Jet Fueled 500 Watt Micro-Generator

The goal is to quietly provide 500W of electrical power for 6 hours from 8 kg including fuel, from an 8 liter package. Each additional kg of fuel, be it jet, diesel, or gasoline will provide another 3 hours of power. Foster Miller has developed technology for starting and running small spark ignition engines on jet and diesel fuels. The new art in electrical machinery and electronics makes the project possible and practical. The small .8 cubic inch displacement, 4 cycle engine is easy to silence and consumes one half as much fueld as a 2 cycle engine. The emphasis of the program will be on engine durability and performance testing. The overall system preliminary design package will be based on the test results and a detailed study of the electrical components. All major components, including the micor-engine, already have a production base to build on.
