Overview of Revetec
REVETEC is an engine design
company and developer of the “Controlled Combustion
Engine” (CCE). The CCE is an internal combustion engine
that is smaller lighter, cleaner and produces higher
torque due to higher mechanical transfer than equivalent
conventional engines. It is cheaper to manufacture.
Patented across key markets globally, Revetec’s
break-through design has a higher bottom-end mechanical
advantage over equivalent conventional engine. This in
turn increases the overall engine efficiency making the
engine significantly more fuel-efficient than a
conventional engine, with increased power/torque ratios.
The advantages of Revetec’s engine technology can be
applied to most internal and external combustion engines
for use in motor vehicles, trucks, buses, motorcycles,
pumps and generators, light aircraft engines, diesel and
marine engines.
See “Development / Interest in Manufacture or
Development” for opportunities to access Revetec’s
patented engine technology.
The engine has an increase in torque which is what
drives the vehicle. It follows that the earlier in RPM
high
torque is achieved, and the longer it is available, the more
efficient the engine is – resulting in savings in fuel
consumption and fewer emissions. This Patented design
increases the mechanical advantage of an engines bottom
end from approx. 64% (conventional) to an amazing 87%+.
This increases the total thermal efficiency of a
conventional engine.
The technology can be applied to most internal and
external combustion engines with greater efficiency.
Namely, motor cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, pumps
and generators, light aircraft engines and marine
engines. The CCE engine is also smaller, lighter and
cheap to manufacture. These advantages also mean the CCE
design is ideally placed to become a key component in
automotive Hybrid Electric Systems. Revetec is
commencing the marketing phase for the licensing of its
technology of a very powerful and fuel-efficient engine
at a most crucial time in the combustion engine
industry.
This is a period of convergence of important worldwide
trade issues which, we expect, will create an impetus
for the adoption of our technology. In our view, with
the increase of the price of oil there will be consumer
pressure for car manufacturers to adopt engines which
consume less fuel. Car companies worldwide, including
the most successful ones, are experiencing the strains
of fierce competition from mainland Chinese car
companies and are looking for means and ways to stem
their losses and to increase profitability. Closing
factories and shedding thousands of employees is only
one of the strategies currently being adopted.
We predict that the car companies will be looking for
new technologies to improve their business. Perhaps the
most important factor, in the Directors’ view, is both
China’s and India’s entry into the World Trade
Organisation. Chinese and Indian motor vehicle
manufacturers are now required to have their own engine
and to stop the practice of reverse engineering in order
to comply with international trading laws. To this end,
car companies in both countries have already expressed
interest in adopting our technology.
The environmental issue is becoming critical to
combustion engine producers. Tough worldwide emission
specifications are now in place in both China and India.
Car manufacturers are seeking an efficient engine to
replace their existing engines, as these engines
currently do not comply with the tough emission
standards in those countries. Legislative change is also
creating opportunities for our engine in the United
States of America. With the US Environment Protection
Agency indicating that it will phase out the use of
aviation gas in the foreseeable future and replacing it
with jet fuel (kerosene), which is already available in
most airports, there is urgency for a lightweight
compression/ignition type engine to replace the existing
light aircraft engine.
Our engine is adaptable for use with this fuel type and
the development of such an engine will be a key focus of
Revetec. Revetec has completed its design on its
prototype, which could now be adapted by our customers
to meet their specific requirements. Revetec’s business
model is simple – it proposes to license its
technologies to combustion engine producers worldwide,
which means that Revetec can earn revenue without the
risks associated with other companies where high
overheads, employee issues and financial controls are
major issues for growing international companies.
