This all started about 20 years ago after the terrorist attacks of 2001. The necessity of clean energy, the horrific consequences of energy dependency, all gut punch driven home.

I began working on bladeless microturbines for the following reasons and criteria:

1. Low cost. As a manufacturing engineer,  I knew that economic success is often critically dependent on manufacturing costs. So, for example, fuel cells and microturbines remain expensive, prohibiting widespread adoption.

2. Energy independence. The social, economic, and other benefits of not depending on other nations for energy should be obvious by now and I won't belabor.

3. Sustainability. This needs to be a permanent solution.  We literally can't live without a sustainable approach to the challenges of this century.

4. Efficiency. More efficiency means more power. I want tech that can hit 90% efficiency. I'm not happy with a solar panel that's maybe 15% efficient. I'm gonna do something about that.

5. Robustness. I want tech that is rugged and reliable, able to handle all kinds of fuel or all kinds of conditions.

By 2008 I was building and testing microturbine prototypes. Published on YouTube under zvorenergy.

I began patent application and soon discovered that the process, started in 1790 for the benefit of individual inventors, has become hopelessly corrupted. Patent trolls, large corporations, and government regulations have killed the traditional route.

Therefore, I have decided to use an open license approach. We are going to develop this technology for the individual, family, or small business.  The intellectual property will be freely available to anyone who reads this blog
