Joi Scientific’s Long Hydrogen Illusion
Joi Scientific has resurfaced with a refreshed website, new press releases and a 2024 patent family, but it is essentially a continuation of an 18‑year‑old hydrogen over‑unity narrative. The company’s earlier claims of 200‑300% energy return have been replaced with vague plasma‑driven and quantum‑informed language, yet no independent performance data have been disclosed. Core figures such as James Kirchoff, Robert Koeneman and Traver Kennedy have remained involved throughout the various corporate shells. Past public funding, notably a C$23 million (~$17 million) investment from New Brunswick’s utility, collapsed after technical reviews found the claims untenable.
