| MTT’s Future has a
Foundation in its Past |
| |
| “Wing
In Ground” craft. MTT was awarded a
contract to design the propulsion system for our Korean
partner, Wing Ship Technology. A fast ferry that flies
above the ocean surface via a cushion of high-pressure
air between its wing and the water. |
| |
| |
| The 1400 HP Propulsion System with
custom 10 foot prop for the Wing In Ground craft
develops 4,800 lbs thrust. It can be designed for
forward, neutral and reverse; variable and fixed prop.
Industrial Workboat applications include prime power for
firefighting, dredging, trenching, wireline boats, marsh
clean-up, utility & powerlines, EMS & rescue, and
general workboat transportation. |

| Industry
Standard vs. Extraordinary |
| It's no secret that
Turbine Engines have a greater power-to-weight
ratio than reciprocating engines and have been the industry standard in
aviation for years. Yet in an extraordinary show of turbine innovation,
MTT turned the industry on its head by successfully installing turbines
into non-aviation machines. |
| |
| Initially the focus was high performance
Boats with projects ranging
in diversity from a 14-ft airboat to a 32-ft Eliminator™ to even a 92-ft Sportfish™. But soon came the desire to test the potential of turbine
power in other markets. |
| |
| |
|
MTT diversified and developed the first turbine-powered
Outboard sanctioned
by the US military for noise attenuation and a stealth heat signature.
This model has a 318 HP Rolls-Royce turbine installed. |
| |
|
| |
| As a further illustration of turbine diversity, MTT engineered
turbine powered automobiles. The RetroROCKET™ custom hot-rod is street
legal and 420 HP. |
| |
| |
 Recently
MTT designed a 420 HP Mini Cooper S conversion. The factory engine was
left as-is under the hood and the turbine was installed in the rear for
an all wheel drive vehicle. |

|
| |
| MTT not only designed the first turbine-powered street legal
motorcycle, but also the most powerful production bike in the world: the
Y2K Jet Bike, predecessor of the MTT Turbine SUPERBIKE™. Featured
heavily in the Media including the Warner Brother's® movie "Torque" and
holder of two Guinness® World Records, the Turbine SUPERBIKE™ has been a
showstopper since it was introduced. |

| |
|
| |
| Leading Turbine Innovation |
| Having produced the ultimate high-performance machines, MTT moved to
the industrial marketplace. Consequently, the fully transportable
turbine-powered Fire Pump system and water delivery unit was born,
ranging in capacity from a 1,000 GPM airboat to a 16,000 GPM shipboard
unit. Turbine power ranges from 420 HP to two each 1,400 HP engines in a
single package. |
| |
 |
| The 4,400 GPM Unit can fit in a Truck Bed. |
| |
These compact units support offshore supply vessels, port security,
oil production, irrigation, water jetting, and even flood control in New
Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
The 8,000 GPM X 4 units are FiFi 2 Class compliant.
A double cabinet that produces 16,000 GPM is available in an 8’ X 9’
footprint. Two 16,000 packages equal FiFi 2 Class.
A 10,600 GPM package complies with FiFi 1 specifications.
½ FiFi’s at 5,285 GPM are also available. |
| |
 |
| Four 8,000 GPM Units equal FiFi 2 specifications. |
| |
|
| |
| MTT recently embarked on an emergency vehicle design combining the
versatility of an airboat with 1,000 GPM fire-fighting, EMS, and rescue
capabilities. The MTT Turbine Fire-Fighting Airboat™ is powered by a 420
HP Rolls-Royce® turbine engine featuring an electronic control system
managing all starting procedures, fuel consumption, and engine
governing. This innovative, amphibious emergency vehicle is akin to a
Swiss Army Knife, with a multitude of applications housed in a 16’ – 22’
package. Landing gear was installed so the airboat can drive on city
streets or across fields. |

