Description of Business [Abstract]	'
Description of Business	'
	Note 1 -   Description of Business
	Organization
	Ener-Core, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”), a Nevada corporation, was formed on April 29, 2010 as Inventtech, Inc.  On July 1, 2013, we acquired our wholly owned subsidiary, Ener-Core Power, Inc., (formerly Flex Power Generation, Inc.), a Delaware corporation.  The shareholders of Ener-Core Power, Inc. are now our majority shareholders and the management of Ener-Core Power, Inc. is now our management.  Therefore the acquisition is treated as a “reverse merger” and our financial statements are those of Ener-Core Power, Inc.  All equity amounts presented have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse merger as if it had occurred November 12, 2012.
	Reverse Merger
	We entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Ener-Core Power, Inc. (“Ener-Core Power”), a Delaware corporation, and Flex Merger Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which the Merger Sub would merge with and into Ener-Core Power, with Ener-Core Power as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). Prior to the merger, we were a public reporting “shell company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Merger Agreement was approved by the boards of directors of each of the parties to the Merger Agreement.  In April 2013, the pre-merger public shell company effected a 30-for-1 forward split of its common stock.  All share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the effect of the stock split.
	As provided in the Contribution Agreement dated November 12, 2012 (the “Contribution Agreement”) by and among FlexEnergy, Inc. (“FlexEnergy”, “Parent”,), FlexEnergy Energy Systems, Inc. (“FEES”), and Ener-Core Power, Inc. (“Successor”), Ener-Core Power, Inc. was spun-off from FlexEnergy, Inc. as a separate corporation.  As a part of that transaction, Ener-Core Power, Inc. received all assets (including intellectual property) and certain liabilities pertaining to the Gradual Oxidizer business (Predecessor), the business carved out of Parent.  The owners of Predecessor did not distribute ownership of Successor entity pro rata.  The assets and liabilities were transferred to us and recorded at their historical carrying amounts since the transaction was a transfer of net assets between entities under common control.
	On July 1, 2013, Ener-Core Power completed the Merger with us.  Upon completion of the merger, the operating company immediately became a public company.  The Merger was accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization. As part of the reverse merger, the pre-merger public shell company shareholders cancelled 120,520,000 of common stock which were then outstanding.  This cancellation has been retroactively accounted for as of the inception of Ener-Core Power, Inc. on November 12, 2012. Accordingly, Ener-Core Power was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of Ener-Core Power.  Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the financial statements are those of Ener-Core Power and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Ener-Core Power.  Our assets, liabilities and results of operations were de minimis at the time of merger.
	Description of the Business
	We design, develop, and manufacture products based on proprietary technologies that aim to expand the operating range of gaseous fuel while improving emissions, which technologies we refer to collectively as “Gradual Oxidization” or “Gradual Oxidizer.”  Our products aim to expand power generation into previously uneconomical markets while, at the same time, reduce gaseous emissions from industrial processes that contribute to air pollution and climate change.  The Gradual Oxidizer integrates with a gas turbine and generator to create a power station.
	Our product, the FP250, is a complete system consisting of our designed and patented gradual oxidizer, integrated with a gas turbine and generator.  The FP250 has been designed to operate on fuels from 100% combustible gas down to concentrations of 5% or less combustible gas content.  The FP250 has applications in landfill, oil production, coal mining, and other operations, and offers our customers two distinct value propositions: the destruction of low quality waste gases with no harmful emissions and the generation of energy from a renewable fuel source.
	We are currently developing our second commercial product, the Ener-Core Powerstation KG2-3G/GO (“KG2”), which will combine our Gradual Oxidizer with a two megawatt gas turbine developed by Dresser-Rand a.s., a subsidiary of Dresser-Rand Group Inc. (“Dresser Rand”).  We have completed system layout and analytic models integrating our Gradual Oxidizer with the turbine and have initiated design and development of the KG2.  We expect to field test units in late 2014 or 2015, with initial commercial shipments shortly thereafter.
	We sell our products directly and through distributors in two countries, the United States and Netherlands.
	Going Concern
	Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.  Since our inception, we have made a substantial investment in research and development to develop the Gradual Oxidizer, have successfully deployed a FP250 field test unit at the U.S. Army base at Fort Benning, Georgia, and shipped our first commercial product in November 2013.
	We have sustained recurring net losses and negative cash flows since inception and have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and allow us to continue as a going concern. As of April 15, 2014, we have a substantial working capital deficit and require significant additional capital immediately to continue operations. We must secure additional funding to pay our current liabilities, continue as a going concern and execute our business plan.
	Management’s plan is to obtain such resources by obtaining capital sufficient to meet our operating expenses by seeking additional equity and/or debt financing, although no definitive agreement has been entered into in connection therewith as of April 15, 2014.   The cash and cash equivalents balance as of December 31, 2013 was $1.2 million, of which $0.1 million remained on April 15, 2014. The current cash allows us to continue operations through the next week. However, as of April 15, 2014, our short term liabilities totaled $1.0 million.  Currently, we do not have adequate funds to satisfy these liabilities.  If we are unable to secure financing immediately, then we may be forced to cease or curtail operations immediately.
	We will need to obtain additional financing to continue operations beyond next week.  We cannot guaranty that we will be able to complete a financing on a timely basis, with favorable terms or at all. Even if we are able to secure financing, we may still have to significantly reduce costs and delay projects, which would adversely affect our business, customers and program development.  We are currently negotiating with some of our shareholders for temporary financing.
	We will pursue raising additional debt or equity financing to fund our operations and product development.  If future funds are raised through issuance of stock or debt, these securities could have rights, privileges, or preferences senior to those of common stock and debt covenants that could impose restrictions on the Company’s operations. The sale of additional equity securities or debt financing will likely result in additional dilution to the Company’s current shareholders.  We cannot make any assurances that any additional financing will be completed on a timely basis, on acceptable terms or at all.   Management’s inability to successfully complete any other financing will adversely impact our ability to continue as a going concern. If our business fails or we are unable to seek immediate financing, our investors may face a complete loss of their investment.
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments that might be necessary if we were unable to meet our obligations or continue operations as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Note 2 -  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ener-Core Power, Inc.  All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. All amounts are rounded to the nearest $000, except certain per share amounts within the footnotes.
	Prior to November 12, 2012, we did not operate as a separate legal entity. As a result the historical financial information for the cumulative period from January 1, 2012 through November 11, 2012, has been “carved out” of the financial statements of FlexEnergy.  Such financial information is limited to Ener-Core Power, Inc. related activities, assets and liabilities only.
	The carved-out financial information includes both direct and indirect expenses.  The historical direct expenses consist primarily of the various costs of direct operations.  Indirect costs represent expenses that were allocable to the business. The indirect expense allocations are based upon: (1) estimates of the percentage of time spent by FlexEnergy employees working on or supporting Ener-Core Power, Inc. business matters; and (2) allocations of various expenses associated with the employees, including salary, benefits, travel and entertainment, rent associated with the employees’ office space, accounting and other general and administrative expenses.
	Management believes the assumptions and allocations underlying the carve-out financial information are reasonable, although they are not necessarily indicative of the costs the Gradual Oxidizer Business would have incurred if it had operated on a standalone basis or as an entity independent of FlexEnergy. Accordingly, the financial position, operating results and cash flows may have been materially different if the Ener-Core Power, Inc. business had operated as a stand-alone entity during the periods presented.
	The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
	Reclassifications
	Certain amounts in the 2012 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income.
	Segments
	We operate in one segment.  All of our operations are located domestically.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.  Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the allocation of operations during the carve-out periods, valuation of certain assets, useful lives, and carrying amounts of property and equipment, equity instruments, and share-based compensation; provision for contract losses; valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets; and exposure to warranty and other contingent liabilities.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.
	Foreign Currency Adjustments
	Our functional currency for all operations worldwide is the U.S. dollar.  Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year. Income statement accounts are translated at average rates for the year.  At December 31, 2013 and 2012 we did not hold any foreign currency asset or liability amounts.  Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are reported as other income in the period they occurred.  During 2013, we recognized foreign currency transaction gain of $34,000 and none during 2012.  There have not been foreign currency translation gains or losses incurred in 2013, 2012 and for the period from January 1, 2014 through the date of this report.
	Concentrations of Credit Risk
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	We maintain our non-interest bearing transactional cash accounts at financial institutions for which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) provides insurance coverage of up to $250,000.  For interest bearing cash accounts, from time to time, balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC.  We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk related to these deposits.  At December 31, 2013, we had $951,000 amounts in excess of the FDIC limit.
	We consider all highly liquid investments available for current use with an initial maturity of three months or less and are not restricted to be cash equivalents.  We invest our cash in short-term money market accounts.
	Restricted Cash
	Under a credit card processing agreement with a financial institution that was entered in 2013, we are required to maintain funds on deposit with the financial institution as collateral.  The amount of the deposit is at the discretion of the financial institution and as of December 31, 2013 was $50,000.
	Accounts Receivable
	Our accounts receivable are typically from credit worthy customers or, for international customers are supported by guarantees or letters of credit.  For those customers to whom we extend credit, we perform periodic evaluations of our customers and maintain allowances for potential credit losses as deemed necessary.  We generally do not require collateral to secure accounts receivable.  We have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable.  We periodically review our accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt.  Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
	At December 31, 2013 and 2012, we did not have any allowance for doubtful accounts.  Although we expect to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the recorded amounts.
	As of December 31, 2013, one customer accounted for 100% of total accounts receivable.  There was no accounts receivable at December 31, 2012.  Two customers accounted for 100% of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013.  One customer accounted for 100% of net revenues for the period from November 12, 2012 through December 31, 2012.  There were no revenues for the period from January 1, 2012 through November 11, 2012 (Predecessor).
	Accounts Payable
	As of December 31, 2013, two vendors accounted for approximately 48% of total accounts payable.  As of December 31, 2012, two vendors accounted for 66% of total accounts payable.  These were the only vendors that individually accounted for more than 10% of accounts payable.  Three vendors accounted for approximately 65% of purchases for the year ended December 31, 2013.  No vendors accounted for more than 10% of purchases for the period from November 12, 2012 through December 31, 2012 (Successor) and one vendor accounted for 72% of purchases for the period from January 1, 2012 through November 11, 2012 (Predecessor).  These vendors provided commonly available services and we do not anticipate that a loss of these vendors will impact our results of operations.
	Inventories
	Inventories, which consist of raw materials, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined by the average-cost method, which approximates the first-in, first-out method.  At each balance sheet date, we evaluate our ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence.  This evaluation primarily includes an analysis of forecasted demand in relation to the inventory on hand, among consideration of other factors.  Based upon the evaluation, provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values.  Once established, write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the respective inventories.  At December 31, 2013, we did not have a reserve for slow-moving obsolete inventory.  We had no inventory at December 31, 2012.
	Costs in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts
	Costs in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets represents accumulation of costs for labor, materials, overhead and other costs that have been incurred. These costs will be recognized as costs of goods sold when the contract is considered complete in accordance with the completed-contract method.
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are stated at cost, and are being depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to ten years. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed.  At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts.  Gains or losses from retirements or sales are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.
	Deposits
	Deposits primarily consist of amounts incurred or paid in advance of the receipt of fixed assets or are deposits for rent and insurance.
	Deferred Rent
	We record deferred rent expense, which represents the temporary differences between the reporting of rental expense on the financial statements and the actual amounts remitted to the landlord. The deferred rent portion of lease agreements are leasing inducements provided by the landlord. Also, tenant improvement allowances provided are recorded as a deferred rent liability and recognized ratably as a reduction to rent expense over the lease term.
	Intangible Assets
	We amortize our intangible assets with finite lives over their estimated useful lives.  See Note 6 for additional details regarding the components and estimated useful lives of intangible assets.
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	We account for our long-lived assets in accordance with the accounting standards which require that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate.  We consider the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable based upon its review of the following events or changes in circumstances: the asset’s ability to continue to generate income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods; loss of legal ownership or title to the assets; significant changes in our strategic business objectives and utilization of the asset; or significant negative industry or economic trends.  An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset are less than its carrying amount.  As of November 11, 2012, we performed an annual review of the FP 250 Beta development test unit fixed asset, to assess potential impairment, at which time management deemed the asset to be partially impaired.  As a result, we expensed $329,000 to impairment of long-lived assets.  As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we do not believe there have been any other impairments of our long-lived assets.  There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for our products will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and capital lease liabilities.  The carrying amounts of the financial instruments are reasonable estimates of their fair values due to their short-term nature or proximity to market rates for similar debt.
	We determine the fair value of our financial instruments based on a three-level hierarchy established for fair value measurements under which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of observable or unobservable inputs.  Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect management’s market assumptions.  This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.  These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:
		·	Level 1: Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Currently, we do not have any items classified as Level 1.
		·	Level 2: Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Funds maintained in our money market account are classified as Level 2.
		·	Level 3: Valuations based on inputs that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable and involve management judgment (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). Currently, we do not have any items classified as Level 3.
	If the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, a financial security’s hierarchy level is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	Revenue Recognition
	We generate revenue from the sale of our clean power energy systems and from consulting services. Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, product delivery and acceptance have occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonable assured.  Amounts billed to clients for shipping and handling are classified as sales of product with related costs incurred included in cost of sales.
	Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenue is recorded.  We defer any revenue for which the services have not been performed or is subject to refund until such time that we and our customer jointly determine that the services have been performed or no refund will be required.
	Revenues under long-term construction contracts are generally recognized using the completed-contract method of accounting.  Long-term construction-type contracts for which reasonably dependable estimates cannot be made or for which inherent hazards make estimates difficult are accounted for under the completed-contract method. Revenues under the completed-contract method are recognized upon substantial completion – that is acceptance by the customer, compliance with performance specifications demonstrated in a factory acceptance test or similar event.  Accordingly, during the period of contract performance, billings and costs are accumulated on the balance sheet, but no profit or income is recorded before completion or substantial completion of the work.  Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized in full in the period in which losses become probable and estimable.  Changes in estimate of profit or loss on contracts are included in earnings on a cumulative basis in the period the estimate is changed.  We have  deferred all amounts received on our contract with Efficient Energy Conversion Turbo Machinery, B.V. (“EECT”) until the contract is substantially complete, at which time all advanced payments received on the contract ($701,000), will be recorded as revenue.  As of December 31, 2013, we had a provision for contract loss of approximately $100,000 related to our contract with EECT.  The provision was included in cost of goods sold at December 31, 2013.
	Southern Research Contract
	In April 2009, we entered into an initial contract with Southern Research Institute (“SRI”) to perform all detailed design, fabrication and site integration of installing a Turbine/Thermal Oxidizer demonstration unit.  The scope of work also required us to commission and start up the demonstration unit including operator and maintenance training.  In January of 2010, we and SRI amended the contract to a fixed price contract value at $1,227,000, which required us to provide two 200kw Flex Powerstations (“Turbine 1” and “Turbine 2,” respectively) to be installed at two Department of Defense locations in the United States.  In addition, the contract, as amended, required us to provide field integration, basic operator and maintenance training including on-site support for the first year of operation and also to maintain, operate and train operators of the equipment.  We delivered Turbine 1 and installed the equipment in November 2011 and completed the operations and training phase in November 2012.  The third amendment to the contract provided for us to deliver a second Turbine/Thermal Oxidizer unit and upgrade the engine of Turbine 1.  The contract required the customer to identify a site for the second unit by December 31, 2012.  However, a suitable site was not selected and the customer cancelled its order for the second unit.  The SRI contract has been accounted for in accordance with the completed-contract method.  We deferred all amounts received on this contract for Turbine 1 and Turbine 2 until the contract was substantially completed on December 31, 2012, at which time all advanced payments received on the contract ($991,000) was recorded as revenue and the remaining accumulated deferred costs of $991,000 were recorded as cost of goods sold in the period from November 12 through December 31, 2012 (Successor).
	Research and Development Costs
	Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  Research and development was $2.3 million, $0.1 million and $2.3 million, for the year ended December 31, 2013, the period from November 12, 2012 through December 31, 2012 (Successor) and the period from January 1, 2012 through November 11, 2012 (Predecessor), respectively.
	Share-Based Compensation
	We maintain a stock option plan (see Note 11) and record expenses attributable to the stock option plan. We amortize share-based compensation from the date of grant on a straight-line basis over the requisite service (vesting) period for the entire award.
	We account for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services at fair value.  The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant’s or vendor’s performance is complete.  In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.
	In accordance with the accounting standards, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor’s balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes.  Accordingly, we record the fair value of the fully vested, non-forfeitable common stock issued for future consulting services as prepaid expense in our consolidated balance sheets.
	Income Taxes
	We account for income taxes under the provisions of the accounting standards.  Under the accounting standards, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such asset will not be realized through future operations.
	The accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits.  We recognize any uncertain income tax positions on income tax returns at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority.  An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.  As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and November 11, 2012, there were no unrecognized tax benefits included in the consolidated balance sheet that would, if recognized, affect the effective tax rate.  Our practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.  We had no accrual for interest or penalties on our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and November 11, 2012, respectively and have not recognized interest and/or penalties in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, the period from November 12, 2012 through December 31, 2012 and the period from January 1, 2012 through November 11, 2012.
We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions.  Our tax year for 2012 is subject to examination by the taxing authorities.
We do not foresee material changes to our gross uncertain income tax position liability within the next twelve months.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares assumed to be outstanding during the period of computation.  Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.  Options and warrants to purchase approximately 9.5 million and 3.2 million shares of common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2013 and 2012,  respectively, but were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share due to the anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share.  There were no options or warrants outstanding at November 11, 2012.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” that sets forth circumstances in which an unrecognized tax benefit, generally reflecting the difference between a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a company’s income tax return and the benefit recognized on its financial statements, should be presented in the company’s financial statements as a liability rather than as a reduction of a deferred tax asset.  The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted.  The adoption of these provisions is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

