Researchers from Michigan State University and the Warsaw Institute of Technology are developing a wave disk engine and electricity generator that promises to be five times more efficient than ...

Despite shifting into higher gear within the consumer's green conscience, hybrid vehicles are still tethered to the gas pump via a fuel-thirsty 100-year-old invention: the internal combustion engine.

Seen below is the experimental Wave Disc Generator, a lightweight hybrid engine component invented by Dr. Norbert Muller from the University of Michigan. Thanks to a $2.5 million grant from the ...

Researcher Norbert Muller on the Wave Disk Generator, a new engine design developed at Michigan State University that may be considerably more efficient than the piston design found on cars today.

A disc-shaped shock wave generator is about 45% more efficient than ordinary combustion engines. Those attending the DoE's Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) Energy Innovation Summit ...
