IMDS is engaged in an innovative research project to develop and test a more energy efficient, quiet and light weight Permanent Magnet DC generator that potentially has a broad range of military, automotive, utility, industrial and commercial applications. A patent associated with the design features of the generator has been issued and other patents are pending. In addition, significant progress has been made in the testing and certification of the new generator design.

• Low speed / high outputs
• Light weight
• Quiet running
• 200 Amps to run versus 500 Amps

• 400 Amps to start versus 1000 Amps
• Can start engine as well as run apparatus
• Runs cooler (cooling system not needed)
• Totally enclosed (increased life expectancy)

The application opportunities for the generator are numerous in both the military and commercial arenas.

• Military - Can assist in meeting the mission critical needs of fielded forces by building quieter generators for combat situations that can last significantly longer than 200 miles.
• Commercial - Electric Vehicles, hybrid vehicles, windmill technology and thousands of commercial applications that potentially benefit from the design features of the generator.
