXHY’s equity crowdfunding campaign is officially live on CrowdFundMe, one of Italy’s leading platforms dedicated to investing in innovation.

At the heart of the project is Oxhycell, a technology designed to convert heat and infrared radiation into continuous electrical energy by exploiting the physical properties of water under controlled conditions.

This is an unconventional energy harvesting approach, which fits into the context of ultra-low-power applications, where even continuous energy flows in the order of microwatts can help improve system autonomy, scalability, and sustainability.

In particular, the focus of application is on:

  • distributed IoT networks
  • industrial sensors
  • autonomous devices
  • contexts where battery
  • management represents an operational constraint

Why Crowdfunding

For OXHY, crowdfunding is not just a fundraising tool, but a step that is consistent with the very nature of the project.

Developing cutting-edge technology also means fostering understanding, discussion, and participation around complex issues, which require time, rigor, and dialogue.

The campaign therefore has a dual objective:

  • to support the next phases of technological and industrial development
  • to open the project to a broader community of people interested in energy, research, and emerging technologies

OXHY is currently in a pre-market phase, where research, engineering, and applications are beginning to converge in increasingly concrete ways. The next steps will involve technological scaling, integration into real-world systems, and the development of the first pilot projects: milestones that could significantly shape the project’s evolution. In this context, the campaign represents an opportunity to gain access to OXHY at an early stage of its journey, before the subsequent phases of technological and market maturation.

When water is no longer just H₂O

A documentary film on Amazon Prime Video

Water is the most abundant substance on Earth—and, at the same time, one of the least fully understood.

In addition to its well-known chemical properties, a growing number of scientific studies suggest that water can exhibit complex collective behaviors, interact with external stimuli in non-trivial ways, and respond to electromagnetic fields and infrared radiation under specific conditions. These phenomena are now being investigated at the intersection of physics, biology, and materials science, opening up new perspectives on the role of water not only as a passive medium but as an active component of natural and technological systems.

This emerging scientific scenario is the focus of the documentary “L’acqua e le frequenze della vita” an Arte Video project directed by Marco Fabbro, recently released on Amazon Prime Video and also available on Apple TV. The documentary brings together international researchers from different disciplines to explore the profound connection between water, frequencies, and life, offering a rare interdisciplinary view of a rapidly evolving field of research.

A converging scientific landscape

Rather than proposing a single theory or closed framework, the documentary highlights a convergence of independent lines of research. Physicists, biologists, physicians, and materials scientists—from Europe to Japan—describe experimental observations and theoretical models that seem to point toward common principles.

Among the central references is the work of Emilio Del Giudice, whose contribution to the study of coherent domains in water has provided a conceptual framework for much of the current research. The documentary does not present definitive conclusions, but documents a scientific field in motion, made up of hypotheses, experimental verifications, and continuous dialogue.

It is precisely this plurality of viewpoints that constitutes its strength.

OXHY’s contribution: engineering at the cutting edge of research

Within this broader context, OXHY is featured in the documentary through the participation of Roberto Germano, co-founder and CTO. OXHY’s participation reflects our position at the intersection of cutting-edge research and technological development.

At OXHY, we study how specific water-based materials can interact with environmental infrared radiation, giving rise to measurable electrical effects. This line of research is based on recent advances in condensed matter physics and materials science, and aims to translate experimental phenomena into engineered energy harvesting devices, such as our Oxhycells.

It is important to emphasize that our work is not a point of arrival, but an open path of research and engineering. The documentary captures this aspect well, presenting OXHY as one of the possible technological directions emerging from a broader process of scientific convergence.

From scientific intuition to technological exploration

The transition from fundamental research to technology is never linear or predictable. It requires rigor, experimental validation, continuous iteration—and above all, awareness of the complexity of natural systems.

This is why we consider the documentary not only an opportunity for visibility, but above all for contextualization. Its distribution on Amazon Prime Video signals a growing interest in these issues, but also implies a responsibility to communicate them with clarity and scientific integrity.

OXHY’s mission is to explore how insights from advanced physics and materials science can be transformed, methodically and prudently, into new approaches to sustainable energy generation, without oversimplifying the underlying science or jumping to conclusions.

