The unique combination of attributes offered by Mainspring’s Linear Generator enables a broad range of applications on both the customer and utility sides of the meter. When connected to the existing, underground natural gas grid, Mainspring’s products provide highly reliable, low-carbon electricity at lower cost than the electric grid. The ability to seamlessly switch between gaseous fuels, including renewable biogas and hydrogen, provides increased resiliency and additional carbon savings. High efficiency and full dispatchability — load-tracking, fast off/on, black start, and island capable — offers the most cost-effective solution for both firming renewable generation and ensuring 24/7 clean power.
Acorn Product Development worked closely with Mainspring Energy to provide industrial design and mechanical engineering solutions for the generator’s enclosure. The design combines iconic and confident visual appearance with competent and efficient engineering thoughtfulness.
“Mainspring is grateful to the talented design team at Acorn/Elemental8 for creating a face to the world for our Mainspring Linear Generator, the first in a groundbreaking new category of onsite power generation for the net-zero carbon grid of the future. We couldn’t be more proud of the product's design and the way that it incorporates a number of essential requirements and benefits for Mainspring and our customers.”
