 dynamo micropower Dynamo Micropower is developing a 10kW class gas generator (genset) that can be rapidly deployed in wide ranging applications.  Our initial product, the Dynamo Turbocore 7.5 leverages state of the art gas turbine technology in a highly portable package, while being cost competitive with reciprocating gensets on the market today.  The Turbocore can run on all manner of fuels from vodka through JP-8, as well as natural gas and propane, and its oil-less bearing system means minimal maintenance requirements during times of need.  Furthermore, units can be stored for years and can be brought online at a moment’s notice.  With only two moving parts, Dynamo’s ultra-microturbine requires only  annual maintenance and provides a significantly longer operating life over reciprocating solutions.  By approaching microturbine design with a perspective focused on market price and functional needs, we are developing a simplified architecture that enables further miniaturization and mass scale manufacturing of microturbines.
