CAT GEN Explained: The Ultra-Efficient Catalytic Generator Transforming Clean Power

The Delta Cosworth CAT Gen is a next-generation catalytic generator designed to deliver clean, efficient, and flexible power for today’s and tomorrow’s electrification needs. Unlike traditional engines, the CAT Gen runs a smooth catalytic reaction instead of a flame, resulting in lower emissions, reduced noise, and higher efficiency.

In this video, we break down how the CAT Gen works from intake to exhaust — including its compressor, turbine, recuperator, catalyst zone, and high-speed 35 kW generator.

🔥 What Makes the CAT Gen Unique?

Catalytic reaction — no open flame, no combustion spikes

Fuel-agnostic: works with liquid & gaseous fuels, including future clean fuels

Recuperator heat-recovery system that captures exhaust heat

High-speed turbine spinning up to 110,000 RPM

Compact, quiet, low-vibration design

Extremely high efficiency due to reclaimed thermal energy

⚙️ How the CAT Gen Works (Simplified)

Air intake → enters high-speed compressor

Compression → air becomes hot & dense

Recuperator → exhaust heat preheats compressed air

Catalyst zone → fuel reacts on catalyst (not a flame), reaching ~1050°C

Turbine → expanding gases spin turbine at 110,000 RPM

Generator → converts mechanical rotation into 35 kW of electricity

Heat recovery → exhaust re-enters recuperator, leaving at only ~350°C

🌍 Applications Across Industries

Electric vehicle range extenders

Aerospace: drones, air taxis, hybrid aircraft

Construction & mining: clean onsite power

Emergency response and disaster zones

Remote communities & microgrids

Industrial machines and mobile equipment

🌱 Why It Matters

As industries shift toward electrification and cleaner energy, the CAT Gen acts as a crucial bridge technology. It runs cleaner than traditional engines, accepts multiple fuel types, and provides reliable power anywhere.

🔧 Fewer moving parts = lower maintenance
🎧 Quieter operation = deployable in sensitive environments
♻️ Reduced emissions = ideal for a sustainable future
