The next step in OBE long journey.
“I have not failed. I've just found 1,000 ways that won't work.” —Thomas Edison
Every transformative technology passes through three phases: concept, development, and commercialization. For the 4-stroke automotive engine, this journey spanned 37 years—from 1861 to 1898—until the Benz Motorwagen became the first mass-produced car.
The development of Kamtech’s On Board Energy (OBE) system followed a similarly demanding path. Fueled by dedication, not full-time effort, our mission was clear: to conserve energy and build a cleaner, more peaceful world.
Like the scholars whose innovations often remain buried in technical papers, our team faced countless setbacks. With perseverance, we often went to the authors themselves, who had hands-on experience in solving problems. The development was inspired and instigated by Professor Antoni K. Oppenheim, who outlined the original vision in a 1982 SAE paper. Early support was given by famous mechanic Smokey Yunic. Mark Beierle, of our first licensee, Earthstar Aircraft, helped perfect the platform, producing prototypes # 3-5. The production version in flight is seen above. Then, more recently, Professor Huynh Thanh Cong advised us on the final phase of the development. But history proves one truth: success is born from relentless iteration.
🚀 Ready for the Next Licensee
After years of redesigns, rebuilds, and rigorous testing, we’ve created a production-ready design of the Rad Cam engine, a compact, efficient power source that outperforms conventional 4-stroke engines in ease of manufacture, robustness, thermal efficiency, compactness, and cost. A modular design that has been:
- Proven in light aircraft

The Rad Cam Team players
Professor Antoni K Oppenheim
The person who ignited the Rad Cam Revolution
Professor Antoni K. Oppenheim was more than a scientist—he was the guiding force behind a new era in combustion engineering. A pioneer in his field, his journey began in the 1940s, contributing to advanced aircraft engines in the UK after escaping war-torn Poland. Understanding internal combustion is one of engineering’s greatest challenges—where flame fronts, pressure, and temperature dance invisibly in confined, volatile spaces. Few dared to rethink the venerable Otto cycle. But Professor Oppenheim saw its limits and envisioned better ways to manage IC engines, which he recorded in several publications for future engineers to discover. Armed with endless curiosity and groundbreaking ideas, he became a quiet titan of innovation. His wisdom shaped the Earthstar Rad Cam engine, and many of his insights proved foundational to its design and performance. “He never shied away from problems we brought to him. Instead, he would give us several possible solutions.” His legacy lives on in the Kamtech On Board Energy unit—a design poised to become the Emancipation Proclamation of electric mobility. By liberating EVs from grid dependence and battery excess, his influence gives new freedom to manufacturers, drivers, and the future of transportation. Though his presence is deeply missed, his vision continues to illuminate the path forward.
Smokey Yunick
Maveric of motion!
Few names carry the weight in engine design that Smokey Yunick does. Renowned for his legendary work with Hudson, Ford, and General Motors, Smokey wasn’t just an innovator—he was a force of nature. In 1991, when Duncalf committed to building the “ideal engine,” he turned to Smokey. Within days of hearing Oppenheim’s challenge, Smokey responded with a game-changing insight: the constant acceleration cam profile. This bold idea reduced initial force while increasing dwell time at either end of the stroke—boosting power, efficiency, and durability. Smokey’s obsession with reclaiming waste heat and improving fuel economy directly inspired the Rad Cam’s internal cooling system. His belief in our work was fierce, unwavering… and contagious. “When Smokey believed in you, you had no choice but to rise to it.” That belief helped shape our engine into what it is today. The Kamtech On Board Energy platform stands as a tribute to Smokey’s genius and unrelenting faith.
Mark Beierle
Engine designer/builder
Mark Beierle, owner of Earthstar Aircraft Company, was the first licensee of the Rad Cam engine. Leading his team through multiple prototype iterations, he played a crucial role in refining the design. The final prototype—a production-ready version—provided undeniable proof that Professor Oppenheim’s theories on combustion dynamics, documented in his papers and books, were correct. Together, Duncalf, Yunick, and Beierle transformed Oppenheim’s concepts into a functioning engine with a thermal efficiency approaching 50%—a groundbreaking achievement in powertrain innovation. Beierle’s expertise in engine design, his relentless dedication to building and testing, and his determination to see the Rad Cam succeed were instrumental in turning it into a practical and efficient power source capable of revolutionizing the EV sector. Had the economic crisis of 2008 not disrupted funding opportunities just as he was seeking seed capital, the project may have moved forward at an even faster pace. His efforts laid the groundwork for Kamtech's On Board Energy technology.

D James Duncalf
CTO and Patent holder
💡🚗Duncalf’s vision for energy independence is shaped by a pivotal story from 1923. At just 15 years old, his father engineered a wind-powered generator to electrify the family farm—decades before rural electrification reached the region. Using salvaged railroad signal batteries, he stored enough energy to power the property, earning local recognition as the “electric farm.” That early innovation was short-lived. Twelve years later, authorities dismantled the system and required connection to a centralized, coal-powered plant operated by private interests—effectively ending independent energy generation on the property. This early experience underscored the tension between individual ingenuity and consolidated energy control. Today, similar dynamics persist. In many countries, major energy providers are seeking legal exclusivity in motive power markets. These efforts raise questions about how energy is generated, distributed, and regulated—and whether current methods prioritize public interest, sustainability, or safety. “From windmills to Rad Cams, the drive for independent, cleaner energy continues.” Duncalf’s work with Kamtech reflects a commitment to innovation that resists conventional limitations and reimagines what’s possible in energy design
