The Problem: off-grid power still runs on diesel
Remote industry, islands, mines, telecom and backup power burn diesel because nothing else is dependable enough.
Dirty
Diesel gensets emit ~700 g CO₂ per kWh plus NOx, SOx and particulates — increasingly taxed, restricted or banned.
Expensive
Remote diesel power costs $0.30–0.70 per kWh once fuel logistics, depreciation and maintenance are counted.
High-maintenance
Oil changes every 250–500 hours. Rings, bearings and injectors wear out. Major overhaul every 10,000–20,000 hours.
Fragile supply
Every litre of diesel must be trucked or shipped in. Fuel theft, spills and price shocks are routine.
The world needs dependable, dispatchable, carbon-free power — power that runs where the grid does not reach, without a maintenance crew.
Every current alternative forces a trade-off
Diesel / gas engines
High emissions, rising carbon cost
Oil, rings, valves — constant wear
Overhauls every 1–2 years
Still fossil-fuelled
Gas turbines
Poor part-load efficiency
Expensive hot-section service
Overhauls every 1–2 years
Still fossil-fuelled
Hydrogen fuel cells
H₂ is costly to move and store
Stack degradation, 5–10 yr life
Precious-metal catalysts
Solar + batteries
Intermittent — needs oversizing
Days of storage is unaffordable
No output in long dark seasons
Ammonia is the missing fuel: carbon-free, energy-dense, liquid at mild pressure, with ~200 Mt/year of existing global production, ports and pipelines. What is missing is an engine built for it.
The Solution: HPDD — a linear engine built for ammonia
Free-piston direct-drive generator, version V26.73-2 — no crankshaft, no gearbox, no oil, no exhaust pipe.
Carbon-free combustion
Burns 71.25% ammonia + 17.75% hydrogen (mass) — the hydrogen is cracked onboard from the same ammonia tank. No carbon in, no CO₂ out.
→ 300 kW per module, stackable
Direct drive
Twin free-floating pistons oscillate a 1.2 mm micro-stroke at high frequency, generating electricity directly in a linear alternator. No rotating parts.
→ 25 µm water film — no contact
Water bearing
Pistons ride on a 25 µm pressurised water film — zero metal contact, zero wear, zero lubricating oil.
→ 0.000 kg wear measured in testing
Fully closed loop
No exhaust port. A Rankine condenser recaptures every working fluid and turns "exhaust" into clean water, nitrogen and fertilizer.
→ 0 oil changes, ever
How it works — five steps, one sealed loop
Fuel
Liquid ammonia feeds an onboard catalytic cracker; 17.75% is split into hydrogen to ignite the mix.
Pulse
Combustion pulses fire against twin free pistons — a 1.2 mm micro-stroke, cushioned by sealed metal bellows.
Power
The pistons are the generator: they produce direct hydraulic pressure.
Capture
A separation vessel separates the water and nitrogen instead of an exhaust pipe.
Recover
Out come clean water, pressurised nitrogen (+20–30% extra power) and a fertilizer stream.
Nothing leaves the machine except electricity, water and useful products. Every gram of working fluid is measured, recovered and reused.
The breakthrough: one water film does five jobs
A single VFD-controlled water pump replaces the oil system, gas bearings, piston rings, cooling jackets and dampers of a conventional engine.
Suspends
Hydrostatic 25 µm film keeps piston and bore from ever touching
Flushes
Continuous flow sweeps combustion residue out of the clearance
Cools
Water carries heat away directly at the friction boundary
Dampens
The film is a water mattress absorbing pulse shocks
Adapts
Clearance is actively managed through the stroke (patent pending)
Result: an engine with effectively no wear surfaces. Design mass balance of the moving assembly: 0.000 kg change. No oil, no filters, no rings, no scheduled teardown — maintenance collapses to sensors and a pump.
One machine, three revenue streams
⚡ Electricity — 300 kW
Dispatchable, grid-quality power per module. Modules stack to MW scale. Nitrogen cold/pressure recovery adds 20–30% to net output.
💧 Clean water — 126 L/hr
Combustion of ammonia + hydrogen produces pure water, condensed and captured instead of vented. Drinking or process water in the driest sites.
🌱 Fertilizer — Ca(NO₃)₂
Trace NOx is scrubbed with lime into calcium nitrate — a saleable agricultural fertilizer. The only "emission" is a product.
For a remote mine, island or farm, HPDD is not just a generator — it is a power plant, a water plant and a fertilizer plant in one container.
Head-to-head: HPDD vs. everything else
Illustrative comparison based on typical published figures for each technology class; HPDD figures from V26.73-2 design documentation.
Why the economics win
Maintenance collapses
No oil, filters, rings or overhauls. Service = monitor sensors, swap a pump. Diesel O&M is a major share of the $0.30–0.70/kWh remote power cost — HPDD removes most of it.
Efficiency stacks
Direct drive removes drivetrain losses; nitrogen cold and pressure recovery adds 20–30% net output; condensing capture recovers latent heat other engines throw away.
Fuel is already global
Ammonia is one of the world's most-produced chemicals: ~200 Mt/yr, with ports, ships, pipelines and price benchmarks in place. No new fuel infrastructure needed.
Byproducts pay back
Water and calcium-nitrate fertilizer are sold, not scrubbed. In water-scarce agricultural regions the byproducts alone can rival the value of the electricity.
A market moving our way
Ammonia-to-power is one of the fastest-growing segments of the energy transition.
Green Ammonia Market Growth (USD Billion)
Regulatory Tailwinds
EU carbon pricing and IMO shipping rules actively penalise the incumbents we replace.
