The Development Team: Technology:
The program team consists of Mystere’s two technologistdesigners, Rick Course and Ken Pearson. These two have a comprehensive history in delivering creative solutions across marine-automotive and aviation theaters, with particular expertise in power-train engineering. This collaboration includes an advanced engine patent (filed August 2014) covering a leveraged crank, rotary valve design (see PPT). The engine is cam-less, with no traditional valve-train. With just three moving parts per cylinder, it has the lowest parts count of any published, high efficiency engine. Three 2-cycle variants can be delivered from this universal design: a 2-cycle diesel, 2-cycle Otto cycle (CNG-propane) and a 2-cycle steam engine variant designed to run on dry powdered bio-fuel (carbon neutral). The design has been peer reviewed and evaluated as the probable thermal efficiency leader for small engines, at 58% thermal efficiency in diesel mode. This is an 18% increase over the current automotive diesels that are dominant in EEC markets. A natural gas/propane version will be the engine component for the detachable EV-ER powertrain onboard genset, designated for the Phase 2 Commuter development program.
IP: All Commuter vehicle IP that has been generated will be filed by Pearson. There are two exceptions. The pedal generator was suggested by a colleague and the battery IP is owned by Martin Koebler, Stark Power.
Marketing: The marketing will be managed by Parry Plisek and will be heavily oriented to social media based targeted financing and then into crowdfunding and new REG A plus investor for production capital. Parry has a long and successful marketing background.