An open field, not a closed narrative

“L’acqua e le frequenze della vita” helps to provide a vivid picture of a series of lines of inquiry, including OXHY’s activities, showing how fundamental research and technological development can proceed in a complementary manner.

We are delighted to be part of this wider conversation, alongside researchers, institutions, and independent thinkers committed to building a deeper understanding of water, energy, and life itself.

The path is still open—and we are convinced that the most interesting chapters of this story are yet to be written.

Towards a New Era of IoT: ALS Sensors Powered by Infrared Energy

Posted by on | Featured

Introduction

Energy autonomy is one of the most pressing challenges for sensor and IoT applications. Powering sensors without relying on batteries or wired connections can drastically reduce maintenance costs and environmental impact. In this context, Oxhycell emerges as a breakthrough technology, capable of harvesting energy from the environment to sustainably and efficiently power electronic devices.

The first real-world use case we have developed focuses on powering Ambient Light Sensors (ALS) through a fully autonomous system based on Oxhycell. With the support of Campania Startup, we have developed a demonstrator showcasing the potential of our technology in the Energy Harvesting sector for IoT. This milestone marks an important step in our journey toward efficiency and miniaturization.

The Challenge: Wireless Sensors and Energy Supply

ALS sensors are widely used to automatically adjust screen brightness and smart lighting, helping to reduce energy consumption and enhance visual comfort. However, powering these devices presents significant challenges:

  • Batteries have a limited lifespan and require periodic replacement.
  • Wired power solutions are not always practical, especially in remote or distributed installations.
  • Current Energy Harvesting solutions (solar, vibrations, radio frequencies) have limitations in terms of power output, continuity, and compatibility with a variety of environments.

Oxhycell offers an innovative solution to overcome these limitations, ensuring stable and continuous power supply to devices without requiring batteries or cables.

The Demonstrator: An ALS Sensor Powered by Oxhycell

To demonstrate the feasibility of this solution, we have developed a working prototype that utilizes an Oxhy Powercore to power an ALS sensor and transmit the data via Bluetooth.

How Does the System Work?

The demonstrator consists of a few modules:

  • Oxhy Powercore – A wafer of Oxhycell that harvests energy from the environment and stores it in a capacitor.
  • Power Management Unit – Regulates the energy flow and system activation.
  • ALS Module – Includes a microcontroller, light sensor, and a Bluetooth module for data transmission.
  • Mobile Monitoring App – Receives data from the sensor and displays ambient light levels.

Step-by-Step Operation

  1. The Oxhy Powercore collects ambient energy and stores it in a capacitor.
  2. Once a voltage threshold is reached, the system activates the ALS sensor.
  3. The sensor measures the light level and transmits the data via Bluetooth to the mobile app.
  4. After data transmission, the system returns to energy accumulation mode, ready for the next cycle.

This smart energy cycle enables the sensor to function without batteries, ensuring a fully autonomous and long-lasting system.

Below are some images illustrating this innovative technology in action.

A Modular System: Beyond the ALS Sensor

The goal of the demonstrator is not just to validate Energy Harvesting for a single sensor, but to showcase the versatility of Oxhycell across multiple microelectronics applications.

For this reason, the ALS module has been integrated into a modular demonstrator, a set of building blocks for Energy Harvesting, which includes:

  • Lighting Module – Controls LEDs powered by Oxhycell.
  • Audio Module – Generates sounds or acoustic signals.
  • Digital Display & Clock – Shows information and interacts with other modules.
  • ALS Module – The core of the system for ambient light detection.

All these modules can be used independently or interconnected, showcasing Oxhycell’s potential for a wide range of real-world applications.

Current Limitations of the Demonstrator

The current ALS sensor demonstrator powered by Oxhycell is a first concrete step toward autonomous Energy Harvesting systems, but it still has some technical and operational limitations.

  • The power density of the Oxhy Powercore is yet quite low and is designed for intermittent operation, meaning the system charges and discharges a capacitor in cycles. This can introduce a latency in data acquisition and transmission, which needs to be optimized for real-time applications.
  • The current level of miniaturization, approximately 20 mm³ per cell, is still an area of development to enhance power output and reduce activation times.
  • The firmware for power management requires further optimization to maximize energy efficiency, particularly in low-light environments.

The Roadmap to Miniaturization

Oxhy has outlined a development roadmap with a few but clear evolutionary phases:
