Research & Development

There are problems in the world and we want to help.

This is why Sixpenny re-invests a significant portion of our profits to maintain two full-time employees in an R&D capacity. Active since 2020, our R&D department’s efforts are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovation. We focus on developing advanced technologies that address critical global challenges.

Current Areas of Interest

  • As semifinalists in the CSA Aqualunar Challenge, we are developing the Lunarwell, an innovative water purification system designed for the unique conditions of the lunar south pole. This project aims to support lunar missions and has potential applications for water purification on Earth, particularly in remote and arid regions.

  • Our team is exploring new methods for efficient energy production and storage. By focusing on renewable energy sources and advanced storage solutions, we aim to contribute to a more sustainable future.

  • We are developing proposals and technologies to address the impacts of climate change. Our goal is to create scalable solutions that help reduce carbon footprints and promote environmental stewardship.

  • We are working on advanced purification systems to ensure access to clean water. These systems are designed to be highly efficient and sustainable, suitable for use in diverse environments.

  • We are investigating new techniques and technologies to enhance food production. By improving agricultural efficiency and sustainability, we aim to support the growing global population.

  • We are continually ideating improvements to existing industrial processes to enhance efficiency and achieve desired outcomes. By optimizing workflows, reducing waste, and integrating advanced technologies, we strive to make industrial operations more sustainable and cost-effective.

  • Our R&D team is exploring advanced waste management technologies such as biodigesters and plasma gasification. These methods aim to transform waste into valuable resources, reduce landfill usage, and minimize environmental impact.

  • Recognizing the growing threat of wildfires, we are participants in the Xprize Wildfire competition. This project focuses on novel forms of response to give firefighting services new tools. This includes developing advanced technologies for early detection, improving firefighting techniques, and designing structures and materials that are more resistant to fire.

  • We are also developing new technologies for the fabrication of infrastructure in space. This involves creating advanced materials and construction methods that can be utilized in the harsh conditions of outer space, supporting future space exploration and habitation efforts.
