AESOP Institute (Sebastopol) is converting two conventional engines to run 24/7 on solar energy.
Both a Mitsubishi V6 and a small Briggs & Stratton engine are close to conversion. The small engine is being worked on in a lab in Cotati. The Mitsubishi engine is in a lab in the Seattle area.
The lead inventor (Ken Rauen, AESOP’s Chief Technical Officer) projects both prototypes are close to running.
These engines reflect improvements beyond the Proof-of-Concept (Ford and Kia) engines, converted to run without fuel, after a decade of work, by Chris Hunter in Alaska.
Ken Rauen - inventor of most of AESOP's engines – gave a presentation at the AAAS Meeting in San Diego. His talk was well received by the scientists present. (Scientific White Paper available upon request)
These engines will be validated at The Institute for Advanced Study in Austin. The Director has stated that substantial funding will be available once the tests are complete on either engine.
Both of these advanced prototype engines are key to a potential worldwide market.
AESOP Institute is seeking interim Bridge money to complete the prototypes. A total of $50,000 is sought – in tax deductible donations or Convertible Loans in any amount from $1,000 up.
