After proving supersonic rotational speeds (918mph) with our previous campaign success and distributing the supersonic capable miniature machines to 5 different countries, we are back with our next offering!

We are excited to introduce our innovative multi-fuel rotary engine generator, a groundbreaking technology designed to address the growing need for cleaner, more efficient energy solutions.

.

Our system can operate on a wide variety of fuels, offering unprecedented flexibility and adaptability, while delivering outstanding performance and reducing environmental impact.

The Problem:

Current engines and generators face significant challenges in terms of efficiency, fuel limitations, and environmental impact. Traditional combustion engines often operate at suboptimal efficiency levels, wasting energy and producing harmful emissions. Additionally, many engines are designed to run on a single fuel type, which can be problematic in times of fuel scarcity or fluctuating fuel prices.

The Solution:

Our multi-fuel rotary engine generator is a game changer in the energy landscape. By incorporating a unique rotor set and pulse jet engine that work in sequence, we have developed a highly efficient rotary engine capable of operating on multiple fuel types. This versatility reduces our reliance on a single fuel source and allows for more sustainable and cost effective energy production. Our engine’s innovative design not only increases efficiency but also minimizes emissions, contributing to a greener future.

Where Are We Now?

So far we have built several proof of concept machines such as a pulse jet engine with no moving parts. We have built and destruction tested many rotary engines beyond the speed of sound (768mph). We have developed an in house rotor balancing machine and various contact free bearings.

Kickstarter Aim:

We want to bring together all of our current development and understanding to build a new precision 5″ rotor set and a metal casing that combines the pulse jet engine and the rotary engine, based on 4.5 years of research and development. This is the perfect size to enable scalability and modular expansion. The data gathered from our Kickstarter proof of concept will provide the design and roadmap for a production model, which we plan to offer in Q1 2024.

What Are The Advantages Of Pulse Jet Engines?

  • Have a simpler design than piston engines, which makes them easier to manufacture, maintain and repair.
  • Lighter than piston engines of equivalent power output, which can be an advantage in applications where weight is a concern, such as aviation or portable power generation.
  • High power to weight ratio, which can be advantageous in applications where power density is important.
  • Fewer moving parts than piston engines, which means they have less friction and wear, resulting in longer lifespan and reduced maintenance costs.
  • High thermal efficiency, which means they can convert more of the fuel’s energy into useful work. This results in lower fuel consumption and lower emissions compared to piston engines.

Off Grid Solution:

  • An off grid generator allows you to be self sufficient and generate your own electricity without relying on the power grid. This can be especially beneficial in remote areas where grid access is limited or unreliable. 
  • Generating your own electricity provides energy independence. You will be less vulnerable to power outages or price fluctuations in the electricity market. This can give you a greater sense of empowerment and control over your life.
  • Our off grid generator will be more cost effective than relying on grid power, especially in areas with high electricity prices or where extending the grid infrastructure is expensive.
  • Using our off grid generator will benefit the environment by producing lower emissions than traditional grid power sources.
  • Our portable or static off grid generator can be used in a variety of applications, from powering an off grid vehicle to providing electrical power for a home or business.
  • Our off grid generators can be designed to meet your specific energy needs, whether you need a small generator for occasional use or a larger system for constant power generation.
  • Our off grid generators can be designed with redundancy systems and backup power sources to ensure reliable operation, even in extreme conditions.
  • By generating your own power, you will improve your resilience to natural disasters, blackouts and other disruptions.

Technology Overview:

At the heart of our multi-fuel rotary engine generator is a cutting-edge rotor set, which works in tandem with a pulse jet engine. These components operate in a precisely coordinated sequence, allowing our engine to achieve exceptional RPM and efficiency levels. While we cannot disclose all the technical details of our proprietary technology, we can assure you that our system represents a significant leap forward in energy generation.

Development Stage and Roadmap:

We are currently in the advanced stages of developing our system, and with your support, we will create a fully functional proof of concept. Our development roadmap includes the following milestones:

  • Finalizing the system design (Q3 2023)
  • Building the proof of concept machine (Q3 2023)
  • Conducting extensive testing and optimization (Q4 2023)
  • Preparing for next campaign stage / mass production (Q1 2024)

Funding Goals:

Our funding goal is £30,000, which will be allocated as follows:

  • Workshop Rent & Utilities: £4,545
  • Engineering / Fabrication Costs: £10,000
  • Labour: £10,000
  • Kickstarter Fee £1,500
  • Payment Processing Fee £1,500
  • Buffer to Cover Any Miscalculations £2,455

Team:

Our team consists of experienced engineers, CAD designers, and entrepreneurs with a passion for sustainable energy solutions. Our diverse skill set and industry experience will ensure the successful development and implementation of our multi-fuel rotary engine generator.

Environmental commitments

Visit our Environmental Resources Center to learn how Kickstarter encourages sustainable practices.

Long-lasting design

We don’t follow the corporate planned obsolescence path. Our designs are aiming towards products that last a lifetime, are modular, require no lubricating oil and little to no servicing. Any rotors will be dynamically balanced to a very high tolerance which will ensure no vibration. Unwanted vibration is the killer of mechanical machines.

Reusability and recyclability

All the materials that will be used are recyclable. We have a minimalistic design approach to ensure less material waste.

Environmentally friendly factories

We work with trusted engineering companies with a proven track record, who manufacture high quality components.

One Response to “Revolution” – Powering a Sustainable Future

    1. Initiatives like this could really be the answer to many of our environmental problems. It would be brilliant if Aileen Getty, the multi-billionaire who sponsors Extinction Rebellion, and Dale Vince, the multi-millionaire sponsoring Just Stop Oil, could see their way to supporting genuine innovation and invention which, with the right funding, really could make a difference. It seems such investors and government arent really interested in potential solutions.
