The units do not have to be connected to work together. Each one has a
battery and senses its own room. Over
data alone they take turns, so a
building never spikes the grid. They buy power when it is cheap, use it
when it is dear, and keep a room comfortable when the grid goes down.
That is a federated energy network. No shared pipework. No permission
from the utility.
Connect them properly and it gets better again. Airform cools
Electroform's batteries. Electroform feeds power back. Hyperform uses
both. Every product is a node, and the more you join up the better it
works.
Ten thousand of them is a power plant, built one room at a time.
