Were rapidly commercializing autonomous systems powered by the oceans temperature differences for critical research and defense, as well as those that will help expand the Blue Economy, points out Yi Chao, Ph.D., CEO and founder of Seatrec. Jasons unparalleled expertise gained from a distinguished career in the US Navy is a tremendous resource to help us accomplish our mission.
Stacks time at the Pentagon included multiple formal appointments within NATO including the US National Representative for Systems, Concepts, and Integration within the NATO Science & Technology Organization. Following his role at the Pentagon, he is co-founding a startup in the maritime space – still in stealth – and works as the companys CTO.
He began his career designing and prototyping heavy equipment and industrial electronics at two manufacturing companies before earning his Ph.D. and moving to the Department of Defense (DoD). During his two-decade career at the DoD, Stack led programs at the Office of Naval Research (ONR) in maritime platform, sensor, perception, effector, and autonomy development. He then transitioned to an executive role where he acted as ONRs Technical Director and served as director of the Ocean, Atmosphere, and Space Research Division before taking up his post at the Pentagon.
Autonomous systems hold great potential for filling important capability gaps across a host of research, defense, and maritime missions but a reliance on batteries limits their endurance, explains Stack. Seatrecs technology provides abundant power that is clean and sustainable to free those systems to reach their potential by providing robust function sets with near limitless endurance.
Seatrecs pioneering energy harvesting system uses phase change materials to harness energy from temperature differences between the oceans various depths. These materials contract and expand creating pressure thats captured and converted into electricity. The clean, virtually limitless power enables scientists to integrate power-intensive sensors into its infiniTETM float that were previously restricted by battery capabilities and lifespans.
Seatrec counts the US Navys Office of Naval Research among its early backers and in 2022 launched a project in partnership with the Naval Postgraduate School to integrate hydrophones into autonomous, ocean-going robots.
In 2023, the company was selected for the National Security Innovation Network (NSIN) Propel Hawaii Accelerator. The program is a partnership between the NSIN and Decisive Point in collaboration with the U.S. Navys Pacific Fleetthe worlds largest fleet command encompassing 100 million square miles. Seatrec was selected from a competitive field of over 200 early-stage companies to join an elite cohort of enterprises developing cutting-edge technologies to help the modernization needs of the US Navy and the broader DoD community.

VISTA, Calif. – WEBWIRE – Wednesday, February 28, 2024
Seatrec, a renewable energy company that harvests energy from temperature differences in the environment, today announces the appointment of retired Rear Admiral and Founder/Principal of Blue Native Consulting, John Neagley, to its advisory board.
Johns long and distinguished career in the Navy saw him successfully lead complex operations and the development of new technologies amid high stakes and high standards, explains Yi Chao, Ph.D., CEO and founder of Seatrec. His understanding of what it takes to succeed in a maritime environment and his passion for developing the Blue Economy is a perfect fit with our mission of providing clean, renewable energy to existing and novel applications.
Neagleys three-and-a-half decades of experience in the Navy saw him command a Navy Destroyer and serve on a number of surface combatants, including those that participated in Operations Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom, and Desert Fox. Following his time at sea, Neagley managed a host of Naval research, development, and procurement projects, including acting as the executive officer for Littoral Combat Ships (PEO LCS). Before his retirement, he oversaw the Program Executive Office, Unmanned and Small Combatants (PEO USC) that set the course and scope of responsibilities for both manned and unmanned systems.
The maritime environment is demanding and providing clean, renewable power to the most remote areas has always been a limiting factor, points out Neagley. Seatrecs technology opens up exciting possibilities for maritime applications and for expanding the Blue Economy.
Seatrecs pioneering energy harvesting system uses phase change materials to harness energy from temperature differences between the oceans various depths. These materials contract and expand creating pressure thats captured and converted into electricity. The clean, virtually limitless power enables scientists to integrate power-intensive sensors into its infiniTETM float that typically require shore-supplied power or direct ship support via tethering.
The company counts the US Navys Office of Naval Research among its early backers and recently launched a project in partnership with the Naval Postgraduate School to study the impact of noise pollution on the ocean environments powered by Seatrecs technology. About Seatrec Media Contact

Smithtown New York Names Thursday, June 22, 2023 as “Kevin L. McCrudden Day”
Kings Park native, Kevin L. McCrudden was honored by a Proclamation by Smithtown Supervisor Wehrheim and Town Board naming a day in his honor on the eve of the World Premiere of his globally award winning documentary, “The Light of Man!”
Councilwoman Lisa Inzerillo and Kevin L. McCrudden
SMITHTOWN, N.Y. – June 25, 2023 – PRLog — Smithtown Supervisor Wehrheim and Town Board announced by Proclamation that Thursday, June 22,2023 was “Kevin L. McCrudden Day” in Smithtown, as presented by Smithtown Councilwoman Lisa Inzerillo.
After 20+ plus years of speaking all over America and becoming known as, “Mr. Motivation and America’s Chief Motivation Officer,” McCrudden triumphantly came home to share his newest and most successful project. Kevin brought his globally award-winning documentary, “The Light of Man” to the newly renovated Smithtown Performing Arts Center for his “World Premiere!” The documentary has been a “selection” at almost 20 Film Festivals around the world and has been selected as “Winner” at 8 of those festivals in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, London, Rome, Paris, Delhi and most recently, Cannes France. The New York Film Awards wrote: “Powerful. The Light of Man is a love letter to the world, which promotes original thinking about the power of connection between human beings.“
“Creating the documentary has been a long and “divine journey,” said McCrudden. “I can’t tell you exactly when it began, but all of the people that have been presented to me along this journey to help with the completion of the project has been nothing short of “divine intervention!”
Michael Mucciolo, the Board President of the Smithtown Performing Arts Council said, “To my knowledge, the Smithtown Performing Arts Theatre has never had a “World Premiere” of a movie in its 90+ year history. As our mission is to provide art and artists a place for the community to come together and take part in these experiences, it is an honor to see Kevin, a local Kings Park resident’s story come full circle with “The Light of Man,” at our newly renovated and upgraded Theatre. In addition to Kevin being from Kings Park, his Producer, Dominic Casillo, Sr. is from Northport.”
McCrudden stated, “I am very proud of the outcome of the documentary. In 67 minutes, we cover, history, religion, spirituality, science, physics and consciousness. And, in the end, I think Einstein would be proud of our outcome and conclusions. In fact, not only do we seem to prove the movement toward what Einstein saw as a “future religion,” but utilize, probably one of the most profound comments made by Einstein to cover the human experience and need for “religion” or a “higher power:”
“This “divine journey” may lead to a new generation of “enlightenment.”
