Regarding the pacing of Freedom Motors work on engines for sour gas application:
A year ago (in the July newsletter), they said that they were "two weeks away from proving that our Rotapower® engine can efficiently use sour gas to create electricity".
Subsequently? In the intervening year, all they appear to have done is run their engine on mixtures of methane and carbon dioxide. They have never run the engine on actual sour gas (where it would have to contend with siloxane, hydrogen sulphide, and other interesting things). A month or so ago, they were rebuilding an engine (a reconditioned 530 cc rotary left over from the M400 demonstrations in 2002) to be sent off to have the generator part added on.
So, 56 weeks beyond the point where they said they would have proof of their engine being suited for use with sour gas, they have gotten partway through assembling a engine/genset to test it out.
Any further questions about the likelihood of Moller International accomplishing anything in the next decade?
