New Revolution In Prime Mover Technology

RVCR mechanism, the next progressive mutation in machine mechanism, leads to a new generation of multi-fuel engines.

The automotive sector today is focused on electric drive and has caught the attention of the public. But there is a catch 22 type dilemma here. If the oil consumption is reduced by electric engines and oil production continues, oil will become cheaper owing to less demand and excess supply. The battery technology will have to compete with cheaper fossil fuel making it economically unviable. The electric alternative to the existing powertrain systems is limited to automotive which is only a fraction of the powertrain applications and is not applicable to the entire bulk of industrial and commercial applications where the fuel driven prime mover (engine) is used, (as in heavy commercial vehicles; material handling, mining, earth moving equipments, defence applications like tanks, armoured vehicles, aviation (UAV’s to helicopters), marine propulsion (boats, ferries, ships), large power generation units etc. The significance of engines to industry remains. Unhooking of fossil fuel dependency is not as simple as switching to electric cars, rather it is a transition to technological solutions for greener alternatives. It is this challenge that a new revolutionary ‘RVCR technology’, based on an invention in engine kinematics by an Indian engineer and inventor Das Ajee Kamath.

Conventional engine vs RVCR Technology: RVCR is a seed-machine kinematics that has various downstream applications in engines, renewable energy power generators and utility machines. RVCR enables a feature called ‘VCR’ (Variable Compression Ratio) which specially revolutionises engines. RVCR is a leap in technology compared to conventional engines and differs in the very makeup of the way engines work.
