POWER GENERATORS AND GENSETS
In addition to its engine technologies, AVEC has designed a revolutionary new family of high-power "Axial Flux" coreless electric generators that reach 98.5% efficiency in converting mechanical to electric energy. AVEC's Axial Vector Engine is designed to be seamlessly integrated with two 100 kW Axial Flux generators in order to create a 200 kW generator set (GENSET) that is expected to become AVEC's first commercially marketed product.

Because of their advanced design and high native fuel efficiency, AVEC's GENSETs have tremendous potential in the high-end generator market, with the capacity to become one of the most versatile and lowest-cost power generators in the world. Some of the advantages of AVEC's GENSETS are:
- Lower installation and operating costs
- Computerized monitoring systems that continually identify and enforce ideal engine speeds and other engine parameters
- An estimated 40,000 hours of run-time between major engine overhauls
- Remote monitoring and diagnostics
- Small size and easy mobility
- Use of cheaper and more environmentally-friendly bio-fuels
- Multi-fuel capable, reducing the dependence on foreign oil sources
- Ability to bring electrification to remote region without extending the power grid
There are numerous potential high-value markets for AVEC's GENSETS, including backup generator systems, emergency generation during catastrophes, electrification programs in Third World countries, and motor power systems for high-energy-use consumer and commercial appliances like refrigerators and air conditioners.
