What follows are some
Specific Development Projects
for Quasiturbine applications.

These could become individual projects that a university, research institute or private industry might undertake in order to prove the Quasiturbine in real-world applications.

Applications in which there are potential benefits to using a Quasiturbine:

1. Renewable Energy & Biomass Sector:

• Combustion of Biomass Waste Gas [Methane / CO2] to produce electricity using
• Internal Combustion
• External Combustion (Stirling)
• Solar Stirling Engine
• Wind Energy storage using Pressurized Air
• Geothermal
  
  Note: Electrical energy generated from renewable sources can be sold back to the grid under the newly developed Standard Offer Contract in Ontario.

2. Automotive/Transportation Sector:

• Internal combustion engine:
• Otto cycle (gasoline, diesel)
• Photodetonation mode
• Alternative Fuel vehicles (ex. natural gas, kerosene, methane, biogas, methanol, ethanol etc.)
• Hydrogen
• Fuel Hybrid Vehicle
• Compressed Air Hybrid Vehicle
• Hybrid (Fuel/Electric) Wheel Motor Traction Systems

3. Gas Pipeline Energy Recovery when used as an expansion valve:

• Recover energy during gas pipeline depressurization.

4. Refrigeration rotary compressor:

•  Improve the efficiency of Compressors and Heat Pumps
• heating and cooling
• HVAC, air conditioners, fridges, freezers

5. Pneumatic engines:

• Enable a "new" energy storage medium to be tapped in the form of pressure energy.
  

6. Steam engine and/or Pressure Reduction Station:

• Dramatically increase the efficiency of steam turbines.
• saturated steam engine
• Hot water injection engine
• Cold water injection engine (flash steam generator)
• Efficiently utilize "waste" steam in industrial processes for Energy Recovery.
• Use "low-grade" heat sources to generate power.
• Effiently utilize energy sources that have variable rates of output and/or variable temperature gradients.

7. Pumps, Compressors and Turbines:

• Replacing traditional pumps, compressors and turbines can make systems more efficient.
• Particularly applicable in systems with
• low flow rates or low pressures
• variable flow rates
• low temperature gradients

8. Stationary distributed energy production:

• Small size, low weight, high energy density, simple design, low parts count and low maintenance can make every sort of distributed energy design cost effective.

9. Mobility power applications where a Quasiturbine could replace traditional piston engines:

• Portable Machines:
• Stationary Machines:

11. Electric Integration:

• Integrate an electric motor into the Quasiturbine and make:
• A single unit hybrid engine
• Allows the monolithic integration of an electric generator with a fuel engine.
• Could be used as pneumatically-driven electric generator or alternator.
• Dual-power generators could simultaneously produce both electric and pneumatic (pressure) energy.

•  Integrated electric motor-driven pump.
