After thoughts of the development process
R&D is not for the faint of heart.
Every breakthrough technology undergoes three critical phases: concept, development, and commercialization. In the case of automotive engines, the concept and patent emerged in 1861, thanks to Alphonse Beau de Rochas. Yet, commercialization took nearly three decades, finally arriving in 1888 with the sale of the first Benz Patent-Motorwagen. The development of the Kamtech OBE system has followed a similarly demanding path—one built on dedication rather than full-time commitment. The experts who contributed to this decade-long endeavor did so not for personal gain, but out of a shared vision: to advance energy conservation and create a cleaner, more peaceful world. This same motivation has long driven renowned academicians, whose groundbreaking innovations often go unnoticed beyond rarely read technical papers. But history has proven one constant—success belongs to those who rise after every setback and keep moving forward.
The Rad Cam engine is the future of On Board Energy
The foundation of the Rad Cam engine was first fully conceived in the fall of 1991, during a pivotal meeting between retired UC Berkeley Professor Antoni (Toni) K. Oppenheim and Donald James (Jim) Duncalf. However, the need to replace the 1861 Otto Cycle engine had been recognized long before. What followed was a 13-year journey of problem-solving, redesign, building, and testing multiple prototypes. Eventually, Earthstar’s production version clearly demonstrated the efficiency advantage of the radial cam concept over the conventional 4-stroke engine. Along the way, countless modifications were made—the team lost track of how many. Developing the Rad Cam engine has been an intense and costly process, with hundreds of intricate challenges that required innovative solutions. The final two hurdles brought the project to Vietnam, where—after exhaustive trial and error—the team finally found the solutions that worked.
