About Adams Atomic Engines, Inc.

Adams Atomic Engines, Inc.

Rod Adams founded Adams Atomic Engines, Inc. (AAE) in September 1993 with the help of friends and family who believed in his vision for a clean, safe, cost effective alternative power system.
In May, 1994, the US Patent Office recognized that Rod's design for a control system for a closed cycle gas turbine was a unique invention and awarded US Patent number 5,309,492. AAE began the long process of bringing a completely new power system - based on proven, replicable components - to the market.
By the summer of 1996, following a steady drop in fuel prices resulting in oil near $12 per barrel and natural gas near $1.70 per million BTU, Rod and the other AAE investors decided that the world was not quite ready to buy enough Adams Engines^TM to allow a chance for immediate business success. AAE underwent a cost cutting effort to bring annual expenses to a sustainable level in a move to provide the endurance to be ready when the market conditions changed.
AAE continued to maintain its informational web sites (http://www.atomicengines.com and http://www.atomicinsights.com), refined its design approach, learned more about business operations, and invested in deep market research.
By 2000, it was clear to AAE principals that the energy market was shifting directions to a more supply constrained, higher price environment at the same time that people began to understand the environmental effects of continuing to increase the rate of fossil fuel consumption. Adams Atomic Engines, Inc. began the long process of waking from a several year long slumber.
Several new contributors became part of the AAE development team, bringing valuable experience in business development, market research, finances, regulatory relationships, and custom machinery manufacturing.
AAE is now positioned to provide a true alternative to continued oil addiction. Its system is simple, provides multiple safety barriers, includes large design margins and should be able to pass muster with the most stringent regulatory regime in the world.
