These numbers
do notinclude
engines used as power sources in automobiles, aircraft, construction
equipment, recreational vehicles, stationary applications, etc...
They also do not include
small engines that are used outside of the country – a
market which is obviously significantly larger.
From time to time, opportunities become
available for products that are significantly different from
those which have gone before them. These products have the potential
to forever change the way we look at our common, everyday experience.
We believe that the Oscillating
Piston Engine is one of these products that will, even
in the early stages, take a strong market position and have
a big impact on the evolution of the small engine market. In
addition, we are convinced that the Oscillating Piston Engine
will also help to reduce the environmental impact of small engines
as it is adapted to uses with new and blended fuels.
There are a lot of engines
out there that, for the most part, get the job
done. But as we know, there are several frustrating,
costly and well-known problems with the majority
of the combustion engines currently available
in the world.
These problems with standard
small engines include:
•
inefficient weight to power ratio
•
cumbersome water
cooling system which can lead to rust
•
complex friction movement causing
frequent wear and tear
•
expensive and time consuming maintenance
and repairs
•
not adaptable to a variety of
uses
•
release high percentage of toxic
and carcinogenic emissions causing environmental damage
ROTOBLOCK
has developed an engine that retains the strengths of
standard engines but exhibits unique characteristics
when compared to all other types of internal combustion
engines. These characteristics provide ROTOBLOCK’s
engine with specific competitive advantages over other
types of engines and address most areas considered a
challenge with conventional combustion engines.
•
is dramatically lighter –
up to 50% depending
upon specific application
•
has significantly
increased power to weight ratio
•
is simpler – to assemble,
to maintain and to repair
•
requires no valves and valve train
•
is not water
cooled
•
is adaptable to a wide variety
of sizes and uses
•
is easier to
maintain and repair – can be completely overhauled
in an afternoon with non-specialized hand tools.
•
In addition, because of its rotating
intake/output design, the ROTOBLOCK oscillating piston
releases significantly reduced emissions into the atmosphere
even with regular fuels.
The
ROTOBLOCK engine is highly adaptable for use with blended
fuels or hydrogen which increases its environmental
efficacy. The Oscillating
Piston Engine is the technology that bridges conventional
combustion engines with alternative power sources yet
to be developed.
The timing
for introducing this innovative engine is absolutely ideal.
Our industrialized society is continually searching for new
propulsion technologies that are more efficient and environmentally
sustainable; especially a power source that has the potential
to run on a variety of fuels, blended fuels, or hydrogen. Emerging
markets such as China and India have the most rapidly growing
economies in the world and with infrastructures that
are not fully developed, the ease of maintenance and repair
of the Oscillating Piston Engine will be a key advantage. The
competitive landscape of manufacturers is fierce and they are
continually searching for new engines which will satisfy the
emerging needs of both current and new markets.
ROTOBLOCKis offering a unique
opportunity that not only allows shareholders to share
financial rewards but also provides the satisfaction of
being instrumental in introducing a new and more efficient
technology to manufacturers with the potential of becoming
a household item and a legacy to the entrepreneurial spirit
in Canada and an innovative
addition to the new world market.
