Elaboration of the Features and Benefits of the FE
1) Combines mechanical principles from very old technologies, with modern materials and design.
2) Operates at Low Temperature, Low Pressures, Low RPM, Yet has High Torque (Shaft Power) at Low RPM
3) Low weight to Horse Power Ratio (an engine the size of two one-gallon containers, placed end-to-end, would run a
large truck. The FE would hardly be visible, in that it would be inside a heat shroud, which would be centered inside a compact Vapor Generator.)
4) Few moving parts, Simple to manufacture, simple to maintain & repair. These features are especially important if in an isolated area (oil rig or wilderness area), and an ‘overhaul’ is necessary. There would also be very little ‘down time’. Parts are designed purposely to provide ease of replacement without needing specialized tools.)
5) Low Friction, yet excellent Seal system, which ‘self-adjusts’ as the Engine heats up, or cools down. This feature provides for excellent sealing, even at zero rpm, thus enabling the proper containment of the working vapor at start-up.
6) The Engine can be designed to run at a constant rpm for electrical generation purposes. If “direct drive”, where the Engine is directly connected to a drive shaft or right next to a wheel, then the Engine is not turning when a vehicle is stopped. This feature alone saves on fuel consumption.
7) Feature to control the centripetal and centrifugal forces at the vane tip area, even at very high rotational speed. This feature allows the engine to be scaled up to the size of a 6 foot cube, yet the vanes function with minimal friction. (This size Engine could be used in hydro-electric plants.)
8) Wide range of Fuels, including use of Solar Heat, powered coal, Bunker Fuel, natural gas, Geo-thermal, Waste Heat from existing coal-powered Power Generation Plants
9) Yet very Low Pollutions because External Combustion, therefore Complete combustion; Can operate as External combustion, Chemical Reaction or Internal Combustion
10) Wide range of Applications such as: automobiles, Electrical Generation, Aviation, Marine, and Trains
Note: Can be made very large or small (scalability)
11) Can operate as a Compressor or Vacuum Pump by simply changing out one internal part
12) Operates as a Rotary Engine, thus does not waste energy by changing from up and down Piston motion, to rotary motion
(does not need a crankshaft, or a typical transmission)
13) Can Combine two or more “Heat Cycles” for maximum power output & thereby capture and use most of the ‘waste heat’
other systems would typically lose (Adiabatic Expansion of vapor)
14) Creates a type of “vapor Hydraulics” which further adds to the power out-put of the Engine
15) Can create Electricity INSIDE the Engine, & that electricity can be used either inside or outside The Engine.
The internally-produced electrical current is easily conducted to the outside of the Engine.
16) The electricity can then be used to produce hydrogen in a very simple and safe manner. The Hydrogen would then be
available to ‘turbo-charge’ the External Combustion Burner. This approach will reduce the consumption of
the primary fuel being used to run the Engine, and further reduce pollutants.
17) The FE is able to capture what would otherwise be parasitic or waste energy from inside the Engine itself. It is that
Energy which is captured and used to produce both electromagnetic and electrostatic energy inside the Engine. (There is an
additional proprietary power source within the Engine, which is able to further increase its over-all efficiencies (minimal cost.)
18) Bench Test Runs in 2006, on the FE-2 shown in the Videos, were extrapolated to be approximately 85% Turbine Efficiency. The highest turbine efficiency known of today is approximately 64%. The Bench Test results provided the
data for the design of the FE-4.
20) It is this unit which is ready for fabrication, and prototype field testing. (All sub-systems must also be properly designed in
order for the FE to achieve such an over-all high efficiency output of electrical energy.)
21) Changes Heat in a most efficient and effective manner, to Rotary Shaft Power, having a very High Torque (power), yet at very low engine rotating, turning speed (low RPM)
22) Dependable, safe, runs well in any climate, or weather conditions; few moving parts means less wear & costs
23) Can be designed for Marine application, where sea water is used for Steam, with the steam blown out the Exhaust of
the Engine, operating as an “underwater jet propulsion”, in addition to the Shaft Power
24) Low-temperature system, utilizing a proprietary Working Fluid with ‘low heat-of-evaporation’, yet lubricates
25) Very profitable for a manufacturer & Supplier, due to OEM replacement fluids, seals, yet provides tremendous savings to the Consumer: low-cost maintenance, fuel savings; Yet increased performance & power, but low pollution; can be easily
converted to Compressor or Vacuum Pump
