BluWāv's experience with in-wheel hub motors, in collaboration with Raytheon and Tucson Embedded Systems, has led to the design and development of a complete electric drive and energy storage system for the Raytheon BluWāv Hy-DRA, a purpose built war fighting all-terrain vehicle for the Special Operations...

In joint development with a Raytheon, BluWāv Systems developed a series hybrid system consisting of four in-wheel hub motors and battery system. The Hy-DRA (Hybrid-Defense Recon Assault) vehicle can be powered by an on-vehicle or removable generator set, fuel cell and hydrogen storage system, or a large...

Cyclone’s Green Revolution Engine represents true “thinking outside the box.” This is because it is not a new variation of the internal combustion engine, but rather, a highly advanced External Combustion Engine. Unlike IC engines, the Cyclone engine uses an external combustion chamber to heat a separate...

The Cyclone Waste Heat Engine (WHE) is a self-starting engine that operates in a low pressure, low temperature range. This feature allows the engine to run on waste heat emanating from an external source, such as the exhaust from an internal (or external) combustion engine, or the direct burning of...

As Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV), and Electric Vehicles (EV) continue to gain acceptance as a viable alternative to gasoline-powered vehicles, it is clear that HEVs will need light, compact, high-powered, high-capacity batteries to power their needs. Similarly...

Current research in the area of biofuels includes a major R&D program with Solix Biofuels and the Engines and Energy Conversion Lab to develop photobioreactors for the mass production of algae as a biodiesel feedstock. Designing and building a Photobioreactor (PBR) that produces oil at a competitive...

The vision of Solix Biofuels is to unlock the complex secrets of one of the simplest organisms on Earth, microalgae, to create a commercially viable biofuel that will play a vital role in solving climate change and petroleum scarcity, without competing with global food supply. [Video]

Colorado State's EECL is actively working with Envirofit International to design low cost, high performance cookstoves for the developing world. Indoor air pollution from cookstoves causes over 1.5 million premature deaths each year. Through support from the Shell Foundation, the Engines and Energy...

The Engines and Energy Conversion Laboratory at Colorado State University has a 15 year history in developing products which improve engine efficiency and reduce harmful emissions from engines as small as 1 hp to as large as 2500 hp. As the quest for alternative fuels continues, new sources of gaseous...
