$1 Million Allocation Offers 500,000 NVIDIA H200 GPU Hours at $2 Per Hour With No Expiration and Lifetime Lowest-Cost Match in North America
CALGARY, AB, September 17, 2026
Infinidium Power Corp. today announced its Founding Customer Program, offering enterprises, AI developers, cloud compute users and service providers early access to its proprietary Vortex Vacuum Chamber [VVC] AI infrastructure.
The program offers $1 million of NVIDIA H200 capacity at $2 per GPU hour, representing 500,000 GPU hours with no expiration. Founding customers receive priority access to the initial 16-GPU deployment, preferred future capacity and a lifetime lowest-cost match in North America for comparable, verifiable H200 enterprise pricing, subject to definitive agreements.
Free cooling is the breakthrough. Net-positive energy and heat recovery in one envelope is the destination.
The VVC is designed to address four major constraints confronting AI infrastructure: cooling, power demand, capital cost and deployment time.
VVC Removes the Cooling Cost Layer
VVC removes the cooling cost layer from the data center. By eliminating conventional electrical cooling, cooling-water systems, refrigerants and major mechanical cooling equipment, the architecture is designed to reduce both capital and operating costs to a small fraction of conventional systems.
The VVC is grounded in established fluid mechanics and thermodynamics: Navier–Stokes, continuity, Boussinesq buoyancy, Archimedes’ principle, hydrostatic pressure, stack/chimney effect, natural convection, thermal stratification, boundary-layer heat transfer, Fourier’s law, Newton’s law of cooling, Bernoulli/continuity flow, Reynolds/Grashof/Rayleigh/Nusselt relationships, and conservation of energy. Together these principles explain the VVC’s heat-driven airflow, pressure differential, heat transfer, and exhaust heat recovery, with CFD and prototype testing providing supporting validation.
Rapid Permitting
VVC is designed to be deployed as server-room infrastructure within existing commercial, office and industrial space, avoiding the need for the extensive greenfield development approvals associated with conventional data centers.
With limited modifications such as rooftop ventilation, electrical upgrades and connectivity, the approach is designed to simplify permitting and potentially accelerate deployment in days compared with the months or years associated with conventional data-center development. Infinidium currently targets initial customer compute within 45 days, subject to procurement, commissioning and site-specific requirements.
A Global AI Infrastructure Bottleneck
The world now operates approximately 11,800 data centers, while AI is driving dramatically higher power densities and cooling requirements.
Industry tracking reported by major financial publications indicates that at least $156 billion of data center projects were blocked or stalled by local opposition in 2025. Texas alone has more than 1,800 projects in its large-load queue representing over 474 GW of potential demand, with approximately 90% associated with data centers, as the state moves to audit projects before new grid connections proceed. In Europe, European Commission research identifies limited access to energy and lengthy permitting procedures among significant obstacles to scaling data-center infrastructure.
JLL reports 57% of global data center projects experienced construction delays of three months or more in 2025, while the average global construction time for a 50 MW facility is approximately 18 months.
Infinidium is designed to address this bottleneck by reducing the infrastructure required to deploy high-density compute and enabling suitable existing buildings to become AI infrastructure.
Turning Thermal Waste Into an Energy Opportunity
Typically 85% of electricity consumed by servers converts into heat. Conventional infrastructure then spends additional energy, capital and, in many facilities, water and/or refrigerants to remove that heat. The VVC is designed to eliminate the conventional cooling cycle while harvesting value from the resulting thermal energy that is otherwise released into the environment.
Kinetic heat escaping from the VVC is captured and returned as internal power regeneration as hot cold side walls enable additional heat recovery. The architecture utilizes 3 phases of proven technologies that can lower external power beyond 30% in total.
Nvidia Strategic Positioning
Infinidium is an NVIDIA Inception Partner and is collaborating with Dell Technologies on enterprise computing infrastructure customizations under warranty. The passive cooling mechanism is supported by independent extensive CFD analysis, feasibility studies and prototype testing.
Sustainability Creates Additional Value
VVC is designed to operate without water-based cooling, refrigerants or conventional electrical cooling systems. The architecture also creates opportunities to recover waste heat and reintegrate a portion of that energy as supplemental onsite power.
Company modeling identifies approximately 1,400 tonnes of CO₂e avoidance per year per 5 MW deployment, with potential future GHG-credit monetization subject to measurement, verification and applicable methodologies.
Founding Customer Program and Pre-IPO/Seed Round
The Founding Customer allocation is capped at $1 million and will close upon allocation.
Separately, Infinidium is advancing its $1 million Seed Round at a $9 million pre-money valuation, with Castle Placement as placement partner. Proceeds are intended for GPU and hardware procurement, VVC fabrication, integration and working capital.
Paul Grist, Founder and CEO
“AI is becoming constrained by the physical systems required to power and cool it,” said Paul Grist, Founder and CEO of Infinidium Power. “Virtually all electricity consumed by computing hardware ultimately becomes heat, and we then spend more energy, capital and water to remove it. VVC is designed to eliminate that conventional cooling cycle, recover value from thermal waste, and put high-performance compute into existing buildings that can deploy far faster.”
