FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STURMAN DIGITAL ENGINE
NOMINATED FOR
INNAUGURAL WORLD CLEAN
ENERGY AWARDS
Sturman
Industries’ Camless Digital Engine was nominated for the first World Clean
Energy Awards. Sponsored by the
Swiss-based Transatlantic21 Association, the award was “developed to honor mainstream applications of Clean Energy in seven
categories. . .” The Sturman Camless
Digital Engine fits the Transport and Mobility category. “The
program provides a prestigious global platform for recognizing 
and encouraging
continued advancement in the field, setting new standards for applying clean
energy solutions and alternatives . . .”
Nominator Statements on the Sturman Camless Digital
Engine’s Impact and Sustainability
Impact: “This nominee proved the feasibility of a
technology deemed impossible by many.
Air-injection-based control of combustion was seen as impossible by
major engine makers, domestic and international. This nominee has shown that the perceived
barriers are surmountable.”
Sustainability: “The reduction of carbon dioxide in the
environment and the reduction of the use of petroleum-based fuels is indisputable, with known social and economic
impacts. This opportunity is not just
sustainable, but restorative. It could
enable geographically separated economies to create the fuels that make sense
to grow as crops in each ecological environment, all converted to mechanical
work in the same engine which could work in these varied geographic areas . . .
and that is just the tip of the iceberg for benefits.”
The Sturman
Camless Digital Engine was nominated by Amory Lovins, Chairman and Chief
Scientist of the Rocky Mountain Institute.
Newsweek has praised him
as "one of the Western world's most influential energy thinkers"; and
Car magazine ranked him the
twenty-second most powerful person in the global automotive industry. He founded the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI)
in 1982.
The Sturman Camless Digital Engine was
nominated for the World Clean Energy Award because of its ability to enable
both air and fuel injection for increased control over combustion events in 2-,
4- and even 6- or 8-stroke modes. This
innovation promises to be remarkably cleaner and more efficient than today’s
standard gas or diesel engines. The
Sturman Camless Digital Engine will offer benefits to individuals, society, the
economy and the environment:
NOx, Particulate Matter, and CO2
Emissions Reduction
The Sturman
Camless Digital Engine is designed to efficiently and affordably reduce
emissions including particulate matter that are known to be contributing
factors to asthma, lung cancer and stunted lung growth in children. Health and life span improvements through
improved air quality, reduced dependence on fossil fuels and reduced greenhouse
gasses will also benefit each of us as individuals, as well as a global
society. Economically, cost savings may
also be realized due to better individual health and a relative decrease in
healthcare costs. The Sturman Camless
Digital Engine reduces emissions without
costly aftertreatments by precisely controlling the combustion process
itself. Environmentally, the reduction
on NOx, Particulate Matter and CO2 will help diminish greenhouse
gasses that contribute to global warming and ozone creation.
Multi-fuel Compatibility
The Sturman Camless
Digital Engine is very flexible, and allows the use of a variety of fuels like
JP8, diesel and biodiesel. The engine
has been operating in the dynamometer using diesel and 97% biodiesel fuels. This intelligent engine control system can optimally
utilize the energy content of any fuel being utilized, enabling a wider variety
of alternate fuels to be practical.
Dramatically reducing the world’s dependence on fossil fuels will
benefit the globe environmentally, socially and individually. Economic impacts may be realized through the
use of the Sturman Camless Digital Engine running on biofuels made with
agricultural products that may be grown all over the world.
The components of
the patented Sturman Camless Digital Engine consist of industry-leading digital
valves that are small and precise. They
operate the unique Sturman injector, hydraulic valve actuators and intelligent
software controls. Sturman works with numerous
engine manufacturers worldwide for implementation of individual components as
well as the optimal integrated Digital Engine system.
