Manufacturing
PowerVerde, Inc is in a unique position to manufacture the components of the electrical generation systems. One of the principals, George Konrad, owns and operates a manufacturing facility, Arizona Research and Development (ARD), which is capable of producing all of the manufactured parts needed for the PowerVerde renewable power systems. PowerVerde has entered into a contract with ARD to manufacture machined parts for the PowerVerde patented motor as well as assemble the motors and Organic Rankine Cycles(ORC). ARD will also test and qualify all systems under a ridged quality control program. ARD only manufactures the motors and parts for the ORC.
ARD has been involved in the development of the PowerVerde systems and is uniquely positioned to continue on to the manufacturing process.
All machining will be done by CNC lathes and machining centers owned by ARD. As production increases it may be necessary for ARD to subcontract certain components or enlarge the present facility.
The design and tooling process of “rapid prototyping” has been employed by PowerVerde and ARD throughout the developmental program using solid modeling CAD, Stereo lithography, Finite Element Analysis, Computerized Fluid Dynamics (CFD), CAM CNC machining and other techniques developed by the aerospace industry. This process produces products that are ready to go into mass produced manufacturing immediately upon completion of the testing program.
Natural Gas Pipeline System
The manufacturing, assembly and engineering of the Natural Gas Pipeline Energy Recovery Systems takes place at Global Machine Works, located in Arlington, WA. Global Machine Works is an aerospace firm that delivers thousands of parts to Boeing, Bell Helicopter, Cessna and other high tech companies. Global is capable of mass producing large quantities of the Natural Gas Pipeline Energy Recovery Systems to exacting aerospace quality.
Fred Barker, VP Engineering of PowerVerde, Inc., is supervising the manufacturing, assembly and testing of all of the Natural Gas Pipeline motors and parts at Global Machine Works under strict aerospace quality control conditions.
