- What exactly is the Natural Energy Engine™?
The Natural Energy Engine™ is a thermal hydraulic engine that is fueled solely by hot water. Think of a thermometer, when it heats up the liquid inside expands and when it cools down the liquid contracts. Put a piston on the end of the thermometer and alternately heat it up and cool it down. This will create mechanical energy from the motion of the piston. The Natural Energy Engine™ is somewhat more intricate, but, you get the picture.
- If its an engine when am I going to see The Natural Energy Engine™ in my car?
Not for a few years yet. We are focused on developing the NE Engine™ in other areas, such as electricity generation, desalination and air conditioning. (Click on the Technology button for more detail)
- How much pollution does The Natural Energy Engine™ emit?
None. There is no combustion within the engine and it doesn't require inefficient and polluting power stations to supply power for it like an electric motor. Its virtually silent as the moving parts are expanding and contracting liquid.
- Why the Oil Business as the first application?
Obviously there is a great need just now for the US to gain independence from foreign oil imports. The Natural Energy Engine™ can economically take oil out of the ground from previously dormant wells in an environmentally friendly manner. Like it or not oil is going to be a primary fuel for decades. The Natural Energy Engine™ will reduce our need for foreign oil, reduce the energy needed to extract the oil, reduce pollution in extracting the oil and increase employment.
