latimes.com Summary: <Capstone Turbine Corp. a Woodland Hills maker of industrial engines that generate electricity and heat, churned out a little heat of its own Thursday when it raised nearly $130 million in an initial public offering and its shares tripled in secondary trading. Capstone, whose early investors included Microsoft Corp. co-founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen. Threatening Capstone's prospects are a host of rivals said to be developing similar products, including Honeywell International Inc., Europe's Volvo-ABB and Japan's Mitsubishi Corp. Expected to come to market later this year is a Capstone microturbine that generates 60 kilowatts. Another version of the microturbine has been incorporated into energy-efficient buses used by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. The company plans to move its production facilities and offices later this year to a 98,000-square-foot plant in Chatsworth. > Turbines are very fuel efficient and clean [can be]. In conjunction with a flywheel would be a good vehicle propulsion system. The Chairman of Compaq [a physicist] was also a founder. What this space! Reciprocating engines are industrial age equipment [highly developed though they might be]. There aren't many moving parts in turbines! They run smoothly, quietly, efficiently, weigh little per power output, etc, etc... With a Globalstar aerial on the roof and a turbine under the hood, life would be sweet. Mqurice
