March 7, 2007—The Scuderi Group has introduced what it calls the first-ever hybrid power generator technology. The company will begin licensing it for generator applications ranging from backyard power back ups to more industrial power-plant environments.
Recent studies show that Scuderi’s air-hybrid internal combustion engine technology can provide significantly increased efficiently levels while dramatically decreasing the level of toxic emissions, says the company.
The duty cycle of an electric generator is less stringent than a mobile application, such as an automotive vehicle. Electric generators run at narrower speed and load ranges, therefore the inherent advantages of the Scuderi Air-Hybrid Engine – faster flame speed, lower NOx, and higher efficiency – could be more advantageously tuned to meet these narrower conditions, notes the company.
The first air-hybrid engine prototypes are expected to be completed in 2007. This patented design represents the most significant breakthrough for internal combustion engines to come along in decades, an advance that takes on added significance given rising fuel prices and growing environmental concerns, says the company.
The Scuderi Group is an engine development company focused on improving the performance of the internal combustion engine. For more information, visit the Web site.