	Amortization of assets under capital lease was $1,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	In 2010, we started construction of the FP250 Beta development test unit at the Portsmouth, New Hampshire manufacturing facility of FlexEnergy for the purpose of completing the second development phase for software, controls, systems, and components and serve as a demonstration unit for potential customers.  In July 2012, the construction of the FP250 Beta development test unit was completed and the asset was placed in service at the Portsmouth location.  We had accumulated costs significantly higher than the amount originally expected in constructing the FP250 Beta development test unit. As a result, we performed an evaluation of the FP250 Beta development test unit for impairment as this was an indication that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable.  The total accumulated cost of constructing the FP250 was $1,089,000 as of July 2012, the date the asset was placed in service at the Portsmouth location. As part of our review, the fair market value of the FP250 Beta development test unit was determined to be $760,000.  This determined fair market value was assessed to be the realizable value we could expect to receive on the sale of such equipment in a current transaction between willing parties, which is based on the sales price negotiated in the Distribution agreement with EECT (see Note 14). The impairment charge of $329,000 represented the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the FP250 Beta development unit.
	The FP250 Beta development test unit was a contributed asset pursuant to the terms of the November 12, 2012 Contribution Agreement. In 2013, the unit was relocated to the University of California, Irvine, where it will continue to be used as a development and demonstration unit.
	There were no other indicators of impairment related to long-lived assets that resulted in additional impairment analysis.

