| Location: | Alabama, US | | Speaker: | Michael A. Wilson, Ph.D. | | Title: | CEO | | Primary Industry: | Energy | | Executive Summary: | TurbX Engine market disruptive competitive advantages support expectation of turbine market sales of $350 billion and piston engine market sales of $150 billion annually. These market advantages include the fuel efficiency advantages ( 25% to a factor of two), a factor of three smaller size, a factor of two lower weight, lower emissions, lower initial cost, lower operating cost, and longer life.. The open technical literature documents the extensive review by NASA Glenn and testing by Oak Ridge National Laboratory that confirms the theory, describes the TurbX performance projections as conservative and recommended the TurbX Atkinson Cycle engine as the MOST PROMISING CONCEPT FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. Twenty years of internally funded effort by TurbX have resulted in national and international patents, fabrication and testing of a compressorless 1:1 compression ratio prototype and the preliminary design of the 100 hp. Funded through research contracts and partnerships, aggressive early development of structures, materials and fabrication methodologies will support annual fabrication and testing of increasingly sophisticated prototypes leading to market entry in the fifth year after funding. Initial market entry will be a military application and the parallel civilian application. | | Venture is: | Seed Level |
