The Problem

Increasingly stringent emission requirements demand high efficiency engines with less pollution

Current solutions - gas turbine, positive displacement internal combustion engines - have exhausted their potential for major breakthroughs

In the coming years, as market requirements

change, Newton’s solution will best meet these demands.
