Nitro-Turbodyne acquires new office space in Santa Monica, Lab space in Camarillo
Liquid Nitrogen (LN2) - the “Cool Fuel”. Clean, Renewable, Inexpensive, Zero Carbon & Greenhouse Emissions & Maintenance Free
Remote Instrumentation Power Generation Unit (RIPGU) - For power to Remote Telemetry Units (RTU) at remote, completed oil and gas wells, remote geophysical observatories - or anywhere that reliable power is needed in any weather, any environment.
The RIPGU is exempt from US EPA or Environment Canada permit requirements for continuous generator operations because it uses the Micro-Flash Expansion Turbine (MFET) - a patented, clean, quiet and maintenance-free technology utilizes Liquid Nitrogen (LN2) as its fuel.
The RIPGU was designed to operate in environments that are too harsh for solar panels, wind turbines, fuel cells or gasoline/diesel power generators. RIPGUs make pilferage a thing of the past, and with its sophisticated anti-theft and anti-tamper technology, each unit is designed to resist theft.
Units are sealed against the weather and provide an earth-grounding strap through each “foot”. Each unit is sized as a standard pallet, with fork spacing consistent with standard forklift pallets. Optional soft-soil and marshland platform available.
Units are available lease for about the same cost as a gas/diesel generators.

The world’s first Micro Flash-Expansion Turbine (MFET) is started in a test chamber in Malibu, California.
The world-first MFET (shown running for the first time, right) ran for 00:01:35 at approximately 15% power before the intitial start-up test was completed. Subsequent tests led to the MFET running for longer times and progressively higher power levels, culminating in a total of 29 hours of cumulative running time, with a maximum power level of 80%. The proof-of-concept prototype, shown here, was retired so that the data could be analyzed and improvements to the prototype could be implemented. The first prototype, dubbed the PA-3MFET is on display at Nitro-Turbodyne’s Lab Facility in Camarillo, CA.
Clean, Cool, Quiet and Maintenance Free!
