Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- On July 22, 2026, GigaOne set a weekly production record, lifting output 76%.
- Trinity Capital committed up to $35 million on April 30, 2026 for expansion.
- Torus won a 2025 R&D 100 Award and TIME Best Invention 2024.
What critics are saying
- Torus still depends on capital markets; the $200 million Magnetar round and $35 million debt fund factories.
- PacifiCorp concentration creates customer risk if the 500 MW program slips after 2026.
- If GigaOne misses ramp targets, Torus becomes a capital-intensive hardware assembler without software margins.
What makes Torus unique
- Torus combines flywheels and LFP batteries, delivering millisecond response and longer-duration storage.
- GigaOne's 545,000-square-foot Salt Lake City plant manufactures nearly the full system in-house.
- PacifiCorp expanded Torus' demand-response MOU from 70 MW to 500 MW in 2025.

The energy dependence of modern data centers, caused by the increase in the power of graphics processors, requires new approaches to energy storage. The American startup Torus presented Nova Spin - a modular storage system based on flywheels, which offers an effective alternative to classic lithium-ion batteries. Mechanics instead of chemistry: the principle of operation. The system is based on the use of a heavy steel rotor rotating inside a hermetic vacuum chamber on magnetic bearings. During periods of excess electricity in the network, acceleration of the "spindle" occurs, which converts the current into kinetic energy. In the event of power surges or shortages, the flywheel slows down, releasing reserve via an integrated generator within a fraction of a second. Unlike batteries, this technology is resistant to deep discharges and capacity degradation. According to the developer, the life cycle of the system reaches 25 years without a decrease in productivity, which is 2.5-3.5 times longer than that of industrial lithium arrays, which need to be replaced after 7-10 years. Productivity at the level of 800 V. The choice of the operating voltage of 800 V DC is dictated by the requirements of modern risers for AI servers. This configuration eliminates unnecessary energy conversion steps, reducing efficiency losses. Nova Spin is capable of delivering 20 times more instantaneous power than chemical counterparts of a similar size. Key features and applications. A complete system charge and discharge cycle takes only 12 minutes, making Nova Spin an indispensable buffer for short-term network fluctuations. The main advantages of the solution: * Durability: up to 25 years of operation without degradation of characteristics. * Environmentally friendly: complete absence of toxic electrolytes and rare earth metals. * Stabilization: smoothing consumption peaks for data centers and objects with unstable generation (sun, wind). While Torus' focus is on sustainably powering infrastructure for AI computing, the technology has potential applications for mainline power grids, helping to balance the nation's power grid.
