WHY “DIVERGENCE”?
In vector calculus, divergence is a vector operator that operates on a vector field, producing a scalar field giving the rate that the vector field alters the volume in an infinitesimal neighborhood of each point. — Wikipedia
In flow analysis, positive divergence will mark a source whereas a negative divergence will indicate a sink. The goal is to become a source of products, a producer, rather than a consumer.
The industry has a ton of design convergence, which in some cases is in reaction to an established performance node or general-purpose design and in others is due to a lack of creativity and reconsideration. In other words, these design pools have become a human effort sink where people compete to sell 99% similar rifles, placards, pull-tab-adjustable 2-point slings, etc., which is a waste of time and talent.
You will not see this here, except for a few products that simply fill an obvious hole and/or are fun products. We hope that your reactions will be, “I can’t believe no one has made that yet,” and, “wow, that one thing makes a big difference.”
So, the simple “del-dot” operator inscribed within the circle is our mark.
Yes, there is neuro-divergence involved, too.Yes, the symbol is a mathematical operator.Yes, that’s a nerd joke.Null Systems is the hardware division of Divergence Engineering.
Whereas Divergence Engineering develops concepts, Null Systems produces tools.
Current R&D programs involve muzzle devices, bladed tools, load-bearing equipment, and field systems.
Design philosophy and development notes are published by Divergence.
A NON-STANDARD ETHOS
We design equipment seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
Our products are American-made, mechanically honest, and developed on timelines long enough to get things right. They are not skeletonized for the sake of weight, not needlessly machine-time-minimized, and not outsourced to save a dollar at the cost of dimensional control, material control, and national integrity.
This is a young venture with a long list of goals.
Engineering includes art.
Life is short. Build interesting weapons and enjoy your time.
Divergence exists to provide the common man with life-saving equipment based on experience in the American Southeast and Rocky Mountains. From swamp to summit, come rain, shine, or sandstorm, whether the air is at 110 °F or -40 °F, may you overcome both man and nature.
