Impulse Labs

“All of those use cases where spacecraft are moving dynamically around in new ways in the space environment. They basically just don't have a solution for how to connect and control that spacecraft.”

“So we're putting 10,000 watts of power into a, like, medium-sized pan. Or pot. And, ah, we can boil about a liter of cold water in about 40 seconds.”

“We're, like, 30 people total.”

“So basically we put a three kilowatt hour LFP battery, lithium iron phosphate inside home appliances, starting with stoves that gives us an additional 15,000 Watts of additional power. So that's like double what a typical induction cooktop has in terms of aggr…”

“So we've got multiple deals with multiple major appliance manufacturers, some of which have announced some of which have not announced and we'll be shipping globally this year through a number of partners.”

“We had to build, like, many, many, many units, like, 200 plus units to get, before we even shipped one to a customer, and put them through a battery of tests to make sure they were reliable, safe, et cetera.”

“Typically the length of time it takes to build a complex hardware device, I think it's like, it's two years if you don't have to really invent, like, new modules and systems. It's probably three if you know, if you do.”

“If you slam a battery into it, you're now not, you, you've decoupled the energy input from the wall with the device's power outputs. You can decouple the user experience from the grid. And that level of, like, approach has not been done in kind of the major ho…”

“We're working on what like tabletop devices we're going to ship, you know, in the near future. I think if you're interested in that or like a two burner, like we're definitely thinking of you guys. And I think that that's something that we're going to try to h…”

“So that's, like, three times what most induction stoves are, and, like, it's, like, five times what they are when they're not in that, like, boost mode in a bunch of cases, which is often time restricted, because they don't have the temperature sensor to know …”

“We, we've done, like, over 10 OTA updates so far for customers.”

“So, you didn't notice it before, but basically, it, it's significant, it takes about 40 seconds to get a pan up to temperature. On the public release, right now, it's about a minute 50.”

“You can buy, if you buy a direct consumer, we're shipping now, people have had them for like a year, impulselabs.com, but we're also launching nationwide in Zephyr, in showrooms that have Zephyr products and we'll be in a couple hundred showrooms, basically by…”

“Yeah, they have this other app called Impulse that's done, like, seventy million downloads, and it's a brain training app, and the framing of that is basically Keep your brain sharp with these little, like, mini, mini mind games.”

“They're not gonna be able to in-source all of that, and then there's also just gonna be the dividend of, you know, manufacturing and hard tech outside of defense. I mean, I think we talked about the impulse stove. It's like a hardware company. It's never going…”

“We've built the world's best stove. And it's three times more powerful per like heating element and more precise than any other stove. And we enable that by embedding a lithium iron phosphate battery into the stove itself.”

“Once we sell these to a bunch of people, we've then basically backdoored ourselves as like the key storage power broker on the electric grid, because we'll have batteries in everyone's house.”

“If you're a new entrance to the space, you wouldn't necessarily be able to compete with the incumbents or someone who like knows what they're doing around the kitchen. You wouldn't be able to compete with the incumbents because like you weren't actually better…”

“The initial playbook and thinking around this was very clearly build the most awesome appliances and you Trojan horse batteries into everyone's home.”

“The average us house uses something like 20 or 30 kilowatt hour, all electric house is about 20 to 30 kilowatt hours of energy a day. My understanding of if you go look at the energy star standards for induction stoves, An induction stove on average uses like …”

“In our case, we can do that in about a minute because we can push order of magnitude Four to five times more power into the pan than pretty much any other stuff. Because the battery is right there able to give us DC power straight to the coils.”

“If you make it like lower than 24 kilohertz you'd hear it or like your pets might hear it or. Your kids might hear it or something, like something like that. So you have to put it just outside the human hearing range, but low enough that it's still efficient.”

“Typical stoves use, like, 60 amps or something like that. We can run on as little as, like, at 240 volts. We can run on as little as a 120 volt outlet. So you can just plug this thing in with, like, your normal, like, AC power cable and get the same stove perf…”

“Because this thing has a battery and because that battery is Three kilowatt hours. We get a. 30% tax credit on the product.”

“The entire existence of nonstick pans is driven by the fact that people, like, basically stoves have, like, incomprehensible zero through 10 settings versus an exact temperature.”

“We are we're shipping the product end of this year.”

“If you have like three or four appliances per home, you've now deployed about a power wall per house. And so once you have a pop, like once you, which is like, let's say, 12 kilowatt hours or something like that, that is like half the energy use of a typical A…”

“Everything will have a battery because batteries would be basically cheap or free effectively. If everything has a battery and you can, they can choose when to charge. And I'm sure you've seen like the iPhone pop up where it's like your iPhone can choose when …”

“If you distributed like over 10 kilowatt hours per home in the U S like. You can ride out pretty major like outages. And the big story with like a heat wave is heat waves are really bad for the grid because essentially everyone's turning their AC on full blast…”

“Moving the control sensing and like energy storage out to the edges means that any sort of centralized disaster doesn't do as much damage, right? And so there's like, there's a second, like awesome characteristics about this where basically we've taken like a …”

“The raw battery cells that go into our product, I think order magnitude or 300 bucks now.”