Frac Stack Pack |
| As head of technology for our oilfield service partners, MTT
designed and built the first fully integrated “Frac Stack Pack”. These frac units use a 3,850
HP turbine to drive a 2,000 to 2,700+ HHP pump. |
| |
 |
| Frac Stack Pack. Two 3,850 HP turbines drive two
pumps. |
| |
| Due to its small size and weight, MTT can customize two on a trailer
with a control house. Three on a trailer can also be configured. At
23,000 lbs per Stack Pack wet, a single frac unit can be placed on a
small bobtail for tight roads and difficult field access. Proven
emissions reduction of up to 80% less than a diesel engine running on #2
diesel fuel. Bio fuel ready. |

Turbine Nitrogen Pump |
| Nitrogen is used to fulfill many oil well stimulation
requirements. But there are size and weight limitations governing how
much volume can be delivered via the conventional diesel-powered pump
trucks. MTT has solved this problem by designing the
MTT Turbine Nitrogen
Pump™, providing greater product capacity with the smallest power train
footprint possible (420 HP - 3,800 HP), thereby leaving more room for
larger storage tanks. |
| |
 |
| Nitrogen Pumper. A 420 HP turbine for prime
power.

Vehicle History 1928: Opel's
RAK 1 ran up to 47-mph for a few seconds before they called
the project off.
1945: WWII was over and the spirit
of the jet age was everywhere. Car manufacturers intended
to make the jet car the vehicle of the future.
1950: While GM® was inspired by
tomorrow's fighters, the British company Rover recreated
yesterday's bombers. The Jet 1 was not aesthetically pleasing,
but it was the world's first gas turbine car and was tested
up to 152-mph. GM® saw their future in the sky, and set
out to produce jet fighters that ran on the ground. In Firebird
I, steering, acceleration, and braking were all controlled
using a single joystick. It traveled 230-mph.
1954: Fiat® releases La Turbina,
a streamlined coupe with huge fins, jet-fighter exhaust,
and a racing paint scheme. Its 200-bhp powerplant pushed
it to 155-mph, using a combination of wheel drive and jet
thrust. Chrysler® took a more practical approach by installing
a turbine in a standard 1954 Plymouth™, confusing
people with its whistling and roaring sounds.
1956: GM's® Firebird II was futuristic
in both appearance and design. The Firebird II could be
driven hands-free by an automatic guidance system. The central
stick would fold away, locking into a signal from a strip
in the road, and the cones in the front jet scoops would
align the car with the strip.
1958: Wildest of all was the Firebird
III, with nine fins and twin bubble canopies. It had an
automatic guidance system and single-stick control as well.
It also had power gull wing doors, a trunk floor that could
be raised for easy loading, and a small piston engine to
run all the accessories.
1961: As a response to the innovative
ideas coming out of GM®, Chrysler® produced the Turboflite.
In addition to a jet turbine engine, the Turboflite had
a wrap-around windshield attached to the roof. When a door
was opened, the entire top, including the windshield, raised
automatically, pivoting at its hinged rear edge. Side windows
were hinged at the roof and swung out as the top lifted.

1998: MTT creates
the RetroROCKET™. Equipped with automatic transmission,
power steering, air conditioning, power brakes, power electric
windows, cruise control and more, this truck is capable
of traveling over 600-miles without re-fueling.
2000: The year
2000 is greeted by the introduction of the Y2K Jet Bike,
predecessor to the MTT Turbine SUPERBIKE™, the world's
first turbine-powered motorcycle produced by MTT.
Powered by an Allison-Rolls Royce® engine, the bike features
SmartStart™ ignition, full-color flat screen digital
dash, forward-and rear-seeking radar detector with laser
scrambler and more, securing MTT's place in the turbine
vehicle history books.
2011 - The Future:
MTT is exceeding the bounds of turbine innovation with a
turbine-powered hybrid vehicle. Emission friendly,
it runs on bio fuels. The powertrain uses a 420-hp turbine
for on-demand power generation then stores it for DC power
to operate the vehicle on all four wheels. This concept
vehicle can run on DC, prime turbine power, or the original
reciprocating engine if desired. Truly visionary,
it is ideal for personal use, long haul trucking, public
transportation - such as busses - and especially for military
transport, where electrical propulsion and a low heat signature
are required for stealth situations.
