A fair number of small, medium-size and multi-national companies have research going on about alternatives to the petrol/diesel internal combustion engine (motor?) in their R&D departments, or as a main activity.

We follow up on that, mate!

Not only compressed-air but mainly bio-diesel, hydrogen or fuel-cell technologies are hot topics in today's short-of and afraid-of shortage world.

Competition is always stimulating, always pushing in your back to get better performance at a lower unit cost, no?

We are aware of that, mate!

Marine applications are only a (small) part of the overall potential we aim at!
But it is the main topic of this discussion forum, and therefore I focus on this particular aspect of our compressed-air engine's (motor's) potential.

As a definition of our ongoing research one could say: to develop an economical, justifiable, scalable, multi-use alternative to the internal combustion engine.
On top of that it happens to be zero-pollution in use; cherry on the cake, mate!

I have left out to answer a certain number of rather technical remarks and questions in this thread.
I will reply to those on monday (that's tomorrow) OK?
