The Kamtech Team: Vision, Boldness, Conviction, and Craft
Professor Antoni K. Oppenheim — was the person who sparked the Rad Cam development. As early as the late 1960s, he argued that ICE’s massive pollution and high fuel consumption alone demanded the replacement of the four-stroke engine. His vision was an engine design that would more precisely match the dynamics of combustion.
Smokey Yunick — was the consultant and innovator whose relentless pursuit of performance and belief in the project helped us with several of the first mechanical issues, which improved efficiency and thermal management.
Jim Duncalf — is the driving force of the project, whose advocacy for conserving energy goes back to his days when he represented the Energy Department in the US. He has long been an advocate for energy conservation. His first patent on the Rad Cam was filed in 1992.
Phạm Duy Tùng — is the young Vietnamese employee and knowledgeable engineer whose practical experience and persistence anchored the project in Vietnam and who continues to work for its success. His contributions were invaluable.
Professor Cong — a guiding authority whose insight and technical acumen connected Rad Cam dynamics to Free Piston innovation, solidifying Vietnam’s role in the journey.
Together, they embody Kamtech’s core values:
- Innovation — Challenging convention with fresh ideas.
- Persistence — Overcoming obstacles with determination.
- Conviction — Standing firm against compromise.
- Collaboration — Harnessing diverse strengths to achieve a common vision.
