360 Power Group Introduction

Doug Noll presents 360 Power Group's generator and motor technology, claiming 33% reductions in fuel use and emissions through three simultaneous magnetic fields and a continuously variable transmission. The company holds 99 issued patents and 40 pending, with applications ranging from electric vehicles to distributed wind and backup power systems.

There has been zero technology revolution in the alternator business in the past 60 years. David Sanzogni, president of Leroy Sommer, a French company with 23% market share of all generators worldwide. Most electrical motors are less than 90% efficient, and they use 60 to 65% of the world's industrial electricity. What if generators became so efficient they could reduce their contribution to air pollution by 33%? They could reduce greenhouse gases by 33% and potentially eliminate 364 billion tons of greenhouse gases per year. What if heavy, expensive gearboxes became obsolete because they were replaced by electronic gearing? During the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts, 33% of our military casualties occurred during fuel resupply missions. How many lives would be saved if we could cut fuel consumption for generating power by 33% or more? What if a small portable distributed power system could supply electricity to refugee camps in places where an electrical grid does not exist? We conceive of a time when individual power supplies and electronically geared motors could effectively energize the world and make it a safer, cleaner place. Cleaner place, a world that is more humane, a world that is energy smarter, a world that is dollar smarter. Every 360 Power Group motor or generator has 3 magnetic fields operating simultaneously and synergistically. Each has a fully integrated, continuously variable electronic transmission. Each demonstrates exceptional torque and power curves starting at very low RPMs and throughout the operating range. Each is variable speed, direct drive. Each has independent coils that are switchable, swappable, and prevent catastrophic coil failure. Each machine uses 66% less copper than conventional motors or generators, and there are zero exotic materials used in the construction of our generators and motors. There is enormous power-to-weight efficiency. And our technology is scalable from 1 kilowatt to 1 megawatt. All of our technologies are IP protected worldwide with 99 issued and 40 pending patents. And what are some of the immediate applications? Imagine electric vehicles being able to go 33% further with the same battery technology. Imagine over-highway wind turbines for distributed power generation. Imagine remote telecom towers being powered by highly efficient generators. Imagine backpackable 5-kilowatt generators for military and first responders. Imagine rooftop wind turbines on offices and high-rise. Imagine micro and nano grids being powered by their own generators. Imagine in-stream hydro generation, even in discharge pipes of all different sizes. Imagine urban agriculture now being powered by highly efficient, power-dense generators. Imagine a whole distributed power system to provide clean water and agricultural product refrigeration, such as we're doing in India. This is how we change the world.
