Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) achieved 8,000 aircraft recoveries and launches aboard USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) on April 19, during the final independent steaming event of her 18-month Post Delivery Test & Trials (PDT&T) period.

Hydrogen motor

Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicles

The Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE) and UPS have joined to develop a zero emission fuel cell hybrid electric delivery van as part of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) investment to commercialize cost effective hydrogen technologies.

Linear Natural Gas motor

Linear Natural Gas Compressor

Under CEM's Department of Energy ARPA-E award, researchers were challenged to develop an in-home natural gas compressor that would last 3x as long, and cost 1/10th as much, as conventional residential natural gas fueling systems.

Microgrid Technology
