Dr. Donald M. Gorber, P.Eng., a seasoned expert with more than 35 years’ experience in the energy and environmental field and president of SENES Consultants Limited, has provided a letter of support for Mr. David Strain’s innovative invention—a patented diamond-shaped hydraulic actuator.
Following a detailed presentation and rigorous testing conducted alongside Dr. Mehran Monabbati, a senior energy scientist, Dr. Gorber confirmed the actuator’s 17% efficiency improvement over conventional pistons. This innovation demonstrates reduced hydraulic fluid usage to perform equivalent work, showcasing significant advancements in energy efficiency and performance.
Dr. Gorber emphasized the invention’s potential impact, noting its ability to elevate scientific understanding of thermodynamics and energy efficiency in pressurized fluid systems. He highlighted that, while similar principles were noted in a historical 1874 patent, Mr. Strain’s work leverages modern technology to achieve superior results.
With further development, this invention could contribute to reducing energy consumption and reliance on fossil fuels, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change.
