Green Machine

, emission-free construction equipment for the burgeoning Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. Jon firmly believed he could develop a zero emission drive system that is every bit as powerful and reliable as those that are petroleum based. To achieve this goal, Jon partnered with physicist Noah Podolefsky and—several iterations later—arrived at a battery and drive system that meets, and in many measures exceeds, the comparable torque and horsepower of a diesel engine. Current applications of Green Machine’s drive systems include hydraulic excavators, portable trailer-mounted light towers, and stand-by power systems for computer servers and critical data storage equipment.
