the problem
Brown Emissions Kill Millions Every Year (source)
Ever heard of brown emissions? They are the particulate matter from brake, tire, and road surface wear. They are considered to be a thousand times more harmful than tailpipe exhaust, responsible for millions of deaths each year. Urban driving exacerbates brown emissions, so naturally, it’s expected to become a major public and regulatory issue.
Pollution from Manufacturing and Mining
In brake manufacturing, CO2 is released into the atmosphere. Not to mention the mining of iron ore causes air pollution in the form of nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide from diesel generators, trucks and other equipment. The mining of iron ore also causes water pollution of heavy metals and acid that drains from the mines. (source)
Ever see a truck going at a high speed up an off ramp? That’s brake fade.
Brake fade is a temporary and sudden reduction in braking power, caused by excessive heat in the system from braking repeatedly, under high loads or at high speeds. (source)
the solution
Lower Cost, Less Mass, Cooler Brakes
Imagine getting Formula One level braking on every road you drive.
Orbis Brakes collaborated with NASA to create a rotor design with a "Periodic Wave" pattern that generates surface cooling—whereas traditional rotors depend on less effective internal venting for cooling. The “Periodic Wave” design allows heat to be shed from spinning objects. This transforms a simple piece of low cost iron into a high-performance, aerodynamic brake technology that operates at cooler temperatures than current state-of-the-art technologies.
*The above is a rendering of a future product. Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development and is not yet available on the market.
Orbis Brakes Cool 2x faster than conventional brakes. (source)
As these brakes operate at lower temperatures, they emit significantly less brown carbon emissions. And while emissions are a significant environmental problem, the bigger problem is that hot brakes lead to brake fade and can cause people to lose control of their cars and trucks which can lead to significant injuries and even loss of life.

the market
We think Orbis Brakes is About to Turn the Market Upside Down
That's because vehicle brakes represent a $20.9 billion market (source) that has not seen a disruption since the 2001 introduction of high-performance (but hugely expensive) carbon-ceramic brakes. (source)
*The above is a rendering of a future product. Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development and is not yet available on the market.
We Believe Orbis Brakes is a game changer for the $20.9 Billion Global Brake Industry (source)
And while carbon ceramic brakes offer extraordinary performance—they can cost between $10,000 and $20,000 per set (source, source). The cast iron Orbis Brake offers equivalent performance but at a fraction of the price. These representations are supported by independent testing, expert media-based evaluations, and collaborations with industry experts including NASA.

ORBIS BRAKES: Lighter. Cooler. Safer. Greener.
The world’s first low-emission, high-performance brake is about to change everything.
Using revolutionary technology developed with NASA, Orbis Brakes delivers an unprecedented advantage across the brake spectrum — racecar performance at a consumer price. Find out how the Periodic Wave™ disk brake delivers a timely upgrade to the most important part of the vehicle.
Our Mission
Orbis Brakes Inc. was founded by people with extensive experience and obsessive interest in design innovation, energy efficiency, and real-world solutions.
Through a collaboration with NASA, those efforts have culminated in the Periodic Wave™ disc brake rotor, a revolutionary advancement that promises significantly lighter, cooler, safer, and more affordable performance across the vehicle brake spectrum.
In the process, we have fulfilled another company mission: to make products that enhance life on Earth. With a proprietary design capable of reducing the global CO2 footprint and lowering Non Exhaust Emissions, Orbis Brakes is uniquely positioned to become The Future of Braking.

The NASA + Orbis Brakes Partnership
How did NASA get involved with Orbis Brakes?
Orbis Brakes' founder Marcus Hays, is a long time inventor and electric vehicle veteran. He holds multiple patents in electric vehicle powertrains, related automotive components, and clean-power technologies. His company, Orbis Wheels produces after-market motorized wheels for vehicles. These vehicles use the on-demand power to take the load off the truck engine and regenerate power when braking or driving downhill. The motor can also be engage and disengage as needed. This retrofit kit has also been developed for towables that easily adds responsiveness and power to just about any vehicle. This powertrain technology is getting a lot of press. Scientists at NASA heard about what Orbis was doing, contacted Marcus and offered their expertise in heat dissipation and add new cooling technology to brakes. Thus, the partnership was founded.
Enlisting NASA expertise in aerodynamics and heat dispersement, the “Periodic Wave” design separates braking surfaces by vanes that grab air from around the hub and use centrifugal force to sling it away from the contact area.
This allows Orbis Brakes to be both lighter weight and more effective than traditional brakes that feature internal venting, transforming a simple piece of low cost iron into a high-performance aerodynamic brake, often comparable to carbon-ceramic brakes priced 10x higher.

