These water jets are precisely directed onto corresponding Pelton blades. Compared with directing hot gases alone onto airfoil blades, the OGT approach enables many-fold greater impulsive energy transfer. Energy that would otherwise be lost as exhaust heat is instead converted into usable mechanical power. The result is a turbine system that extracts significantly more work from each unit of fuel while operating at far lower component temperatures.


Inherent cooling and material simplicity


A frequently overlooked advantage of the OGT architecture is inherent thermal management. Because the turbine blades are driven by water jets, they are continuously cooled during operation. This eliminates the extreme turbine inlet temperatures — often exceeding 1400°C — that define conventional gas turbines. As a result:


● OGT turbine blades do not require exotic, rare-earth-based superalloys;


● readily available industrial-grade alloys can be used;


● dependence on foreign-sourced critical materials is reduced or eliminated;


● blade life, durability, and maintenance intervals are significantly improved. This material simplicity not only reduces cost but also enhances supply-chain resilience—an increasingly important consideration for utilities and governments alike.


Revolutionising gas turbine combustion


At the heart of the Openiano Gas Turbine lies the groundbreaking Openiano Combustion System, enabling unmatched performance and efficiency. Thanks to this innovation, the OGT delivers up to 80% fuel savings, at least 50% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, NOx


levels below 2


ppm, and very low carbon monoxide output. Unlike conventional gas turbines that rely on continuous and spontaneous combustion, the OCS employs a sequential combustion system across 12 combustion chambers. Air and fuel are injected and ignited 1.5 seconds apart in a controlled continuous cycle – resulting in significantly improved combustion efficiency. Rather than using the traditional Brayton cycle to directly power the turbines, the Openiano Combustion System first channels the combusted air–fuel into a high-pressure


storage tank. This intermediate step dramatically enhances fuel economy and reduces harmful emissions.


By maintaining combustion chamber temperatures at below 600°C, the OCS minimises NOx


emissions and eliminates the


need for exotic, heat-resistant metals in turbine blades. This low-temperature operation also makes the OGT uniquely suited to hybrid transportation, freight and shipping applications. The Openiano Gas Turbine introduces an unprecedented 18-second combustion cycle, made possible by the proprietary Openiano Combustion System (OCS). Unlike conventional turbines, the OCS features 12 combustion chambers that ignite sequentially 1.5 seconds apart, creating a continuous and highly controlled cycle (12 x 1.5 seconds = 18 seconds). Each combustion cycle is divided into three distinct 6-second phases: Phase 1 - Intake (0-6 seconds): high pressure air and fuel are precisely admitted into the combustion chambers.


Phase 2 - Combustion (6-12 seconds): The air– fuel mixture is ignited, and the resulting high energy gases are directed into a pressure tank for optimised energy storage. Phase 3 - Remnant recirculation (12-18 seconds): Residual combustion gases are purged from the combustion chambers and redirected to the secondary intake port of the main compressor. These remnants are mixed with fresh ambient air to prepare for the next intake phase.


This deliberate 18-second cycle ensures more complete combustion, significantly reducing carbon monoxide emissions and improving overall efficiency. By giving each chamber ample time for full combustion and gas evacuation/ recycling, the OGT sets a new standard for clean and efficient gas turbine operation. The benefits go beyond emissions and efficiency. Lesser combustion temperatures mean greater durability, longer intervals between overhauls, and easier maintenance. Frequent startups and shutdowns have no degrading effect on components, making the OGT ideal for a modern, flexible energy system - in tandem with battery energy storage systems.


Low temperatures, more complete combustion, improved performance By design, the Openiano Combustion System maintains combustion temperatures below 600 °C — a stark contrast to traditional gas turbines.


This low-temperature operation: ● minimises NOx


formation; Pelton concept ● produces NOx levels below 2 ppm; ● results in as much as 50% less CO2 emissions;


● achieves very low CO emissions; and ● eliminates the need for heat-resistant exotic metals for turbine blades.


The combination of low emissions, high durability, and fuel flexibility positions the Openiano Gas Turbine for a wide range of applications, including stationary power generation, hybrid transportation, maritime propulsion, and freight systems, where efficiency, reliability, and lifecycle cost are critical.


A transformational impact on global climate change The stakes could not be higher. If OGT technology were deployed to replace existing gas turbines worldwide — representing approximately 2.5 TW of installed capacity — the release of over 1 billion metric tons of CO2


could be prevented every


year. That impact is comparable to eliminating all fossil-fuel-powered vehicles in the United States and Europe combined. This is not a marginal improvement. It is the kind of quantum leap required to keep global warming within the critical 1.5°C threshold.


Searching for strategic partners As the Openiano Gas Turbine advances towards commercialisation following successful validation milestones, the next phase of development will require collaboration with experienced industry partners. Orentrix Inc is actively seeking strategic partners — including industrial firms, power generation visionaries, gas turbine OEMs, power generation integrators, and infrastructure developers — with the technical capability, manufacturing capacity, and commercialisation expertise necessary to bring the OGT from validated prototype to global deployment. Importantly, the Openiano Gas Turbine is protected by a strong and expanding intellectual property position. The US patent has been formally allowed, with publication dated 23 October 2025. In addition, worldwide protection under the WIPO Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) has been filed across major industrial markets and is currently pending, with issuance anticipated in due course. This robust proprietary foundation secures the core architecture, combustion methodology, and system integration framework of the Openiano Gas Turbine, ensuring that strategic collaborators engage with a defensible and exclusive technology platform. Such partnerships may include joint development programmes, licensing arrangements, co-manufacturing structures, or deployment-focused validation initiatives. The objective is to accelerate commercialisation while industrialising the technology to the highest standards of performance, reliability, and safety — under a framework that preserves intellectual property integrity and long-term value creation for partners. Organisations interested in exploring strategic partnerships, technical collaboration, or commercialisation pathways are invited to engage in further discussion.
