FIRST TELLURIUM AND PYRODELTA CLARIFY THIRD-PARTY TESTING ON THERMOELECTRIC MODULES FOR DRONE COMBUSTION ENGINES

First Tellurium Corp. has provided follow-up information to its Sept. 18, 2025, news release regarding successful testing of thermoelectric modules that can extend the range of high payload drones powered by combustion engines. The modules, which attach to drone engine exhaust manifolds, use heat differentials to charge the batteries that power all the drone's on-board electronics.

"Following that news release," said First Tellurium president and chief executive officer Tyrone Docherty, "we received many inquiries about who conducted the testing. We wish to clarify that these were third party tests, conducted by a U.S. drone manufacturer. While PyroDelta provided input and guidance, the tests were performed and verified by the manufacturer. These were not done in-house."

The Sept. 18 news release reported that the modules were tested in vacuum chambers to simulate high altitudes. They were also blasted with heat and sand to simulate harsh desert environments.

"I'm confident the tests proved the resilience and effectiveness of the thermoelectric modules," said PyroDelta head engineer Michael Abdelmaseh. "This is a reputable and long-established drone manufacturer conducting the test. They were very pleased with the results, as were we."
