AURA Engineering Platform

Build aerostatic bearing rotor systems faster — with early guardrails.

AURA is a decision‑ready engineering workflow for gas‑static (aerostatic) rotors. It helps teams reduce late CAE surprises and shorten iteration cycles by standardizing the early phase.

Requirements → Layout → Bearing sizing → Rotordynamics screening → Validation → Manufacturing pack.

Recruiting 2–3 pilot partners (January 2026). Expect a reply within 24 hours.

Urgency
We are selecting 3 pilot partners to validate ROI on real architectures and lock the first reference cases.

ICP (broad but clear)

R&D and design teams building high‑speed rotors with gas‑static bearings: spindles, compressors, microturbines, cryogenic machinery.

Business value

  • Shorter design cycle: fewer disconnected spreadsheets and manual handoffs
  • De‑risk decisions: feasibility flags before you commit to heavy CAE or manufacturing
  • Review‑ready outputs: a traceable package you can share internally

Social proof (founder credibility)

Built from long‑term research & engineering practice in gas‑static bearings (patents + academic work) and designed to align with established CAE workflows.

Product

AURA produces decisions and traceable packages — not isolated calculations.

1) Requirements intake

Targets, constraints, RPM range, envelopes, and failure modes captured once.

2) Layout + guardrails

Architecture selection with sanity checks (support span, loads, constraints).

3) Sizing + stability

Bearing capacity/stiffness/flow + rotordynamics screening to catch risk early.

Illustrative visualization for pressure field + geometry context.

Full value cycle

  • Requirements → decision gates (what passes / what fails and why)
  • Validation handoff (Adams / SolidWorks comparison path)
  • Manufacturing pack (export‑ready reports & drawings as the roadmap)

What teams get on day one

  • Decision summary: feasibility flags, constraints, assumptions
  • Engineering outputs: sizing tables + stability diagnostics
  • Traceability: report‑grade package for internal review

Market opportunity

High‑speed rotating machinery is growing across advanced manufacturing, energy, aerospace, and cryogenics. Gas‑static bearings enable non‑contact, high‑speed architectures — but the engineering workflow is still fragmented.

Where demand comes from

  • Precision spindles and advanced manufacturing
  • Compressors and turbomachinery (incl. hydrogen)
  • Cryogenic expanders and scientific equipment

Why now

  • Higher RPM and tighter tolerances
  • Pressure to shorten design cycles
  • Need for traceability and engineering QA

Buyer profile

  • R&D teams and engineering managers
  • OEMs and specialized integrators
  • Universities and research labs (early adopter channel)

Pilot, business model, and acquisition

We start with a paid pilot (2–4 weeks) to validate ROI on your real rotor architecture. Then we transition to subscription for ongoing design iterations, templates, and internal reuse.

Paid Pilot (services + software)

  • Kickoff: constraints, RPM range, performance targets
  • Rapid iterations inside the AURA workflow
  • Decision‑ready report + recommendations
  • Optional validation loop (Adams / SolidWorks path)

Pilot success criteria

  • Clear feasibility gate (pass/fail + what to change)
  • Repeatable input template for the next project
  • Internal review pack ready for engineering leadership

Subscription (software)

  • Team access to workflows and templates
  • Reusable design packages across projects
  • Roadmap: more bearing types + deeper dynamic KPIs
  • Export‑ready packages (procurement, manufacturing)

Go‑to‑market (traffic)

  • Wedge: universities & research labs → credibility and early users
  • Direct: outreach to OEMs / integrators (spindles, compressors, cryogenics)
  • Content: calculators + technical guides → inbound intent
  • Partners: air‑bearing vendors, CAE consultants, test labs

Use the pilot intake form — it’s the fastest way to get a reply (within 24 hours).

Moat (competitive advantage)

The advantage is not a calculator. It is a coupled workflow + domain model + automation that scales.

Coupled workflow

Layout, sizing, and stability screening in one pipeline — fewer handoffs, fewer mismatched assumptions.

Automation (AI-ready)

Guardrails, consistency checks, and report generation reduce human error and make knowledge reusable.

Trust via validation

Comparison path to established toolchains (Adams / SolidWorks) improves adoption and confidence.

High barrier to copy

  • Coupled pipeline + decision gates (process moat)
  • Constraint logic + heuristics (engineering moat)
  • Validation baselines + datasets (trust moat)
  • Templates + reports that lock workflows in teams (switching cost)

Scales beyond one application

  • Same workflow fits spindles, compressors, microturbines, cryogenic machines
  • Roadmap: more bearing families, deeper dynamics, manufacturing pack
  • Long term: standards-aligned decision packages and QA

FAQ (for investors and partners)

What problem does AURA solve?
Early-stage aerostatic rotor design is fragmented: spreadsheets, separate tools, and inconsistent assumptions. AURA standardizes the workflow and produces a traceable decision package — faster cycles and lower risk.
Are the numbers real (10× / 95% / $200K)?
These are pilot targets and ROI framing used in accelerator review. The paid pilot is where we validate the actual improvements on your architecture and document the reference case.
Who pays and why?
Engineering teams pay to shorten iteration cycles, reduce late-stage CAE surprises, and improve internal review quality. Entry is a paid pilot, followed by subscription for repeat projects and team access.
Why is this hard to copy?
The moat is workflow coupling + domain constraints + validation baselines. It is not one formula; it is an engineered system with guardrails, automation, and trust.
Is the market limited to spindles?
No. AURA targets high-speed rotors with aerostatic bearings across spindles, compressors, microturbines, and cryogenic machinery.
What is the next milestone?
1–3 paid pilots with real architectures, a repeatable report template, and a documented validation loop (Adams / SolidWorks comparisons).
