A coalition of major tech companies—among them Google and Tesla—is forming a group called Utilize to tackle rising U.S. energy costs driven by the rapid expansion of AI data centers. Their central argument is that the national grid is being pushed harder than ever, yet still operates far below its true capacity most of the time.
We are actively working on a full scale UniMod hydraulic engine. We have recently incorporated an electronic data collection and control system. Progress continues and we are excited to bring the UniMod to the next level of development.
Did you know that hydraulic drive, although it sounds modern, has roots in the 19th century? This technology revolutionized machines and vehicles, delivering unmatched power and control. But why isn’t it so common today? In this video, you’ll discover how it works, its unique advantages, and why it’s still key for certain trucks and machinery.
This specially designed shed will house UniMod modules in discrete locations protecting the equipment from the natural elements. The complete UniMod energy system will be isolated away from living and working spaces which provides a sound barrier and an increased safety factor.
Welcome to unimod engines! In the fall of 1996 Paul Borner was given a revelation. This gave birth to the crossarm concept, which overcame balancing and power output problems of a typical free piston type engine.
The unimod engine is the answer to long overdue update. This system uses proven principles and tried and tested
materials and components in a new compact and radically innovative configuration to create efficient engines for vehicles and efficient power generation for facilities.
The free piston engine combines those of the two stroke diesel and the gas turbine. This documentary, from 1960, recalls the basic principles of the two-stroke engine and the gas turbine and then traces the development of the free piston engine from these two as a machine for producing hot, compressed gas.
Could Toyota’s hydrogen engine save combustion by converting engines?
Testing continues on the mountain. All the mechanical components are holding up. We need to gather data now so we can continue development.
Not all gasoline engines need spark plugs to ignite their fuel. In a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) cycle, a mixture of air, spark and fuel come together over the course of four strokes to create power and move a vehicle forward.
At our shop in the Catskills the Uni-Mod engine is warming up. We are soon going to introduce fuel, then we will see what this crankless opposed piston engine can really put out.
United Parcel Service (UPS) has begun converting 50 of its gasoline-engine delivery trucks in the Chicago-metro area to hydraulic-hybrid propulsion. The first converted vehicles recently entered service equipped with Lightning Hybrids’ hydraulic hybrid system featuring an energy recovery system (ERS).
There is probably no better chronicler into the full depth of American ingenuity than YouTube. Here one finds not just computer models for all manner of esoteric combustion engine designs, but actual working prototypes of them, often built by individuals. Big companies can also innovate here sometimes. A new free piston engine linear generator (FPEG) from Toyota Central in Maine is a case in point.
Principles of hydraulics explained, centering on the value for safety & comfort of hydraulic brakes.
What if your car could get four or five times the gas mileage it gets now?
Carmen’s Inertial Storage Transmission is the key to greater car mileage.