	Note 10 -  Equity
	In April 2013, we sold and issued 1,867,000 shares of our common stock to our major stockholder at $0.75 per share in consideration of approximately $728,000 in cash proceeds and for the conversion of approximately $671,000 of our debt and working capital obligations that we had incurred between the spin-off transaction in November 2012 and March 2013.  Certain cash proceeds were received, and all repayments occurred, in April 2013, and additional cash proceeds were received in June 2013.
	In July 2013, we sold and issued 4,614,000 shares of our common stock at $0.75 per share in connection with the Merger-related private placement for which we received proceeds of approximately $3,077,000 million, net of approximately $383,000 in broker-dealer commissions.  As discussed in Note 13, we also issued 133,000 shares as conversion of a $100,000 related party note payable. In connection with this financing, we issued warrants for the purchase of up to 475,000 shares of our common stock to placement agents in July 2013.  The warrants have an exercise price of $0.75 per share and expire five years from issuance.
	In August 2013, we sold and issued 413,000 shares of our common stock at $0.75 per share, for which we received proceeds of approximately $285,000, net of approximately $25,000 in broker-dealer commissions. In connection with this financing, we issued warrants for the purchase of up to 36,000 shares of our common stock to placement agents. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.75 per share and expire five years from issuance.
	In November 2013, we sold and issued 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share, for which we received proceeds of approximately $1,375,000 net of offering costs of approximately $125,000.  In connection with this financing, we issued warrants for the purchase of up to 120,000 shares of our common stock to placement agents. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 per share and expire five years from issuance.

