Current defrost systems rely on bulk heating, chemicals, or mechanical removal, causing
slower response and unnecessary heating of
the entire structure.
Too slow
Wastes energy
Heats entire structure
Betterfrost uses pulsed power control to detect frost, target the interfacial layer, and clear surfaces without heating the full structure. The result is up to 90% faster clearing with up to 90% less energy.
SENSE
Detect frost, ice, snow, and fog formation early and accurately.
TARGET
Focus heat at the interface, within 0.1mm of the surface.
CLEAR
Clear surfaces up to 10x faster, using up to 90% less energy.
WHY PULSED POWER CONTROL IS DIFFERENT
Interfacial layer heating
Pulsed power releases ice from the surface without melting the full mass, because energy is delivered where the bond actually exists.
Heat stays at the surface
Pulsing keeps heat concentrated at the interface instead of letting it escape into the environment, enabling ultra-low energy heating.
Built for critical surfaces
Works across conductive materials and components including low-e coated glass, conductive films, intake screens, heat exchangers, aircraft surfaces, and wind turbine rotors.
LAYER OF ICE
↓ ~0.1 mm Interfacial Bond Zone
SURFACE
Betterfrost brings targeted thermal protection to infrastructure where systems efficiency,
safety, and performance matter most.
Retain up to 38 km of range in sub-zero conditions. Windshield defrost in 1 minute.
Betterfrost began with a simple question: why flood a surface with heat when you only need to break the bond? Today, we build technologies that rethink surface protection with faster clearing and far less energy.
