About HFDynamics
HFDynamics is a research and development company organized to become the leading provider of engine technology solutions for lightweight, multi-fuel, clean burning power plants initially targeted to the small engine and UAV power plant markets.
HFDynamics pioneers core technologies that enable traditional gasoline engines to burn multiple fuels (i.e. diesel, kerosene, jet-A, JP5, JP8, and other fuels) in low compression, spark-ignited engines with very low emissions and reduced fuel consumption levels.
HFDynamics designs and licenses engines in the 0.75 to 90 horsepower range for manufacturers serving global industrial, military and marine markets. The company has rapid design and prototyping abilities as well as the expertise to provide complete integrated power/drive systems for a wide variety of applications.
Two Stroke Engines
with Direct Fuel Injection
Two stroke engines are used in thousands of products, ranging from fixed wing UAVs, unmanned VTOLs, unmanned helicopters, hybrid drones, hybrid multicopters, and a wide variety of military equipment. Product manufacturers select engines for their light weight and low cost but have had to accept their shortcomings, including: excessive fuel consumption, high noise and emission levels, and low reliability.
Consumers are becoming increasingly sophisticated. They demand that products they buy meet standards including clean, quiet, reliable, and smooth operation. At the same time, consumers also seek to maximize value with appropriate size, power and other desired features. Federal regulations that address clean operation and safety have also become more stringent. Manufacturers are now competitively driven to address noise, reliability, and operational issues in a global marketplace of diverse needs.
Operating Strategy
To be the world leader, HFDynamics’s Mission requires focus and commitment to quality while embracing innovation, flexibility, speed and productivity. HFDynamics is guided by its Quality Policy and Quality Objectives in order to meet Quality System Standards as defined by ISO 9001-1994 and ANSI/ASQ Q9001-1994. Company services adherent to these objectives include design and development, procurement, prototype CNC machining, prototype assembly, dynamometer and emission testing and engineering consulting.
The foundation established to achieve operational and quality objectives rests in HFDynamics’s staff, equipment, facilities and control processes. Personnel are selected who have the passion and attitude for success and teamwork. Equipment selection is balanced by short-term requirements and long-term vision. Facilities are designed and leased to meet operational objectives while minimizing exposure to large capital obligations and facility ownership. HFDynamics is rigorous with its documented policies and processes, but flexible in execution to assure HFDynamics remains competitive in the fast paced business environment.
Focus, speed and efficiency are optimized to manufacture and test prototype engines and drives. Strategically, the goal is to grow and manage the foundation assets to achieve all project criteria as well as corporate financial goals.
Engineering Team
HFDynamics’s engineering team combines a remarkable depth of knowledge and experience in the fields of engine and drive design (currently more than 85 combined years). HFDynamics seeks to build diversity within the field of advanced power generation to ensure that its commitment to recognizing innovative technologies is completely independent of any particular “legacy” technology.
Dr. Wong Ka-Hei
Research Director
Dr. Wong Ka-Hei obtained an honors degree in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Hong Kong where he was elected a scholar in 1993. The third year of his degree was spent at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He went on to study for the degree of PhD in Mechanical Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Working as a member of the Internal Combustion Engine Research Group, his research concentrated on small four-stroke engines. Further post-doctoral research was in the area of discharge coefficients at the discontinuities in engine ducting. He has co-authored two SAE technical papers on the subject of IC engines.
Sullivan Everhart
Founder – Chief Technology Officer
Sullivan is responsible for leading AeroTech Innovations in engine and drive system research and development while searching out new technologies to develop, license, or acquire. After graduating from MIT as a Mechanical Engineer, his career began with AeroTech Dynamics and evolved over the next 35 years to include aircraft, racing, industrial, and marine propulsion systems. Sullivan accumulated a wealth of engineering knowledge along with prestigious affiliations with some of the world’s most recognized experts in the field of engine design. Sullivan holds three engineering patents, has several pending, and has served as chairman of the Society of Automotive Engineer’s Small Powerplant Committee.
