Emergency Power is NO LONGER A LUXUARY… IT IS A NECESSITY!
EPOD Is The New Shape of EMERGENCY POWER
When You Need it … Where You Need It
EPOD: A Unique Power Generation System
EPOD (Emergency Power On Demand) is unlike any other Emergency Power Generator in the World.
EPOD IS designed for SURVIVAL in POWER EMERGENCIES.
EPOD is designed to SAVE LIVEs AND PROVIDE THE SIMPLE COMFORTS OF LIFE
in a POWER EMERGENCY.
See the 16 features (shown below) revealing the EPOD’s most basic and important attributes.
POWER ON DEMAND
EPOD generates “Power-On-Demand” which means it only delivers the electric power that is required by what is plugged into its control panel. EPOD does NOT WASTE POWER like continuously running Gas/Diesel generators. Based upon the electrical loads placed on the EPOD, it can stretch the time that its fuel can last. A Critical Capability in Power Emergencies with an unknown time frame.
NO FOSSIL FUELS
EPOD is an Eco-Friendly Power Generation System that Does NOT Use Gas, Diesel or Other Conventional Fuels. EPOD uses economical & safely stored Solid Power Modules (SPM) which are activated under computer control to generate power as needed by its Internal Generator System. SPM's can be stored for 5+ years without losing their power.
USE EPOD INDOORS
EPOD is the World’s 1st Generator that can be used Indoors without danger, with Little or No Ventilation. EPOD Is Not Just a Battery with a solar panel masquerading as a Generator. EPOD uses its unique SPM fuel to internally Generate its own power. The use of SPM produces minimal exhaust output.
MINOR EXHAUST
When operating, EPOD’s power generation system has a minor exhaust that is scrubbed of particulates and has a low db sound output. EPOD activates, at most, once per Minute (sometimes, depending on use of power, not at all for hours) so the exhaust is always minimal, non-toxic and intermittent.
INTELLIGENT BATTERY SYSTEM (IBS)
The IBS is composed of Hundreds of small Batteries that are held in an Interactive Matrix which allows any number of the individual batteries to be tasked, in series or parallel, to address specific power loads plugged into to the EPOD.
RECHARGES ITSELF
EPOD’s Computer System, via the use of internal power maintenance algorithms, automatically senses the need to Recharge the IBS. The Computer activates the SPM Impulse Drive system and spins up the Flywheel and Generator to produce electric power that recharges the IBS. This is a key function of the EPOD that automatically maintains IBS power levels.
FLYWHEEL SYSTEM
EPOD’s SPM (Solid Power Module) energy release system uses a unique “Impulse Drive” to intermittently (as needed and directed by the on-board computer) spins up the Flywheel which captures the SPM’s Kinetic Energy output and transmits it to the attached high efficiency Generator.
INTERNAL COMPUTER SYSTEM
EPOD has an Algorithm Driven Logic (ADL) System which, moment-to-moment, reviews ALL EPOD activities, resources and energy loads so as to optimize all generation, storage and power output functions.
5 POINT AREA LIGHTING SYSTEM
Individually controllable built-in Surround area lighting includes 1 rear and 2 side pointing rotatable Hi-intensity LED light bars plus 2 front facing LED adjustable focus lights. If needed, the rear light bar can be rotated to a position where it can illuminate the EPOD interior components.
2 REMOVABLE FLASHLIGHTS
The 2-front facing LED adjustable focus Lights double as rechargeable and removable Flashlights that can be individually removed From the EPOD body.
POWERING APPLIANCES
The Intelligent Battery System (IBS) includes 6 Hi-Caps (High Capacity Capacitors) each with a massive electric power “punch” capable of “kick-starting” hi-wattage compressors in appliances such as Refrigerators, which then require much lower power to sustain their daily operation.
HBK
Human Body Kinetics (HBK) is the use of physical Effort (Arm pressure pushing levers forward) to spin up the internal Flywheel and Generator. This Secondary Power production system is a back-up to the main SPM system. HBK effort will produce a low level of electric power without using the SPMs. EPOD has 2 side “ArmBars” (extendable levers), that can used, even by a by a child, to produce electric power in an emergency
HARDPOINT MOBILITY OPTIONS
EPOD comes standard with 10 “Hardpoints” (2 front, 2 back and 3 on each side) that facilitate mobility options and can be used as tie downs points. Each EPOD Comes with a set of Backpack Straps (stored in a bottom compartment of the EPOD) which can connect to 6 of the Hardpoints and allow the EPOD to be carried in a Backpack mode.
