Highlights of the new software include System Match technology with features such as True Radiant and Heat Pump Balance geared to help high-efficiency, non-conventional (i.e. not forced air) heating systems perform even more efficiently.
The rocket engine power plant runs at a 35% thermal efficiency, versus 55% for conventional gas-fired plants.
The conventional wisdom judged the efficiency of markets by the accuracy of individual prices rather than on their robustness in the event of shocks or their vulnerability when liquidity dries up.
"Both in terms of speed and efficiency, we achieved major improvements over conventional conditions, " he said.
By optimizing the split-cycle concept, the Scuderi engine is expected to reduce NOx emissions up to 80 percent and improve fuel efficiency by 50 percent, compared to a conventional gasoline engine.
There are three primary areas of importance: energy efficiency, investing in renewable energy and clean, conventional generation of energy.
His company has designed motors for cars and trucks that have the potential to increase fuel efficiency up to 50% but will cost 25% less than conventional motors.
Were he to have used the conventional generators found in regular windmills, his minimills would only achieve one percent efficiency, as opposed to the 18 percent they can reach using the piezoelectric materials.
