Preventing Gas Leakage

Our mission is to eliminate valve gas leaks to atmosphere equivalent to 96.4 million tonnes of CO2 a year and £1.3B in lost product. Our Dragonfly valve eliminates the valve stem, which is the source of these fugitive emissions that also represents a serious safety roadblock to the hydrogen transition.

Remove Leaking Seals

Origami-inspired engineering is a proven method for creating efficient and simplified mechanisms. With this tool we have developed the Dragonfly mechanism, reducing the force required to operate the valve 10x, enabling the leaky valve stem to be replaced with a fully sealed magnetic coupling.

Investing^in a better planet

We are a hyper focused team, working to supply the world with valves that prevent climate damage and keep operations online. To rapidly scale up and deliver our solutions worldwide, we are looking for investors and commercial partners to work with us. If you are looking for an investment opportunity that will make a difference in billion-pound markets or you are a business that can accelerate market deployment of this technology, we want to speak with you.

We are^Actuation Lab

Simon, Tom, and Michael have worked together as researchers for over a decade optimising and simplifying technology for applications spanning manufacturing, renewable energy, and marine sectors. In 2021, they consolidated their intellectual property, raised investment, and spun Actuation Lab out of the University of Bristol, with a revolutionary approach to designing industrial hardware.
