Turbodyne Technology Announces Returning Engineering Expert, And Next Development Milestone |
(Ventura, CA) Turbodyne Technologies, Inc. (TRBD.OB) announced today that Dr. William Woollenweber (La Costa, CA), a distinguished and widely known designer of air-induction systems, has completed Phase I of an ongoing Engineering Program project to optimize the compressor design for the new TurboFlow™ and TurboPac™ second-generation products. The completed Phase I engineering effort covers the preliminary design and engineering research, and critical reviews for new product designs.
Key Phase I Milestones reached included research into compressor wheel
optimization, operating efficiencies, and design work for next
generation products.
Dr. Woollenweber, in the 1990’s, was a Vice President of Turbodyne
heading design and engineering at the Carlsbad Design Center. He is the
named inventor (or co-inventor) on more than 40 US and other patents
air induction devices (including turbochargers, superchargers,
TurboPacs, DynaChargers, blowers, and material conveyors). His
expertise includes the design and development of air induction products
for many of the largest producers in the world including Cummins,
Honeywell, and Switzer. His contributions to Turbodyne include being
named on many of the foundation patents of the Company as a
Co-inventor.
Albert Case, president and CEO, said “We are very happy that Dr.
Woollenweber has agreed to return as a Distinguished Scientific Fellow
to Turbodyne and work on our next-generation products. He brings
continuity and intimate knowledge of our proprietary technology to
strengthen our ongoing engineering program.”
According to Arnold Kwong, vice president of product development says,
“It is a great privilege to have Dr. Woollenweber sheparding our
research and design work. He is one of the truly great designers in the
field, and his expertise makes our efforts highly productive.”
Additional efforts are underway as a part of the ongoing Engineering
Program previously announced by the Company. Dr. Woollenweber will
continue to work with the Company as a key part of this effort in the
role of Distinguished Scientific Fellow.