Stock Options and Warrants	'
	Note 11 -  Stock Options and Warrants
	On July 1, 2013, our Board of Directors adopted and approved the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.  The plan authorizes us to grant non-qualified stock options and restricted stock purchase rights to purchase up to 14,000,000 shares of our common stock with vesting to employees (including officers) and other service providers.  At December 31, 2013, 5,090,000 shares were available for future grants and total unrecognized deferred stock compensation expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting periods of 3.9 years for outstanding grants was $6,261,000 million.
	The fair value of option awards is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.
	Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by us.  The following table presents the weighted-average grant date assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options and stock appreciation rights granted.
			December 31,				December 31,
			2013				2012
	Expected volatility			73.5	%			77	%
	Dividend yield			0	%			0	%
	Risk-free interest rate			1.26	%			0.33	%
	Expected life (in years)			6.64				5
	Expected volatility represents the estimated volatility of the shares over the expected life of the options.  We have estimated the expected volatility based on the weighted-average historical volatilities of a pool of public companies that are comparable to Ener-Core.
	We use an expected dividend yield of zero since no dividends are expected to be paid.  The risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected life of the option is derived from the U.S. treasury interest rates in effect at the date of grant.  The expected option life represents the period of time the option is expected to be outstanding.  The simplified method is used to estimate the term since we do not have sufficient exercise history to calculate the expected life of the options.
	Stock-based compensation expense is recorded only for those awards expected to vest.  Currently, the forfeiture rate is zero.  The rate is adjusted if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates in order to recognize compensation cost only for those awards that actually vest.  If factors change and different assumptions are employed in future periods, the share-based compensation expense may differ from that recognized in previous periods.
	Stock-based award activity was as follows:

	The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of options granted to employees during the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, was $0.87 and $0.087, respectively.
	The options granted have a contract term ranging between five and seven years.  Options granted prior to November 2013 vest over a  2.8 to 3 year period, with 33% of the options vesting 3 to 6 months after grant and the remainder ratably over the vesting term.  Options granted after November 2013 vest over a four year period, with 25% vesting after one year and the remainder ratably over the remaining three years.

