| PDT stands for "Positive Displacement Turbine", a design so unique, it could start a new industrial renaissance. It combines the burning of gasoline, diesel or other fuel source in a special combustion chamber, in conjunction with steam turbine and supercharger technologies, resulting in an engine considered to be an adiabatic hybrid.
Engineering calculations for this new design have been confirmed by outside engineers as being able to provide as much horsepower as existing engines in a much smaller size (about 2/3 current engine sizes), releasing only 33% the amount of current engines¹ emissions while easily breaking the 100 MPGe expectations of the Progressive Automotive® X-Prize competition - and a seemingly impossible goal of our society. The lower emissions will no longer dictate the need for a catalytic convertor and the power output, being the same as today¹s cars (or even better), will allow for quick acceptance of this bolt-in replacement engine and its benefits. Fewer moving parts will make the new engine simpler to manufacture and maintain than current engines (fewer parts means less can go wrong with it).
