HOW DO WE CREATE CONTINUOUS, STABLE POWER DELIVERY OF RENEWABLE ENERGY FROM VARIABLE SOURCES, WHILE MAINTAINING A LOW CO² FOOTPRINT FOR PRIVATE AND PUBLIC CONSUMPTION?

ADI Thermal Power Corp. has designed a revolutionary, high-temperature Stirling cycle engine to provide clean, low-cost distributed power. A design breakthrough, the Dual Shell™, enables the engine to provide industry-leading thermal-to-electric efficiency of up to 45%. And because its heat source is external, the engine can run on any fuel source, including natural gas, propane, or even renewable solar. Further design refinements significantly reduce production costs and operating costs, resulting in a revolutionary game-changer in power production.

who we are

ADI Thermal Power Corp

ADI Thermal is an engineering technology company dedicated to eliminating the world’s need for limited, dirty fuel sources by introducing systems to enable affordable, clean, continuous generation of electric power. By incorporating sound engineering, lean manufacturing, and shrewd business practices, ADI seeks to capture the markets profit potential to advance the the worlds clean power initiative.

ADI Vision

  • Become the recognized thought leader in the energy industry; Radically transform the worlds energy infrastructure by enabling renewable energy to be the primary, cost effective energy source worldwide..

  • Technology

    ...ADI Thermal Power Corporation has used these same criteria to develop its patented, high-efficiency Dual Shell Stirling Engine™, which provides the world’s most efficient conversion of heat to electricity available today. The engine is based on the most energy efficient heat cycle known: the Stirling cycle. ADI Thermals patented Dual Shell design improves on that efficiency (by 25% !) by enabling a much higher engine operating temperature...

  • Background

    Wayne Bliesner, founder of ADI Solar Corp. (ADI), is a 20 year Boeing engineering and scientific veteran. In 1999, with the help of co-founders Gerald Fargo and George Weinmann, he founded high tech startup Alternative Designs Inc (ADI) in order to pursue development and commercialization of his several inventions. In 2000 he left Boeing for ADI to focus on developing an ultra-high temperature Dual Shell Stirling engine. The engine was developed to provide the highest efficiency heat to electric conversion, while still maintaining costs to make it an affordable and market-changing solution. In Oct 2000, at the urging of it's investor base, ADI split off its Stirling Engine technology into a seperate company; ADI Thermal Power Corp - focused solely on the Stirling Engine. Over the next 8 years, ADI Thermal evolved the engine/genset into it's present pre-commercial glory, overcoming finanical obstacles that would have failed less persistent companies. Yet the engines technologies greater potential had not yet been made evident - its potential to make mainstream solar power generation a reality....