Final Week to Invest in Orbis Brakes!
There are only 6 more days to invest in Orbis Brakes, and we are proud to announce that we expect to start shipping our first brake—NextWave in Q4 of 2022.
We have ramped up testing to meet this goal, and the results have been better than everyone expected including our partners at NASA. So much so, that we have increased the number of scientists on the Orbis Brakes team.
Orbis Brakes are not just a new coating or a new metal, we have literally redesigned the way the brake functions. Our Periodic Wave design operates on the concept of Thermal Mass, the ability of material to store, absorb and release heat. Because of its aerodynamic properties, Orbis Brakes are not solely reliant on mass for heat dissipation, and can be calibrated by weight, cooling properties, and price considerations according to vehicles and market segments.

Orbis Brakes EcoWave: The Green Choice
Scientists have identified the particulate matter (PM) from brakes, tires, and road surfaces as a dangerous form of airborne pollution, linked to the premature deaths of millions every year. Often referred to as non-exhaust emissions (NEE), these toxic particles are falling under greater scrutiny. This July, the European Commission introduced legislation that will cover PM emitted from brake pads (brake dust) for the first time in its Euro 7 regulations.
Additionally, millions of “zero emission” electric vehicles are not exempt from NEE pollution. With brake dust regulations expected to increase in the near future, the automotive industry will be seeking answers.
Orbis Brakes has a proactive solution. The Orbis Brakes EcoWave uses Periodic Wave™ technology specifically designed to deliver cooler operation (below 170˚ C) and significant brake dust reduction at an affordable price point for the vast majority of cars and trucks on the road.
As we reach our final week on StartEngine, we would like to remind you about the perks we are offering:
- Invest $5,000 and receive 10% bonus shares
- Invest $10,000 and receive 12% bonus shares

New Testing Results and Insights!
Orbis Brakes and our NASA Partners are super excited about these results.
TESTING RESULTS AND INSIGHTS
To verify results, Orbis Brakes has partnered with Detroit-based Greening Test Laboratories,* a specialist in brake evaluations covering a complete range of vehicles.
THE SHELBY GT500 TEST
For a recent baseline test, we submitted a Orbis Brakes NextWave custom configured for a 2021 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. The choice of this 4,200 lb. 760 hp, 200 mph powerhouse ensured results that would reflect the most demanding end of the braking spectrum. Our comparison brake was the Brembo equivalent.
THE STUNNING RESULTS
ZERO DANGEROUS BRAKE FADE
In high speed and heavyweight testing, Orbis Brakes exhibited none of the high temperature specs that create dangerous brake fade.
30% MORE TORQUE
Orbis Brakes delivered 30% more torque or “bite” than comparison brakes, meaning it required less pressure to get the same clamping force. This attribute results in cooler brakes and is crucial for emergency stops.
42% LESS WEIGHT
Orbis Brakes proved itself comparable to the industry leading brake in all key metrics, while holding a 42% weight advantage.
Stay tuned for more late braking news!

Although expensive, I can understand the $40m valuation based upon prior years of R&D and operational prep. From a risk perspective on a pre-product company though, it is very hard to invest off of blind faith in the mission and team (although I am sold on those aspects).
1. Are there any revenue/margin projections, 5-10 year plans, competitor analysis (ie with changing regulations), top of mind business risks, etc that you can share publicly or confidentially?
2. I love seeing the different braking models you are targeting. I presume each will perform slightly different and with different prices and target markets? Will these be operational in unison? What are the manufacturing capabilities like in the near term upon product completion?

Love the possibility of improving brakes - lighter, cooler, thus less fade and safer. But wonder about rust build-up on cast iron discs affecting performance. Suggest you look into aluminum discs, reinforced by boron nitride barbed nanotubes (BN Nano) which would be just as strong if not stronger than cast iron, be much lighter, have even faster heat dissipation, and wouldn’t rust. And could use recycled aluminum - say from beer or soda pop cans. And you could use that material for your aluminum pads.

How is this different than say, a Wilwood two piece rotor with aluminum hat? Besides stepping away from internal vanes, which in your FLIR test seem to show pretty poor performance at heat soak and heat removal? Also, as a product, do you intend to sell full conversion kits, or are these meant to be direct OEM swaps? My two piece rotors required new calipers and the full conversion was about $2000. That limits your market somewhat. It’ll be a hard sell to anyone at the mid to low range. And those at the high end will certainly want to go with something with a track pedigree.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
