MIAMI, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Star8 Corp. (OTC: STRH), ("Star8" or the "Company"), through it's subsidiary TOMAHAWK SRL an Italian R&D and manufacturing company, specializing in EV, battery storage and electric motor innovations operating and also manufactures EV motorcycles under the brand Scarponi Motorcycles, is proud to announce that it has filed a patent application for a revolutionary Hot Water Heating System aptly named "ZeroTANK System".

Unlike our Scarponi Motorcycles, the "ZeroTANK System" is aimed at the mass market. "Not everyone has the need for one of our Scarponi Motorcycles, but everyone has a need, and right to clean, hot water"…… Gianluca Scarponi, CEO/CTO

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).

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

Verification of Claims, Test Results, and Performance

As part of our ongoing Joint Venture and agreement with the University of L'Aquila, all our products, inventions, patents and design are vetted, checked, tested and verified by the University's engineering department headed up by Professor Edoardo Alesse.

Delivery to market

We are currently in discussions with one of Europe's largest 'white goods' manufacturer with a view to license the unit, and have it manufactured on mass, and distributed through their existing distribution chain.

Driving the Future of Energy Sustainability

The 'ZeroTANK System' along with our recently submitted patents, 'DualTech System' aligns with the global push for sustainable energy solutions. By extending EV range, minimizing heat waste, and boosting motor performance, this innovation contributes significantly to reducing the carbon footprint of transportation and industry.
