Maetec LLC

Maetec LLC is a renewables & environment company based out of Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. While walking to work one day and thinking, the brilliant idea of the Ocean Energy Capture and Storage concept just sort of emerged in John Kraczek's consciousness after years and years of being very interesting in renewable energy and electrolysis. Friends including other engineers and business people liked the idea and we formed MAETEC LLC as a way to further develop the technology and move it forward. The tremendous support from local colleges, universities, friends, and family helped developed the technology until trials on the Great Salt Lake had shown that the concepts work. The major goal for us was the development of the technology so that it could be used to overcome poverty in island nations and coastal areas in developing or underserved areas. In his role as Founder and Technology Director, John's work included planning and directing engineering design, research studies, and technology tests including large "wind" tunnel and lake trial testing. It also included meeting with government officials including ministries of energy, environment, and even prime ministers of various island countries to learn about their energy needs and ways that technology could support their struggling economies. It also involved meeting with university and college researchers and program directors to gain their support in various research projects as well. The overall visioning of how to develop the technology and the coordination and motivation of a staff of engineers, technicians, and student supports was a key part of our work. Electrolysis efficiency records in making hydrogen and oxygen from seawater, marine wind turbine technology efficiency leaps, and remarkable technology development has been part of our work at both MAETEC LLC.
