From KeelyNet News: (Thanks Bob! - JWD) The Encore MPG has a direct fuel-to-electrical power output just like a hydrogen fuel cell, but offers the potential to be more fuel-efficient and cost-effective than a fuel cell, because the MPG does not need to waste energy separating hydrogen gas from water, nor increase consumption of fossil fuels for steam-reforming hydrogen (whose by-product includes unwanted carbon dioxide emissions), nor require dangerous high-pressure hydrogen storage tanks to operate.
The MPG design is for a unique pressure driven "Linear Engine" that propels a permanent magnet through a series of electro-magnetic coils to generate electricity according to Faraday's Law of Induction, wherein moving a permanent magnet into and out of a coil of wire induces an electrical current in the wire while the magnet is in motion.
The MPG design can use fuel combustion or low-boiling-point working fluids to convert heat energy into high-pressure gases that propel its "Magnetic Piston" at high velocities, back-and-forth, through a linear alternator to generate usable electricity. The greater the velocity of the Magnetic Piston passing through the alternator, the greater the electrical power output that can be generated. The Company believes that the MPG design can be scaled-up to generate electricity by the kilowatts or potentially megawatts of power.
