Star8 Corp. subsidiary TOMAHAWK SRL Files Patent for Revolutionary Hot Water Heating System "ZeroTank System"
Rhea-AI Summary
Star8 Corp. (OTC: STRH) has announced that its subsidiary TOMAHAWK SRL has filed a patent application for the 'ZeroTANK System' (ZTS), a revolutionary hot water heating system. The system produces hot water on demand at 15 liters per minute at 40°C, without requiring water storage.
Key features include:
- 85% reduction in physical volume compared to traditional systems
- Instantaneous hot water delivery using stored electrical energy
- Smart connectivity features (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet)
- Remote monitoring via mobile app
- Optional air-heating and RGB lighting modules
The company is in discussions with a major European white goods manufacturer for licensing and mass production. The University of L'Aquila's engineering department, led by Professor Edoardo Alesse, validates all products and patents.
Positive
- Patent filing for innovative water heating technology
- Significant space savings (85% reduction) compared to traditional systems
- Potential licensing deal with major European manufacturer
- University partnership for product validation
Negative
- Product still in development phase without proven market acceptance
- Dependent on successful licensing negotiations for mass production
- Potential competition from established water heater manufacturers

A New Era of Efficiency and Performance
The "ZeroTANK System"' (ZTS) produces hot water on demand, (zero tank or water storage) at a rate of 15 litres/per minute @ 40 degrees Celsius (3.96 gallons/per minute @ 104 degrees Fahrenheit).
COMPARISON:
ZERO TANK SYSTEM vs 120L TRADITIONAL BOILER
Characteristics | 120L Traditional Boiler | ZeroTank System |
Nominal Capacity | 120 liters at 65°C | 242 liters at 40°C |
Mixed Water Output (at 40°C) | ~240 liters | ~242 liters (4 x 5-minute showers) |
Power Rating | 1.5 kW fixed | 1.5 kW power + 18 kW peak |
Energy Required for 240L @ 40°C | ~7 kWh | ~0.5 kWh (0.5 kWh from the grid) |
Heating Time | 4–5 hours | 20 minutes (on-demand) |
Standby Losses | ~1.2 kWh/day (~438 kWh/year) | ~0.12 kWh/day (~43 kWh/year) |
Estimated Annual Output | ~1369 kWh | ~2190 kWh (only during use) |
Efficiency | Low (slow, with heat losses) | High (instant and direct heating) |
Space Occupied | ~216 liters of physical volume | ~31 liters (− |
Hygiene | Stagnant water → bacterial risk | Flow-through only → no stagnation |
Connectivity | None | Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, App control |
Additional Comfort Options | None | Air heater, RGB chromotherapy, speakers |
Design | Standard cylindrical | Compact, wall-mounted, modern |
Advantages
- Elimination of standby heat losses due to the absence of a storage tank
- Reduction in physical volume by over
85% compared to traditional systems with equivalent hot water output - Instantaneous and continuous delivery of hot water using stored electrical energy
- Compatible with limited power grids through controlled recharging
- Modular architecture suitable for residential, healthcare, and professional environments
Functional and Structural Characteristics
- The system does not include a thermal storage tank: water is heated at the time of use via battery-stored energy.
- The device supports local and remote connectivity using common communication protocols (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, Zigbee, LTE, etc.).
- It can be monitored and controlled remotely via mobile app or integrated into smart-home ecosystems.
- Optionally, the unit can be equipped with an air-heating module to improve shower comfort.
- It may also include optional RGB lighting systems for chromotherapy and integrated speakers for music or ambient sound playback.
- All optional modules are software-managed and configurable via central control or remote interface.
Conclusion
The system:
- Delivers the same amount of hot water as a 120-liter boiler
- In just 20 minutes, with no thermal losses
- Occupies
85% less space - Is more hygienic and safer (no water stagnation)
- Is connected, customizable, and expandable with optional features