	All 3,220,735 of the stock options outstanding at December 31, 2012 were exercised in the first quarter of 2013, resulting in proceeds of approximately $2,000.  These stock options were exercised prior to vesting and all unvested options are subject to repurchase rights.  Under the terms of the stock option plan, we repurchased 76,608 shares from an employee for $77 during the year ended December 31, 2013 and these were returned to the pool of shares eligible to be issued under the stock option plan.
	Stock based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2013, the period from November 12, 2012 through December 31, 2012 (Successor) and the period from January 1, 2012 through November 11, 2012 (Predecessor) was $1,729,000, $0 and $380,000, respectively.
	Warrants
	From time to time, we issue warrants to purchase shares of our common stock to investors, note holders and to non-employees for services rendered or to be rendered in the future.  There were warrants for the purchase of up to 631,087 shares of our common stock granted during 2013 in connection with our common stock offerings (see Note 10).  No warrants were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2013.  The following table provides a reconciliation of the warrant activity for the year ended December 31, 2013:

	Income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2013, the period from November 12  to December 31, 2012 (Successor), and the period from January 1 to November 11, 2012 (Predecessor) consists of the following:

	Due to net losses, effective tax rate for the periods presented was 0%.
	Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  The valuation allowance increased by $3.9 million from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2013.

	Net deferred tax assets	$	—		$	—
	A significant component of our deferred tax assets consisted of net operating loss carry-forwards (for the successor period).  We have evaluated the available evidence supporting the realization of our deferred tax assets, including the amount and timing of future taxable income, and have determined it is more likely than not that the assets will not be fully realized and a full valuation allowance is necessary as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.  As of December 31, 2013, we have federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $8.3 million and $7.9 million, respectively, which expire through 2032.  The utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards may be subject to limitations under provision of the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar state provisions.
	We follow ASC 740 related to accounting for uncertain tax positions, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements, uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  Under this provision, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. Tax benefits of an uncertain tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained based on technical merits.  We did not have any uncertain income tax position as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

	Notes Payable and Advances
	In January 2013, we borrowed $250,000 from a stockholder under a secured convertible note payable that was due at the earliest of February 28, 2013, or upon completion of a $1,000,000 financing event.  The note accrued interest at the rate of 12% and was convertible at the lender’s option into common stock at 85% of the price of a future financing or $3.6056 per share.  The note and accrued interest were repaid using funds from the March 2013 $260,000 convertible note payable.  The note was secured by our intangible assets.
	In March 2013, we borrowed $260,000 from a stockholder under a note payable that was due March 28, 2014, or earlier, upon completion of the merger.  The note accrued interest at the rate of 12% and was convertible at the lender’s option into common stock at $0.75 per share.  The note was subsequently converted in April 2013 as described in Note 10.  As the note was outstanding less than one month, no interest was due to the lender.
	In March 2013, a stockholder advanced us a total of $411,000 for operating capital.  The advance did not bear interest and was due on demand.  In April 2013, the advances were converted into our common stock at $0.75 per share at the stockholders’ election, as described in Note 10.
	In June 2013, we borrowed $100,000 from each of three individual stockholders under notes payable that were due December 31, 2013, or earlier, upon completion of the merger.  The notes accrued interest at the rate of 8% and are convertible at the lender’s option into common stock at $0.75 per share. On July 1, 2013, $100,000 was converted into shares of common stock in the merger-related private placement and $200,025, which included $25 of accrued interest, was repaid at the closing of the Merger.
	There were a number of Parent debt instruments issued in 2012 with our significant shareholders, who are related parties.  All assets of the Parent were held as collateral as part of the debt instruments.  Under the terms of the Restructuring Agreement dated November 12, 2012, all debt was converted to equity and all collateral was released from encumbrance without recourse.
	Predecessor recorded allocated related party interest expense related to the Parent’s debt of $1,031,000 for the period from January 1, 2012 through November 11, 2012 (Predecessor).  The allocation of interest expense was based on net loss of the Predecessor compared to the aggregate net income loss of the Parent.
	Successor related party interest expense was $10,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and none for the period from November 12, 2012 through December 31, 2012.
	Revenue
	During 2013, we recorded $9,000 in revenue associated with providing engineering services to Professional Energy Solutions which is owned by our VP of Engineering.  Costs associated with these revenues totaled $6,000.

	We may become a party to litigation in the normal course of business.  We accrue for open claims based on our historical experience and available insurance coverage.  In the opinion of management, there are no legal matters involving us that would have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
	EECT Agreement
	On December 31, 2012, we entered into a Master Purchase and Resale Agreement (“MPRSA”) with EECT. As part of this agreement, EECT is committed to buy a certain number of the FP250 and related optional equipment in order to maintain exclusivity in the region.  The pricing for the first unit was $760,000 and subsequent units will be sold at a higher price than the first unit.  In accordance with the MPRSA, EECT placed a Purchase Order (“PO”) with us on December 31, 2012, for the purchase on the first unit at $760,000.  The order was conditional on the issuance of an irrevocable letter of credit to us, according to the terms of the PO.  Such irrevocable letter of credit was issued on March 1, 2013, in the amount of 533,000 Euros, and we have acknowledged the acceptance of the PO on the same date.  On November 14, 2013, we shipped the FP250 and on December 24, 2013, we received the proceeds from the letter of credit.
	Lease
	We lease our office facility, research and development facility and equipment under operating leases, which for the most part, are renewable.   The leases also provide that we pay insurance and taxes.

