IPG to demo Flameless Ceramic Turbine for clean, off-grid power in EV charging

Green Car Congress

It operates at high temperatures—above the temperature for spontaneous reaction from any fuel—to enable combustion without a flame. Low-cost ceramics enable temperatures beyond the limitations of metals to deliver fuel efficiencies of power plants in small-scale distributed power.
