Freedom Air-cooled Rotor
Technology
(A key component of the Rotapower Engine)
Freedom's experience
developing air/charge-cooled rotors
includes:
- Improved prototype engines
based on designs from: OMC, Fichtel-Sachs,
Norton and Infinite Machines.
- Advanced ceramic rotor coatings - NASA contract
- Patented rotor design to:
- Reduce the stationary
gear peak stress.
- Isolate the rotor bearing from combustion heat.
- Eliminate the axial temperature gradient across
- rotor.
- Lighten the rotor.
- Reduce the stress level throughout the rotor.
- Enhance stratified charge performance
