Energy Conversion Research

Mainstream's energy conversion programs focus on developing technologies that have greater efficiency or power density than current equipment. We are exploring power ranges from a few watts (e.g., batteries) to hundreds of kilowatts (e.g., generators). Mainstream has developed systems based on a variety of energy-conversion pathways with energy sources, including electrochemical cells, logistics fuels, wind, solar energy, and waste heat. Many of our current projects focus on the development of compression-ignition engines and engine components for unique and challenging military applications. Other current research efforts include the development of technology to more efficiently produce and use biofuels.
