Award List:
Variable Speed Alternator Drive
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2010 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency / Branch:
DOD / ARMY
Principal Investigator:
Roy Venton-Walters, Program Manager - FEAD
Award Amount:
$119,942.00
Abstract:
It is proposed to demonstrate through modeling and simulation the feasibility of producing a constant velocity accessory drive (CVAD), using a novel continuously variable transmission. This drive will enable an alternator to produce full rated power while operating at idle and across the full range… More

Modeling Fuel Economy Improvements from Variable Speed Accessory Drives
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2012 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency:
DOD
Principal Investigator:
Mark Koeroghlian, Engineering Program Manag – (713) 357-7191
Award Amount:
$146,402.00
Abstract:
In current military and civilian ground vehicles, accessory components are designed to work across a large range of rotational speeds. This typically results in accessories that are over-sized. Consequently, efficiencies suffer over a significant portion of the accessory operational range. A… More
