HISTORY
Global Environmental Protection
A philosophy being adopted and echoed around the world, a complex
issue fsorcing government policy and political change.
The internal combustion engine, available and used around the world
and long recognized as a major contributor to atmospheric pollution
is now facing the demands of change.
In 1862 a French man, Mr. Beau de Roches, noted
the possibility of producing useable energy from the burning of fuel
in a device to be known as the internal combustion engine. It was believed
that to produce energy in the manner, four principal operating functions
would be required by any design configuration:
- Intake
- Compression
- Power
- Exhaust
In 1872 a German, Dr. Otto, developed the
Otto four stroke cycle engine based on Mr. Beau de Rochas original theories. In 134 years
the internal combustion engine has undergone no significant change
to the basic design configuration, most modifications have been made
to external components.
- Fuel Delivery
- Ignition
- Turbo Chargers
- Porting
In October 1993, US President Bill Clinton announced on world
wide media that the US government was to heavily subsidize a consortium
acting under a development mandate would within ten years and a budget
of up to one trillion dollars, produce a new design configuration
and prototypes to replace the existing internal combustion engines. World wide, the future is demanding change.
Over many years, large sums of money have been invested by manufacturers
around the world in search of increased engine out-put from smaller,
more efficient engine designs.
The lack of success of new engine design concepts to progress research
and development into a production engine demonstrates the technical
and engineering difficulties.
MARKET
The initial market selection for the OX2 engine will be suitably
diverse to enable the company to demonstrate to a wide range of industries
both the market and application potential of the OX2 engine.
In 134 years the internal combustion engine has gone from the theoretical
stage of one man to a world wide industry, producing in excess of one
hundred and fifty million new engines per year with annual earnings
in trillions of dollars.
The multi dimensional nature of the world's internal combustion engine
market makes the manufacturing of engines one of the world's largest
and most dynamic industries.
In 1996 all engines manufacturers have one issue in common, "The
Demand For Change", Environmental protection dominates. Engine
manufacturers must now comply to the world's demand for stringently
controlled emission standards and to develop engine technology in the
future capable of meeting government regulations, as we progress towards
and beyond the year 2001.
