Draper Horizons is focused on developing and
licensing the Film Cooled Internal Combustion Engine,
a patented application of jet engine technology to car engines offering
- more power
- lower heat losses
- reduced knock
- and a 20%
increase in fuel economy.
The next step in development and
commercialization of the technology is a demonstration. The need for an
increase in automobile fuel economy has never been more important with
- the American automobile industry losing
its competitiveness to the more fuel economic foreign competition
- the rising prices of fuel driven by
instabilities around the world
- the rising concerns about global warming
and the impact of emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
