TransVolt is combining old, proven electrostatic motor and high-voltage generator technology, developed in the middle of the last century at the Massachussetts Institute of Technology, with today's innovations in materials, electronics, manufacturing, and design. Unlike common electric motors, high-voltage electrostatic motors can operate at ultra-low currents with very little energy wasted as heat.  This gives our motors a major efficiency advantage over conventional systems, both when powering a vehicle and when regeneratively braking. Plus, they're smaller, lighter, and cheaper than conventional options.

Our focus areas include developing advanced systems that can be installed in existing ships to filter out ultrafine particulates from engine exhaust, leading to cleaner, easier, lower-cost systems.

The Pacific Northwest has been the home of many major players in the worldwide technology space, and has great resources for a cleantech company like ours. We're making full use of those, building close relationships throughout the academic, engineering, and business communities.
