Vantasner AG is building a working excess-heat device on one mechanism: a dense shear-thickening suspension, or a sealed dry bed, of metal deuteride particles mixed with piezoelectric powder, driven by ultrasound, impact, electric field, pulsed discharge and programmed heat, so that frictional force chains press piezoelectric grains against hydride grains and the resulting contact charge throws deuterons across nanometer gaps at 0.1 to 1 keV. The program aggregates the published record in eight prior-art clusters, turns their parameters into design inputs, narrows the device matrix with a 24x7 agent-operated simulation queue on Marbell bare-metal, and builds a four-cell villa laboratory with calorimetry and radiation diagnostics on day one. The target is a working device in 12 months. Start with the README table below, then SCIENCE-AND-FOUNDATIONS.md for the physics, PLAN-12-MONTH.md for the build schedule, and OUTLINE.md for the investor narrative.
