A new hybrid engine: the solutions to the emissions of greenhouse gases?

Israel's Newton Propulsion Technology has found a way to make a traditional craft better in terms of emissions of greenhouse gases.

Based on research of Ben-Gurion University, the company has built a hybrid engine from two machines currently in use: an internal combustion engine, which is found in cars and a gas turbine, used in reactors airplanes. Newton, who called his discovery RotoRom, research now collaborators.

The CEO of the company, Guy Roma, said: "there is a growing demand for clean energy. All industrial battle to achieve the new regulations and therefore should be interested." With its prototype to prove this concept, Guy Rom explains that the engine RotoRom may agree to vehicles of 170 horses of power, making them more efficient and less polluting. The concept may also apply to small factories, trucks, professional tools and yachts.

The special engine Newton is to develop hybrid that can easily adapt to existing infrastructure without having to combine an engine and a fuel alternative. This is particularly suited to companies who need to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases without having to invest in new equipment.

Newton Propulsion Technology:

Develops a new engine platform called RotoRom which is a "volumetric - flow engine" and is basically a hybrid of the "gas turbine" and of the volumetric internal combustion engine. The RotoRom technology is highly applicable and achieves advantages in performance as thermal efficiency, power to weight and size ratio, manufacturing and maintenance costs. The RotoRom system is a built-in multi-fuel system, mainly suitable for the usage of Bio & heavy fuels.

In the Rotorom engine, fuel burns inside a sealed chamber, which has the ability to expand. Rather than pushing on a piston, the chamber expands while rotating, and this movement creates power. Remaining pressure can be released via a turbine, which then powers a compressor.

Fuel combustion is continuous, and the engine can run on any fuel type, even green fuels such as biodiesel.

Founded in 2003, and based in Katzrin in the Golan Heights, Newton Propulsion has received about $1 million in funding from the Meytag Incubator. The company's business model is based on licensing, consulting, joint R&D and customized applications.
