Discover the Alternative to Batteries and Hydrogen-Fueled Power Generation: The Closed Strayton Quad Generator

To address the aggressive climate goals that have been set for the next few decades, key segments of the economy, including the maritime and aerospace sectors, are increasingly turning away from the use of fossil fuels and toward designs based on electrical power generation. At the same time, industry leaders are increasingly recognizing that, even if their most optimistic
projections for performance advancements in batteries and fuel cells are realized, these technologies are unlikely to perform well enough to help them meet those goals.

Similarly, hydrogen-fueled open-cycle engine options still have a negative impact on air quality. Even more significantly, the incompatibility of hydrogen with our existing fossil fuel infrastructure (from production facilities and storage tanks to delivery equipment and power-generating equipment) also makes widespread adoption of hydrogen-powered equipment unrealistic. In short, attempting to protect the climate with battery- and hydrogen-based technologies reduces performance and
increases costs. Our economic and national security will depend on finding ways to protect the climate cost-effectively without reducing productivity, performance, reliability, or safety.

This white paper introduces the Closed Strayton Quad Generator technology, a patent-pending, multifuel, sealed generator design that offers a technically and economically viable alternative to batteries and hydrogen-fueled power generation technologies. It addresses the need for clean, quiet, efficient, compact, multifuel power generation without compromising on performance, climate, cost, and reliability metrics. Even more important, this technology is compatible with today’s infrastructure. Recent studies suggest it is potentially cleaner than a hydrogen economy when it is combined with the use of flameless oxidized power to liquid (PtL) synthetic fuels, which this technology makes possible.

This new power generation technology offers the advantage of compatibility with a wide range of fuels, which would allow for a seamless transition from fossil fuels to future net-zero synthetic fuels, while improving performance and reducing costs. All current infrastructure and vehicle assets remain compatible while the economy adopts this new zero climate impact (ZCI), high-performing generator technology as an alternative to batteries and hydrogen-fueled technologies.

In summary, the combination of PtL and the Closed Strayton Quad Generator technology will make it unnecessary to disrupt the world’s economy to protect the climate.
