Moller International (OTCBB:MLER) has successfully tested its
Rotapower(R) rotary engine using a fuel composed of 70% ethanol and
30% water. The Rotapower engine is a key component in the future
deployment of the Company's volantor aircraft including the M200E and
M200G models (see www.moller.com), anticipated to enter the market in
2008. This fuel mixture had a number of remarkable advantages when
used as a volantor fuel including:
-- Reduced fire hazard since it is nearly incombustible outside
the engine.
-- Reduced emissions to well below the Super Ultra Low Emissions
Vehicle (SULEV) standard set by the California Air Resources
Board.
-- Improved fuel consumption through the use of a higher
compression ratio possible with the fuel's high octane rating.
-- Significantly increased engine power through the fuel's
cooling effect on the incoming fuel/air charge.
The Rotapower engine in the volantor and other applications is
able to achieve nearly emissions-free performance while producing
nearly two horsepower for every pound of engine weight. Only a turbine
engine can match this power to weight ratio, but at a cost that is
over twenty times higher ($25 per horsepower versus $500+ per
horsepower for this engine power range).
An engine with a high power to weight ratio and low cost is a
requirement for the volantor-type aircraft in development by the
Company.
