History

Reflecting on the ongoing climate changes, we have observed that most of the currently in-use means of transportation produce a significant amount of pollution. In fact, the automotive industry is increasingly shifting towards replacing the current polluting internal combustion engines with electric propulsion engines.

The conversion of both public and private transportation to electric propulsion vehicles raises an issue of electrical supply. Furthermore, the current electric vehicles have limited autonomy. Therefore, in the initial phase, we thought of creating a micro-generator, with the function of a range extender, powered by biogas or hydrogen for recharging the batteries, effectively increasing the vehicle’s range.

In our research, which began in 2017 in the field of electric propulsion, we quickly realized that the critical points were charging times and the limited availability of charging stations in addition to the need for electricity production and storage.

Our reflection didn’t stop at the need to generate electricity to meet the transportation needs; we thought of inventing a power generator that could be used in various sectors. Over the years, we have designed, built, and patented the prototype of a revolutionary linear power generator with 4 pistons that can be powered by both conventional fuels and Bio Methane, Hydrogen, and others. The STG generator has demonstrated an efficiency exceeding 50% compared to traditional generators currently on the market.

At this point, we conducted research to identify companies capable of providing us with linear generators that produce electricity and are more suitable for building our prototype. In the initial phase, these linear engines, an integral part of our generator, are manufactured by the Swiss factory ETEL (founded in 1974 and based in Switzerland, it is a 100% dedicated supplier to direct drive technology), and their linear motors have an efficiency exceeding 92% for electricity production.

Once our first prototype was completed, we turned to AVL (the world’s largest independent company for the development, simulation, and testing of propulsion systems for cars, commercial vehicles, construction equipment, large engines, and their integration into vehicles) for validation of the project’s feasibility, and to proceed with the design of the second prototype for industrial purposes.

The electronic component was developed by Pietro Nizzola, Dr. El-Ing. from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, given its particular complexities.

We then turned, after a market research and considering their specific expertise, to Robby Moto Engineering (RME), (a company founded in 1996 that in 2005 established a large workshop equipped with the most modern equipment for the study, design, manufacture, and development of internal combustion engines) to assess the feasibility of a future collaboration regarding the production of our pre-industrial generator.

After receiving the final study, including a series of tests and conclusions from RME, which confirm the validity of the highly innovative technology of the STG generator, we must now proceed to the next phase, which involves the construction of the industrial prototype.

As indicated in the conclusions of RME, linear generators specifically designed to produce electrical current, applied to the endothermic part of our generator, can double or triple the production of electrical current.
