Continuously Adaptive Volume Intelligent Engine (CAVIE™)
CAVIE™ modules are the heart of the modular linear generator. Conventional engine technology has a limited ability to adapt to changing conditions and loading demands; therefore, efficiency in real world use suffers. CAVIE™ modules can adjust key physical parameters of the generator (displacement, compression, valve lift and timing, fuel injection) to maintain high combustion efficiency across a wide range of loading. Multiple CAVIE™ modules can be combined together for higher maximum output, and even greater load matching capability as individual modules can deactivate completely when not needed.
How are CAVIE™ modules so efficient?
