Blackburn Energy Announces Allowance of RelGen™ Patent

AMESBURY, Mass., Dec. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackburn Energy, Inc. announced immediate availability of RelGen, a new technology that eliminates dependency on a truck's alternator to generate electricity. RelGen, an innovative solution applying the principles of kinetic energy recovery systems (KERS), like those used in Formula One racing, captures energy that otherwise is lost while braking, converts it to electricity, then saves it into a battery array. The stored energy can then be used in almost limitless ways—to power electric Auxiliary Power Units (APUs), like Thermo King's Tripac and Carrier's ComfortPro, that heat and cool the cabs of long-haul trucks, or to power liftgates and accessory systems.

"We're thrilled that the USPTO has allowed our patent and are excited to focus on new RelGen sales to fleets and independent truckers," said Peter Russo, President at Blackburn Energy. Mr. Russo, a recognized leader in scaling clean tech manufacturing, was recently named to the Board of Directors of both Greentown Learn, the not-for-profit spinout of Greentown Labs, the largest Cleantech startup incubator in the U.S.  and M-Corps, an accelerator for cleantech startups funded by NYSERDA.

Positive Customer Impact
Customers will benefit from installing RelGen. The product eliminates the dependency on the engine's alternator to create energy. RelGen's new approach to capturing energy is easy to install and has a return on investment of less than a year. Other benefits to using RelGen can include saving thousands of gallons of fuel through the elimination of engine idling and improved overall fuel efficiency, as well as lowering maintenance costs by reducing engine wear and saving on diesel particulate after treatment costs all by removing the electric load from the engine.
