It appears that such calculation may involve rounding. If so, please expand your disclosure to explain that calculations are or may be rounded and disclose the rounding convention being utilized.

Please be advised that the subject disclosure has been revised, in response to such comment. In addition, similar disclosure appearing throughout the documents has been likewise revised.

Offering Summary, page 4

Comment No. 3 : We note your response to comment 4. Please tell us about the additional 12,070,000 common shares issued since June 18, 2025 that are not included in Note 12 on page F-16. Include the dates of issuance, the number of shares and consideration for which securities were issued.

Following the April 30, 2025, balance sheet date, which reported 80,150,491 shares of common stock outstanding, the Company has issued additional common shares, increasing the total shares outstanding to 95,920,491. Note 12 previously disclosed the issuance of 3,700,000 shares as a subsequent event. The Company now provides the following breakdown of the additional 12,070,000 shares as requested.

The Company entered into Stock Subscription Agreements with accredited investors pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Through these agreements, the Company privately sold a total of 9,490,000 shares of common stock for aggregate cash proceeds of $209,000. These shares were issued as "restricted securities" under Rule 144 on the following dates and in the following amounts:

June 19, 2025: 1,540,000 shares

June 30, 2025: 1,000,000 shares

July 3, 2025: 1,000,000 shares

July 7, 2025: 1,000,000 shares

July 10, 2025: 50,000 shares

July 23, 2025: 100,000 shares

July 30, 2025: 4,800,000 shares

Additionally, on June 12, 2025, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 80,000 shares of common stock valued at $760, and on July 7, 2025, approved the issuance of 2,500,000 shares of common stock valued at $20,000, both in exchange for services rendered to the Company.

Business

Our Products, page 19

Comment No. 6 : Please tell us why you have a reasonable basis for providing projections beyond one year. See Item 10(b)(1) of Regulation S-K. We note the $50 million maximum proceeds estimated from this offering exceeds your estimate of the capital needed for construction and other costs for all four products over the projected 3-year period. For example, cost estimates in year 1 are approximately $32.75 million and $12.5 million each in years 2 and 3.

Please be advised that, after re-evaluating the projection information, the Company has determined that presenting one-year projections is more appropriate in the circumstances and provides less speculative information to investors.

Comment No. 7 : The presentation for HyGridTM System and CHRS System include financial measures labelled as Cost of Revenues and Net Profit(Loss). Note (1) discloses that Net Profit reflects operating expenses only associated with each respective system and excludes other non-related operating and other expenses incurred by the Company. Based on the disclosure, these two financial measures are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A registrant may not use titles or descriptions of non-GAAP financial measures that are the same or confusingly similar to titles or descriptions used for GAAP financial measures. To the extent your presentation continues to include non-GAAP financial measures, include a clear definition or explanation of those financial measures, a description of the GAAP financial measure to which it is most directly comparable, and an explanation why the non-GAAP measure was selected instead of a GAAP measure. See Item 10(b)(2)(iv) of Regulation S-K.

Please be advised that the subject disclosure has been revised, in response to such comment.

Comment No. 8 : In regards to your HyGridTM System, it appears that you expect customers to incur 35,400,000 kilowatts per year ($2,832,000/$0.08 per kilowatt). Please disclose how you determined that amount. Additionally, disclose how you determined the Cost of Revenues of $1,002,000.

Please be advised the subject disclosure has been revised, in response to such comment.

Comment No. 9 : In regards to the CHRS product, disclose the sale price of $375,000 per unit in the narrative.

Please be advised the subject disclosure has been revised, in response to such comment.

Comment No. 10 : We note your response to comment 8. In view of your determination that the CHRS system does not meet the criteria for asset capitalization, revise the discussion to remove reference to owning a built CHRS system that is being marketed.

Please be advised the subject disclosure has been revised, in response to such comment.

Comment No. 11 : The disclosure regarding your Hydrogen Carbon Cleaner product appears to indicate that you have the product available to be demonstrated and sold. If this is not the case, please revise your disclosure.

Please be advised the subject disclosure has been revised, in response to such comment.

Comment No. 12 : Please disclose how you determined that you could receive $2,500,000 in revenues related to your Electrolyzer Manufacturing Facility.

Please be advised the subject disclosure has been revised, in response to such comment.

General

Comment No. 13 : We note your response to prior comment 9 and reissue the comment in part. We note your offering statement continues to include references to your "sole director." However, your executive management disclosure reflects that you have three directors. Please revise or advise.

Please be advised that references to "sole director" have been removed from the disclosure, in response to such comment.

Comment No. 14 : We note your response to prior comment 12 and reissue the comment. We note you disclose in Item 4 of Part I that you are offering 50,000,000 securities in this offering.