	2017		3,000
	2018		2,000
		$	986,000
	Minimum rent payments under operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the Lease.  Rent expense, net of sublease income, was $211,000, $18,000 and $79,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, the period from November 12, 2012 through December 31, 2012 (Successor) and the period from January 1, 2012 through November 11, 2012 (Predecessor), respectively.
	Our current headquarters is located at 9400 Toledo Way, Irvine, California 92618.  The property consists of a mixed use commercial office, production, and warehouse facility of 32,649 square feet.  Effective August 1, 2013, we assumed this lease (the “Lease”).  The Lease has a remaining term of 39 months and expires December 31, 2016.  The monthly expense rent is $25,285 and increases on an annual basis.  In September 2013, we began subleasing a certain portion of this property to a third party on a month to month basis at a rate of $720 per month.  In addition, we lease space from the Regents of the University of California, Irvine, for the installation and demonstration of the FP250 equipment.  The lease expires on April 1, 2015 and the monthly payment is $7,780.  The university will provide certain goods and services including certain research and development services.
	We also finalized a Sublease Agreement with FEES, effective August 1, 2013 through October 1, 2013, (the “Sublease”), whereby FEES is temporarily subleasing 6,000 square feet of the property for warehousing, storage and/or office purposes for a monthly rent of $3,300.  Under the Sublease, FEES assigned to us its initial security deposit under the Lease of $27,630.

	April 2014 Private Placement
	On April 16, 2014, we closed a securities purchase agreement (the “April 2014 SPA”), with five institutional and accredited investors.  Pursuant to the terms of the April 2014 SPA, we issued and sold to these investors our senior secured convertible notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $4,575,000 (the “Notes”), and warrants to purchase up to 4,097,015 shares of our common stock (the “Warrants”), on the terms set forth below (the “April 2014 Private Placement”).
	The Notes mature 18 months from their issuance and were purchased for $4,003,125 in the aggregate.  The Notes bear an effective annual interest of 8.61%, which increases to 15% if there is an event of default (as defined in the Notes).  The initial conversion price of the Notes is $0.67 per share (the “Conversion Price”).  Beginning on July 1, 2014, we will pay to the Note holder an amount equal to (i) one-sixteenth (1/16th) of the original principal amount of the Note (or the principal outstanding on such date, if less) plus (ii) the accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such principal plus (iii) the accrued and unpaid late charge (if any) with respect to such principal and interest (each, an “Installment Amount”). The Holder has the ability to defer such monthly payment s in its sole discretion.  Up to four times prior to maturity of the Notes, each holder may accelerate payment of the sum of the following: (a) the Installment Amount, (b) any Installment Amount which payment such Note holder previously deferred, and (c) any accrued and unpaid interest and late charges, if any; provided, however, that any such accelerated amount shall not be greater than two times the amount set forth in clause (a) above. Each monthly payment may be made in cash, in shares of our common stock, or in a combination of cash and shares of its common stock. Our ability to make such payments with shares of our common stock will be subject to the satisfaction of certain equity conditions.  Subject to the satisfaction of certain equity conditions, we may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes then outstanding at any time at 115% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed.
	The Warrants issued to the investors are immediately exercisable, have an initial exercise price of $0.78 per share (the “Exercise Price”) and expire on the 60-month anniversary of their initial issuance.  If we sell or issue shares of Common Stock at less than the then applicable exercise price (subject to certain exceptions), then the exercise price shall be reduced to the price of such dilutive issuance.
	In connection with the sale of the Notes and the Warrants, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the “April 2014 RRA”) to register 135% of the shares issuable under the Notes and the Warrants.  In addition, we entered into a pledge and security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) granting security interest of all of our personal property to the collateral agent for the investors (the “Collateral Agent”), as well as a special deposit account control agreement (the “Control Agreement”) granting the collateral agent control of the control account established to hold a portion of the proceeds from the investors (the “Control Account”).
	We received gross proceeds of $4 million, less transaction expenses of approximately $250,000, of which $2.3 was million placed in a control account pursuant the Control Agreement.
	Going Concern
	On April 16, 2014, we closed a April 2014 Private Placement of $4.6 million of senior secured financing (discussed above). We project that the net proceeds of $1.5 million received by us will continue to meet our working capital needs, general corporate purposes, and related obligations into the second quarter of 2014.  To the extent that the lender, at its sole option, releases funds from the Control Account, we will be able to meet our operating needs and obligations further into 2014.  As of April 25, 2014, our cash balance was $3.2 million of which $2.3 million is restricted to our usage and held in a Control Account.
	We will pursue raising additional debt or equity financing to fund our operations and product development.  If future funds are raised through issuance of stock or debt, these securities could have rights, privileges, or preferences senior to those of common stock and debt covenants that could impose restrictions on the Company’s operations. The sale of additional equity securities or debt financing will likely result in additional dilution to the Company’s current shareholders.  We cannot make any assurances that any additional financing will be completed on a timely basis, on acceptable terms or at all.   Management’s inability to successfully complete any other financing will adversely impact our ability to continue as a going concern. Even if we are able to secure financing, we may still have to significantly reduce costs and delay projects, which would adversely affect our business, customers and program development.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ener-Core Power, Inc.  All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. All amounts are rounded to the nearest $000, except certain per share amounts within the footnotes.
	Prior to November 12, 2012, we did not operate as a separate legal entity. As a result the historical financial information for the cumulative period from January 1, 2012 through November 11, 2012, has been “carved out” of the financial statements of FlexEnergy.  Such financial information is limited to Ener-Core Power, Inc. related activities, assets and liabilities only.
	The carved-out financial information includes both direct and indirect expenses.  The historical direct expenses consist primarily of the various costs of direct operations.  Indirect costs represent expenses that were allocable to the business. The indirect expense allocations are based upon: (1) estimates of the percentage of time spent by FlexEnergy employees working on or supporting Ener-Core Power, Inc. business matters; and (2) allocations of various expenses associated with the employees, including salary, benefits, travel and entertainment, rent associated with the employees’ office space, accounting and other general and administrative expenses.
	Management believes the assumptions and allocations underlying the carve-out financial information are reasonable, although they are not necessarily indicative of the costs the Gradual Oxidizer Business would have incurred if it had operated on a standalone basis or as an entity independent of FlexEnergy. Accordingly, the financial position, operating results and cash flows may have been materially different if the Ener-Core Power, Inc. business had operated as a stand-alone entity during the periods presented.
	The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Reclassifications	'
	Reclassifications

