Open House: Freedom Technologies - New Power for a New World

100th Anniversary Celebration of the first Tesla turbine

Munising, MI - To celebrate the 100-year anniversary of Nikola Tesla's first Tesla turbine* prototype, PNGinc is designating the entire month of August as an Open House for the general public. Admission is free.

Highlights:

Visitors will be able to view Tesla turbines and learn about this engine's impact on 21st century motive power development. We're also planning to display new technological directions in power & transportation including:

	Solar-steam (solar turbine generator in progress)
	Scale model VAWT wind turbine (inside our wind tunnel)
	Static model of our turbine-hydraulic hybrid drivetrain
	New high-performance aircraft planform model

Plan on participating in environmental/political discussions. And for Phoenix Turbine Builders Club members who need workshop assistance, we will set aside time to help out if they bring their projects with them.

Open House hours are noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday throughout the month of August.

Who should attend:

Anyone interested in new power technologies is invited to visit our Munising, Michigan headquarters during August 2006 -- indigenous people, business owners, decision-makers in government & industry, news media, and organizations/individuals who play a key role in shaping man's future. In short, anyone interested in creating a new world based on renewable energy, distributed power systems and freedom from fossil-fuel dependency.

Our location:

PNGinc is located at E10074 County Road H58, east of Munising.

* Fast Facts: The first Tesla Turbine model was built in 1906. Weighing less than 10 pounds, the turbine operated on compressed air and developed 30 horsepower (three horsepower per pound). Twelve disks measuring five inches in diameter & made of German silver reportedly attained a speed of 20,000 rpm. -- Further improvements by the great scientist/inventor resulted in a breakthrough 10hp/lb. engine the size of a man's derby hat.

PNGinc has improved upon Tesla's original design, gaining an additional 30% efficiency. Along with proprietary combustion breakthroughs, our Phoenix Turbine (projected 40-50% thermal efficiency) has the highest potential of all engines.
