1. The Clem engine postulated Perpetual Motion or Over Unity energy production.

2. Our present day automobile Internal Combustion Engine (Otto-Carnot Cycle) requires air induction in turbulence form that is mixed with atomized fuel to produce combustion.

3. The CIBC engine as first postulated and then tested by NASA required air induction as the oxidizer, not introduced by turbulence mix but rather by bubble aeration as pressurized into a vapor bubble entrained in a working fluid. This pressurized bubble cavitation combustion simply increased the existing external hydraulic pump fluid pressure. The bubble combustion pressure and hydraulic pump pressure, both amplified by centrifugal force, combine to produce kinetic energy though the turbines and shaft gearing arrangement.

4. NASA and Oak Ridge performed tests in 1999, 2003, and 2005 and published their findings relative to a bubble cavitation phenomenon. Micro-Combustion, Inc. applied for patents and updates during this period supporting their findings. The patent submissions, supported by the published data on Cavitation-Ignition Bubble Combustion, are the basis of energy production of the CIBC Engine and are still valid.

5. Now in 2009, with the same CIBC engine configuration, believed to be the same or similar to the Clem engine, Micro-Combustion, Inc. has postulated a new theory of energy production through the process of Molecular Dissociation. This process is not oxidative combustion (with air induction) but rather a chemical process of energy production as generated by isothermal decomposition. (without air induction). It is a separation of the molecular covalent atom bond structure that will generate additional hydraulic pressure chemically over and above that pressure being produced by the external hydraulic pumps and amplified by centrifugal force.

6. Patents are being updated to include this new molecular dissociation process. We believe that was likely what happened in the Clem engine, which was a closed unit into which presumably no air was injected. (Just to be clear, despite the apparent similarity of our engine to the Clem engine we do not believe in perpetual motion.)

7. We thus have two viable energy technologies, both of which can use cheap, non-refined fuels and eliminate almost all harmful emissions. They can each use the basic Micro-Combustion engine configuration presently known, and further testing will determine the relative merits of each. Since the CIBC engine is hydraulic and rotary in operability and driven by fluid pressure, then our objective is to increase the fluid pressure in order to drive the turbine, whether through Bubble Cavitation Through Oxidative Combustion (increase in temperature), or Molecular Dissociation Through Chemical Isothermal Decomposition (increase in particles), or a combination of both. In the former we increase the fluid volume and hence fluid pressure when the thermal energy released by the combusting bubble sends pressure waves to drive the turbine blades. In the latter we increase the number of molecules or particles chemically contained in the gas bubble, thereby expanding the fluid volume, which process increases the pressure to drive the turbine.