Segments	'
	Segments
	We operate in one segment.  All of our operations are located domestically.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.  Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the allocation of operations during the carve-out periods, valuation of certain assets, useful lives, and carrying amounts of property and equipment, equity instruments, and share-based compensation; provision for contract losses; valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets; and exposure to warranty and other contingent liabilities.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Foreign Currency Adjustments	'
	Foreign Currency Adjustments
	Our functional currency for all operations worldwide is the U.S. dollar.  Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year. Income statement accounts are translated at average rates for the year.  At December 31, 2013 and 2012 we did not hold any foreign currency asset or liability amounts.  Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are reported as other income in the period they occurred.  During 2013, we recognized foreign currency transaction gain of $34,000 and none during 2012.  There have not been foreign currency translation gains or losses incurred in 2013, 2012 and for the period from January 1, 2014 through the date of this report.

Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	We maintain our non-interest bearing transactional cash accounts at financial institutions for which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) provides insurance coverage of up to $250,000.  For interest bearing cash accounts, from time to time, balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC.  We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk related to these deposits.  At December 31, 2013, we had $951,000 amounts in excess of the FDIC limit.
	We consider all highly liquid investments available for current use with an initial maturity of three months or less and are not restricted to be cash equivalents.  We invest our cash in short-term money market accounts.