INTEGRAL WHEELED MOBILITY
EPOD comes standard with a set of extendable/retractable Wheels and an Extendable Handle (which also doubles as the HBK Standing Base). The EPOD can be carried or rolled to any location just like a piece of “carry-on’ luggage.
EMP PPROTECTION
A natural (Sun generated) or Man-Made (weapon) EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) can destroy every electronic device within its range. This includes most Generators. EPOD has integral “Faraday Cage” technology that protects all of EPOD’s internal electronics from harm during any EMP event.
INTEGRAL INTERNET HUB
When power goes out, usually, so does your Internet Connection. EPOD comes with an integral internally powered Internet Hub that can connect up to 10 phones, laptops and other web connectable appliances.

About EPOD
- VirginTricity International llc, has developed a new concept in power generation technology called EPOD (an acronym for Emergency Power On Demand).
- EPOD’s a man-portable energy generator for Power Emergencies such as aging Electric Grid failures, Climate Change weather disasters, Wild Fires, Hurricanes, Blizzards, Tornados, Earthquakes and other Natural Disasters, as well as Man-made problems such as Terrorism and Cyber-Terrorism events.
- EPOD operates without fossil fuels and is a renewable, rechargeable, alternate-fuel based distributed power system.
- EPOD generates “Power on Demand”, meaning it only operates when needed and doesn’t waste fuel or stored energy.
- Each reloadable and replaceable SPM can supply 2 to 12 hours (or more) of electric power depending on the loads placed on the EPOD.
- EPOD‘s HBK (Human Body Kinetics) system is an integral, secondary back-up, low-power generation capability that is designed to even allow a child to produce electric power in an emergency .
- EPOD is housed in a rugged, water-tight, impact resistant housing designed for easy transportation via build-in wheels. 10 Integral Hardpoints make the EPOD backpack capable (with included harness), as well as attachable to a parachute, a flotation collar or to ropes for tie-down or lowering/lifting the EPOD to hard to reach locations.
- EPOD is the world’s 1st generator that can be used Indoors with little or no ventilation.
- EPOD is NOT a Battery masquerading as a generator. EPOD has an internal power generation system that can generate 2000+ watts and can use that power directly or be used to recharge its own internal battery system.
- EPOD will be produced in 4 Models: Consumer, Industrial, 1st Responder and Military versions. EPOD can be custom configured at the factory for specialized connector ports and additional functionality for industry, 1st Responders and Military special requests.

EPOD: It’s All In The Details!
EPOD is Unlike Any Other Generator In The World!
Hello, I’m Robert Gold, Inventor of the EPOD. It took me 5 years (2018 - 2022) to design the EPOD’s unique power generation and distribution system from the “ground up” as a piece of emergency equipment that has applications in every type of natural and man-made disaster. Having lived through two NYC blackouts in the 60’s and 70’s, I know 1st hand what being trapped in a high-rise concrete box (i.e. Apt) without power, lights, heat and communications can be like. Having spent a considerable portion of my adult career working around 1st Responders and the Military, as well as having lived in several areas of the US, and overseas, I have seen what hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, blizzards, wild fires, terrorism and forced human migration – among the spectrum of man-made and natural disasters – can do to people who are unprepared for life without the simple comforts that electrical power can afford. Ask anyone who has ever lived in a city that has had rolling blackouts, power rationing or a major natural/weather disaster (which are becoming more frequent every year due to climate change). No lights, no way to recharge phones, no power for keeping a family warm, no power to save your refrigerated food, no internet connection… It becomes a moment-to-moment challenge to survive.
EPOD was created with many simple built-in features that create a comfortable “survival bubble” in even the worst of circumstances. These features include, but are not limited to, [1] power for all types of uses with multiple integral connectors and a wide range of selectable power outputs; [2] an integral 5-point area lighting system with two removable flashlights; [3] an internally mounted battery charging system (AAA-AA-C-D & Transistor type); [4] an integral Internet connection hub for up to 10 people; and [5] an integral Faraday Cage EMP Protection System for all EPOD system electronics – all standard with the EPOD. But additionally, and very importantly, is EPOD’s ability to create “Power On-Demand” (i.e. No Wasted Power like Fossil Fuel Generators). EPOD is the world's 1st generator that can be used indoors or outdoors, in a non-toxic, eco-friendly (i.e.: Minimal Carbon Footprint) and cost effective manner. EPOD can optimize fuel and stretch electric power for times when a power emergency may last for an unknown length of time. Please review our website to understand the many details and features that make the EPOD the future of emergency power.
