One of our goals was to determine if we could in fact double or triple an automobile's mileage using techniques similar to those used by high mileage carburetor experimenters & advocates. Even though we didn't achieve a drastic improvement in fuel economy, the experimentation proved essential to our developments in ultra-clean burner technology.

Now some of you may ask why we are concerned with ultra-clean combustion. Well, there are several good reasons. First of all, our main goal in working with boundary layer turbines is to replace the 100-year old I. C. piston gas and diesel engines with a new engine that delivers more power with less pollution, and a lower cost to produce & maintain.

As environmental scientists it is our responsibility to provide key solutions to the global pollution problems facing the entire world today, and to drive these solutions into widespread use before the near-sighted industrialists can completely destroy natural ecological systems that are now on their way down.

We've determined that no matter what you do to improve a gasoline or diesel piston engine, by nature they must pollute -- the basic chemistry and mathematics of their combustion cycles cannot be altered, or the engines simply would not work!

Since fuel cells will not be ready for widespread use for another 10-20 years, the only real solution to the global pollution problem is a low-cost disk-type turbine with improved efficiency and ultra-clean combustion.

We are actually working with two combustion models to fill all of the applications of motive power. One model uses pulse direct combustion and the other uses a closed-loop steam (or other vapor) cycle. Both systems have their good points and bad points, so both are viable solutions -- depending on the application.
