Our mission is to provide the knowledge and tools necessary for every engine manufacturer and even hobbyists the ability to create Bourke Engines for every practical application.
The Bourke Engine uses detonation instead of conventional combustion and achieves true HCCI with double the efficiency of a conventional engine.
