Additional Items:

  • August 2005: Ramgen Power Systems application "CO2 Compression Using Super Sonic Shock Wave Technology" was selected by the Department of Energy - National Energy Technology Laboratory for award under the Funding Opportunity Announcement No. DE-PS26-05NT42380-4 entitled "Enabling Turbine Technologies for High-Hydrogen Fuels". DOE announcement is available at: http://www.netl.doe.gov/publications/press/2005/tl_turbine_award.html
  • February 2005: Ramgen Power Systems has rejoined the DOE-sponsored Industrial Review Board (IRB). The IRB is an industrial advisory group of companies associated with industrial gas turbines that reviews university proposals and subsequent programs and makes recommendations to the DOE. As a member of the IRB, Ramgen will participate in the University Turbine Systems Research (UTSR) summer internship program and receive a student for 10 weeks.
