General Vortex Energy has received funding from the ONR to test its micro-turbine single chamber combustion technology at Southwest Research Institute in Q4 2010. The 150kWe combustor will be tested with load and using propane and jet fuel during several operating conditions to observe cold start performance, various equivalence ratios and combustion limits. The tests will involve 5 test points within 3 modes (varying Temperature, Pressure and Flow Rate) using 1 liquid fuel and one gaseous fuel. The duration of the test is expected to be 8-12 weeks.

General Vortex Energy recapitalizes through an equity offering

admin — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 22:42:41 +0000

On March 31, 2010 General Vortex Energy CEO James L. McCarley announced the closing of a $220,000 equity raise that allowed the firm to retire all debt and retain 6-12 months of working capital. This raise was a component of a broader effort by GVE management to transition itself from primarily an R&D company into a product firm that licenses and sells technology. The raise was generated through an even mix of existing and new equity investors.