	Restricted Cash
	Under a credit card processing agreement with a financial institution that was entered in 2013, we are required to maintain funds on deposit with the financial institution as collateral.  The amount of the deposit is at the discretion of the financial institution and as of December 31, 2013 was $50,000.
Accounts Receivable	'
	Accounts Receivable
	Our accounts receivable are typically from credit worthy customers or, for international customers are supported by guarantees or letters of credit.  For those customers to whom we extend credit, we perform periodic evaluations of our customers and maintain allowances for potential credit losses as deemed necessary.  We generally do not require collateral to secure accounts receivable.  We have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable.  We periodically review our accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt.  Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
	At December 31, 2013 and 2012, we did not have any allowance for doubtful accounts.  Although we expect to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the recorded amounts.
	As of December 31, 2013, one customer accounted for 100% of total accounts receivable.  There was no accounts receivable at December 31, 2012.  Two customers accounted for 100% of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013.  One customer accounted for 100% of net revenues for the period from November 12, 2012 through December 31, 2012.  There were no revenues for the period from January 1, 2012 through November 11, 2012 (Predecessor).
Accounts Payable	'
	Accounts Payable
	As of December 31, 2013, two vendors accounted for approximately 48% of total accounts payable.  As of December 31, 2012, two vendors accounted for 66% of total accounts payable.  These were the only vendors that individually accounted for more than 10% of accounts payable.  Three vendors accounted for approximately 65% of purchases for the year ended December 31, 2013.  No vendors accounted for more than 10% of purchases for the period from November 12, 2012 through December 31, 2012 (Successor) and one vendor accounted for 72% of purchases for the period from January 1, 2012 through November 11, 2012 (Predecessor).  These vendors provided commonly available services and we do not anticipate that a loss of these vendors will impact our results of operations.
Inventories	'
	Inventories
	Inventories, which consist of raw materials, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined by the average-cost method, which approximates the first-in, first-out method.  At each balance sheet date, we evaluate our ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence.  This evaluation primarily includes an analysis of forecasted demand in relation to the inventory on hand, among consideration of other factors.  Based upon the evaluation, provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values.  Once established, write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the respective inventories.  At December 31, 2013, we did not have a reserve for slow-moving obsolete inventory.  We had no inventory at December 31, 2012.
Costs in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts	'
	Costs in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts
	Costs in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets represents accumulation of costs for labor, materials, overhead and other costs that have been incurred. These costs will be recognized as costs of goods sold when the contract is considered complete in accordance with the completed-contract method.
Property and Equipment	'
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are stated at cost, and are being depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to ten years. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed.  At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts.  Gains or losses from retirements or sales are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.
Deposits	'
	Deposits
	Deposits primarily consist of amounts incurred or paid in advance of the receipt of fixed assets or are deposits for rent and insurance.
Deferred Rent	'
	Deferred Rent
	We record deferred rent expense, which represents the temporary differences between the reporting of rental expense on the financial statements and the actual amounts remitted to the landlord. The deferred rent portion of lease agreements are leasing inducements provided by the landlord. Also, tenant improvement allowances provided are recorded as a deferred rent liability and recognized ratably as a reduction to rent expense over the lease term.
Intangible Assets	'
	Intangible Assets
	We amortize our intangible assets with finite lives over their estimated useful lives.  See Note 6 for additional details regarding the components and estimated useful lives of intangible assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	'
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	We account for our long-lived assets in accordance with the accounting standards which require that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate.  We consider the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable based upon its review of the following events or changes in circumstances: the asset’s ability to continue to generate income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods; loss of legal ownership or title to the assets; significant changes in our strategic business objectives and utilization of the asset; or significant negative industry or economic trends.  An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset are less than its carrying amount.  As of November 11, 2012, we performed an annual review of the FP 250 Beta development test unit fixed asset, to assess potential impairment, at which time management deemed the asset to be partially impaired.  As a result, we expensed $329,000 to impairment of long-lived assets.  As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we do not believe there have been any other impairments of our long-lived assets.  There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for our products will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and capital lease liabilities.  The carrying amounts of the financial instruments are reasonable estimates of their fair values due to their short-term nature or proximity to market rates for similar debt.
	We determine the fair value of our financial instruments based on a three-level hierarchy established for fair value measurements under which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of observable or unobservable inputs.  Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect management’s market assumptions.  This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.  These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:
		·	Level 1: Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Currently, we do not have any items classified as Level 1.
		·	Level 2: Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Funds maintained in our money market account are classified as Level 2.
		·	Level 3: Valuations based on inputs that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable and involve management judgment (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). Currently, we do not have any items classified as Level 3.
	If the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, a financial security’s hierarchy level is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	We generate revenue from the sale of our clean power energy systems and from consulting services. Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, product delivery and acceptance have occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonable assured.  Amounts billed to clients for shipping and handling are classified as sales of product with related costs incurred included in cost of sales.
	Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenue is recorded.  We defer any revenue for which the services have not been performed or is subject to refund until such time that we and our customer jointly determine that the services have been performed or no refund will be required.
	Revenues under long-term construction contracts are generally recognized using the completed-contract method of accounting.  Long-term construction-type contracts for which reasonably dependable estimates cannot be made or for which inherent hazards make estimates difficult are accounted for under the completed-contract method. Revenues under the completed-contract method are recognized upon substantial completion – that is acceptance by the customer, compliance with performance specifications demonstrated in a factory acceptance test or similar event.  Accordingly, during the period of contract performance, billings and costs are accumulated on the balance sheet, but no profit or income is recorded before completion or substantial completion of the work.  Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized in full in the period in which losses become probable and estimable.  Changes in estimate of profit or loss on contracts are included in earnings on a cumulative basis in the period the estimate is changed.  We have  deferred all amounts received on our contract with Efficient Energy Conversion Turbo Machinery, B.V. (“EECT”) until the contract is substantially complete, at which time all advanced payments received on the contract ($701,000), will be recorded as revenue.  As of December 31, 2013, we had a provision for contract loss of approximately $100,000 related to our contract with EECT.  The provision was included in cost of goods sold at December 31, 2013.
Southern Research Contract	'
	Southern Research Contract
	In April 2009, we entered into an initial contract with Southern Research Institute (“SRI”) to perform all detailed design, fabrication and site integration of installing a Turbine/Thermal Oxidizer demonstration unit.  The scope of work also required us to commission and start up the demonstration unit including operator and maintenance training.  In January of 2010, we and SRI amended the contract to a fixed price contract value at $1,227,000, which required us to provide two 200kw Flex Powerstations (“Turbine 1” and “Turbine 2,” respectively) to be installed at two Department of Defense locations in the United States.  In addition, the contract, as amended, required us to provide field integration, basic operator and maintenance training including on-site support for the first year of operation and also to maintain, operate and train operators of the equipment.  We delivered Turbine 1 and installed the equipment in November 2011 and completed the operations and training phase in November 2012.  The third amendment to the contract provided for us to deliver a second Turbine/Thermal Oxidizer unit and upgrade the engine of Turbine 1.  The contract required the customer to identify a site for the second unit by December 31, 2012.  However, a suitable site was not selected and the customer cancelled its order for the second unit.  The SRI contract has been accounted for in accordance with the completed-contract method.  We deferred all amounts received on this contract for Turbine 1 and Turbine 2 until the contract was substantially completed on December 31, 2012, at which time all advanced payments received on the contract ($991,000) was recorded as revenue and the remaining accumulated deferred costs of $991,000 were recorded as cost of goods sold in the period from November 12 through December 31, 2012 (Successor).
Research and Development Costs	'
	Research and Development Costs
	Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  Research and development was $2.3 million, $0.1 million and $2.3 million, for the year ended December 31, 2013, the period from November 12, 2012 through December 31, 2012 (Successor) and the period from January 1, 2012 through November 11, 2012 (Predecessor), respectively.
Share-Based Compensation	'
	Share-Based Compensation
	We maintain a stock option plan (see Note 11) and record expenses attributable to the stock option plan. We amortize share-based compensation from the date of grant on a straight-line basis over the requisite service (vesting) period for the entire award.
	We account for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services at fair value.  The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant’s or vendor’s performance is complete.  In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.
	In accordance with the accounting standards, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor’s balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes.  Accordingly, we record the fair value of the fully vested, non-forfeitable common stock issued for future consulting services as prepaid expense in our consolidated balance sheets.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	We account for income taxes under the provisions of the accounting standards.  Under the accounting standards, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such asset will not be realized through future operations.
	The accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits.  We recognize any uncertain income tax positions on income tax returns at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority.  An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.  As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and November 11, 2012, there were no unrecognized tax benefits included in the consolidated balance sheet that would, if recognized, affect the effective tax rate.  Our practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.  We had no accrual for interest or penalties on our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and November 11, 2012, respectively and have not recognized interest and/or penalties in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, the period from November 12, 2012 through December 31, 2012 and the period from January 1, 2012 through November 11, 2012.
	We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions.  Our tax year for 2012 is subject to examination by the taxing authorities.
	We do not foresee material changes to our gross uncertain income tax position liability within the next twelve months.
Earnings (Loss) per Share	'
	Earnings (Loss) per Share
	Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares assumed to be outstanding during the period of computation.  Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.  Options and warrants to purchase approximately 9.5 million and 3.2 million shares of common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2013 and 2012,  respectively, but were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share due to the anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share.  There were no options or warrants outstanding at November 11, 2012.

	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	In August 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” that sets forth circumstances in which an unrecognized tax benefit, generally reflecting the difference between a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a company’s income tax return and the benefit recognized on its financial statements, should be presented in the company’s financial statements as a liability rather than as a reduction of a deferred tax asset.  The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted.  The adoption of these provisions is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
