Many times I have been asked “How is it that you can say that you have come up with an answer to the Energy / Pollution problems when the college educated engineers of the world haven’t been able to do so?” It’s not my place to justify there shameful lack of response to environmental needs by answering for them. I can only answer for myself. I grew up in an environment that made it a necessity to repair what I had with what was available. At the age of twelve I rebuilt a 1953 Plymouth with a very basic tools and the use of a valve grinding machine that a neighbor let me use. I have out of necessity torn down and repaired Semi-Diesel engines in truck-stop parking lots and replaced transmissions on the side of expressways. I learned to be a mechanical engineer in the collegiate school of necessity and hard knocks.
In the sixties I thought I knew just about everything there was to know about the reciprocating engine having seen all of them from the dirty side. As a talented mechanic that then bragged how I could take engines apart, reassembling them blindfolded did not understand the dynamics (thermal and kinetic forces) of a reciprocating engine. After an exhausting I came home to have my three year old daughter let me know in no uncertain terms that I was a polluter, my diesel truck smoked too much. That conversation started my thinking process that later led me to the PDT engine concept. After years of study and research I applied for and was granted my first U.S. patent.
