Turbine Truck Engines * China - to Capitalize on Burgeoning Personal Transportation Market

Deland,FL,USA -Marketwire/SyS Media -Aug. 19, 2009: - ... To meet the demand of manufacturers for fuel efficient/low emission engines, China's Aerospace Machinery and Electric Equipment Co. Ltd. (AMEC) is collaborating with Turbine Truck Engines, a United States technology company, to develop the patented Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine engine (DCGT)... Once developed, AMEC intends to produce 150 and 450 horsepower versions of the engine, and the companies expect each engine model will reduce fuel consumption by about one-third and dramatically reduce harmful emissions when compared to existing fossil-fuel burning engines...

Turbine Truck Engines * USA - Poised to revolutionize the engine market



Nevada,USA -Examiner, by Sterling Allan -August 4, 2009: -- The patented and tested Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine engine now in its 5th-generation is poised to revolutionize the heavy-duty truck engine market, costing about the same or perhaps less than other engines, while consuming around 30% less fuel and having much cleaner emissions... The cylinders in the DCGT don’t have pistons. Rather, the engine uses a near continuous spark to detonate the air/fuel mixture in each cylinder and it directs the force of the explosion to the turbine which spins a shaft equivalent to a car’s crankshaft... The TTE DCGT engine utilizes a unique Electromagnetic Isothermal Combustion (EIC) Process that produces complete combustion of fuel-oxidizer mixtures in cyclic detonations which minimizes unwanted NOx and CO emissions... The EIC Process enables the TTE DCGT engine to operate with blower air at low static pressure, negating the necessity of compressing and preheating fuel-oxidizer mixtures prior to combustion. By eliminating the compression of fuel-oxidizer mixtures, the TTE DCGT achieves higher thermal efficiencies in a simplified mechanical structure, and provides the following advantages over current diesel, gasoline and gas turbine engines...
