Professor Wilson co-founded Wilson TurboPower in 2001. Joining the Wilson TurboPower management team are CEO Bruce Anderson, an experienced technology executive holding three degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Chief Product Engineer Jon Ballou, who has over 22 years of experience bringing complicated engineering products to market.
Wilson TurboPower's flagship product will be a 50% efficient turbine (50kW to 5MW). To allow for such high efficiencies, Wilson had to solve a critical problem: current heat recovery technologies had not advanced in decades. In order to build such an efficient turbine, he would need to develop a heat exchanger capable of recovering upwards of 97% of the heat energy passed to it.
Wilson TurboPower's Indexed-Rotation Regenerator called Cerotex™ was developed to meet this need. Cerotex™ has a uniquely high efficiency (up to 97.5% effectiveness) and operates at temperatures over 1,000° C. The current heat exchanger technology that Cerotex™ replaces tends not to exceed 90% effectiveness (75% for many applications), cannot operate at such high temperatures, and costs significantly more to produce. Cerotex™ also is 25-75% smaller and lighter than traditional metal heat exchangers.
