Turbine-based Engine

Invented by Robert L. Scragg, the Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine (DCGT) engine, with its patented cyclical detonation technology, is poised to revolutionize the heavy-duty truck engine market.

The cylinders in the DCGT don’t have pistons.  Rather, the engine uses a near continuous spark to detonate the air/fuel mixture in each cylinder and it directs the force of the explosion to the turbine which spins a shaft equivalent to a car’s crankshaft.

The TTE DCGT engine utilizes a unique Electromagnetic Isothermal Combustion (EIC) Process that produces complete combustion of fuel-oxidizer mixtures in cyclic detonations which minimizes unwanted NOx and CO emissions.

The EIC Process enables the TTE DCGT engine to operate with blower air at low static pressure, negating the necessity of compressing and preheating fuel-oxidizer mixtures prior to combustion. By eliminating the compression of fuel-oxidizer mixtures, the TTE DCGT achieves higher thermal efficiencies in a simplified mechanical structure, and provides the following advantages over current diesel, gasoline and gas turbine engines.

Some of the features and benefits of the engine are:

* Reduces fuel consumption by about 30%
* Significantly reduces "greenhouse" exhaust gas emissions
* Operates on all hydrocarbon fuels, hydrogen and synthetic fuels
* Flex-fuel and mixed fuels capability
* Fewer moving parts - less maintenance, no pistons, no valves
* High power-to-weight ratio
* Lightweight - less than 2 pounds per horsepower
* Air cooled
* No lube oil, filters or pumps
* Cold start capability
