The objective of the Hybrid Electric Vehicle Experimentation and Assessment (HEVEA) research program is to develop Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Fuel Economy and performance Test Operating Procedures (TOP), determine the fuel economy benefits of HEV using quantifiable test data; develop and validate...

TARDEC, working alongside DRS Technologies, has designed and developed a highly efficient, mobile power source demonstrator – the XM1124 Hybrid Electric Humvee. The HE Humvee is an advanced series hybrid electric vehicle that houses an engine/generator as the prime power source, a high voltage battery...

An extremely lightweight opposed piston opposed cylinder (OPOC) engine has been developed under a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) program. FEV and Advanced Propulsion Technologies (APT) were asked by the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC...

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...

Global Embedded Technologies, Inc. (Global ET) is an electrical and software engineering firm dedicated to providing robust and configurable products that manage, control, and integrate power & energy devices and electrical loads. Information integration and control solutions provide operational...

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...

Just introduced, the Segway RMP 400 Mecanum, with omni-directional wheels allowing it to go sideways as well as forward and backwards, is designed for high mobility applications. Segway Robotic Mobility Platforms (RMP) takes the performance and engineering prowess demonstrated in the Segway Personal...
