Innovation beyond conventional wisdom
ZADEUS comprises a dynamic small outfit consisting of an unconventional, yet formidable team, with a collective shared insight spanning 4 decades and in excess of 80 publications in scientific journals, symposia proceedings and several patents.
"Welcome to the Post Nuclear era and the Syntheos Symmetry Core Approach to Modular, Containerized Plasma Power"
This is an important reminder that technology is an ever-evolving concept.
As we continue to develop our proprietary approach to post nuclear baseline power, we now have adequate efficiency for a low stressed system engineered for longevity with high redundancy and low maintenance intervals without the usual environmental complexities of SMR.
Rod Scholtz
Chief Executive Officer
The Founder & CEO of ZADEUS, a company focused on developing new energy technologies.
After specializing in Cognitive Studies, Rod’s dimensional experience, derived in the field of Neuro-Semantics, applied specialized modalities that forged the visionary behind one of the most significant new energy technologies formerly known as PPEC/DEI now dubbed as SYNTHEOS SYMMETRY CORE plasma conversion technology.
With a focus on pioneering, global concepts, his skillset allows for conceptualizing, seeking & finding connection towards an objective then, via technological intuition, shortcutting the process of traditional development by interrelating ideas; Connecting those dots (and the humor this brings). This background allows him a unique vantage point to arrive at pioneering conclusions.
He is full-time vested in the development of SYNTHEOS SYMMETRY CORE plasma transition technology and the alchemy of its creative global commercialization. This, and a few other dynamic energy transition processes, has captured his imagination, turning its stored source energy into electrical and/or mechanical energy.
Marié Scholtz
Chief Strategy Officer
Marié is a seasoned professional with over 20 years of experience as an Accountant, specializing in Management Accounting within the Department of Trade & Industry, Housing Developments and R&D Environment (under CIMA and ENEB International MBA Candidate).

He has a BSc (Education – UWC) and BSc Honours in Botany with a post graduate course in Integrated Environmental Management field from UCT. He has secured environmental authorisations for Wind Generation Projects of more than 200MW, during REIPPPP Bidding Rounds 1 – 3; Environmental Approval for a R5 Billion Marina Development in the Seychelles (Eden Island); and he also secured environmental approvals for the development of 49 Ocean Villas as part of the Banyan Tree Hotels’ future development, Seychelles. Currently, he is leading the environmental assessment for the dredging of the Victoria Port.
Imagination takes you everywhere
Every powered device can be retrofitted and driven by the ZADEUS Air to Plasma power converter/generators. If you can imagine it, we can power it.
