First Tellurium and PyroDelta Clarify Third-Party Testing on Thermoelectric Modules for Drone Combustion Engines

Executive Summary

• First Tellurium Corp. clarified that third‑party testing of its thermoelectric modules for high‑payload drones was performed by an established U.S. drone manufacturer, not in‑house.
• The tests simulated high‑altitude vacuum conditions and harsh desert environments, confirming the modules’ resilience and ability to charge drone batteries via exhaust heat differentials.
• Company leadership expressed confidence in the results and noted strong interest from external parties following the initial September 18, 2025 announcement.

Key Details

• The thermoelectric modules attach to drone engine exhaust manifolds and convert heat differentials into electrical energy for onboard electronics.
• Testing was conducted by an unnamed but “long‑established” U.S. drone manufacturer in vacuum chambers (high‑altitude simulation) and with heat/sand exposure (desert conditions).
• PyroDelta provided input and guidance, but the verification and execution of tests were solely performed by the third‑party manufacturer.
• CEO Tyrone Docherty confirmed receipt of numerous inquiries regarding test conduct and emphasized that the results validate module resilience and effectiveness.
• Head Engineer Michael Abdelmaseh (PyroDelta) affirmed the credibility of the testing entity and expressed satisfaction with outcomes.
• An explainer video detailing the new modules is available via a provided link.
