BERGENIZEİ
Is the Bergen Engineİ 100% environmentally friendly?
Yes, absolutely.
Back to Top
Will Bergen Enginesİ be marketed world wide?
Yes, to all major towns throughout South Africa and the USA for a start.
Back to Top
Is the Bergen Engineİ/Motor superior to existing engines and
motors?
Yes, vastly superior. Especially in terms of power-to-weight ratio and economy.
Back to Top
How soon can I buy a Bergen Engineİ for my car?
You can place your name on a waiting list already.
Back to Top
Where does the initial pressure come from and how long will it
last?
From our compressors in the factory. The engine is self-replenishing and will last as
long as any electric motor, but no burn-outs will occur.
Back to Top
Do you make very small and very large engines?
Yes. From micro-motors to those that drive generators in power plants.
Back to Top
Why has nobody else thought of this before?
It is very much like the Internet. Someone has to start working on the basic idea
first.
Back to Top
Do you have scientific proof that it works?
Yes. Can we e-mail you more information?
Back to Top
How much fuel does the Bergen Engineİ use?
Absolutely zero - directly/indirectly
Back to Top
What are some of the things that you make Bergen motors for?
Motor vehicles, Trucks, Aeroplanes, Helicopters, Power Plant Generators, Mines, Sewing
Machines, Stoves, Refrigerators, Washing Machines, Dishwashers, Vacuum Cleaners, Computer
Drives, Motor Cycles, Yachts, Ships and everything else that requires power.
Back to Top
How far can I travel in my car and what is required at that
distance?
Approximately 100,000 km non-stop if your food and drinking water lasts.
Back to Top
What does a major service cost and what will need replacement?
The same as for a major service on a medium sized car. Certain seals, rollers, bearings
and lubricants will need to be replaced.
Back to Top
What is the power-to-weight ratio?
Approximately 5 to 6 times better than in a conventional engine.
Back to Top
Can I travel across the States and back on one charge of
compressed air?
Yes, very easily.
Back to Top
Who invented the Bergen Engineİ and how long did it take to
develop?
Jacques van den Berg, a born-again Christian from South Africa. Jacques is a
theologian. 60% of all technology is invented by non-technologists. It has taken Jacques
30 years to develop the Bergen Engine.

Does
Bergen International uphold the principle of freedom of religion?
Yes. For example, our present representative in Canada is a devout Muslim.
Back to Top
Where are the first Bergen power plants going to be built?
In a large number of city centres, suburbs and industrial areas throughout the world,
within 3 to 5 years.
Back to Top
What drives the Bergen Engineİ?
Compressed air pressure (or hydraulic pressure) only.
Back to Top
How often do I have to fill up with compressed air?
Never. The ancillary compressor does that for you on a continuous basis.
Back to Top
How safe is a Bergen Engineİ?
Safer than a gasoline/petrol engine. Critical parts have been 200% over-designed.
Back to Top
Does the engine require battery assistance?
No. It only has a standard 12-volt battery for the electronic components.
Back to Top
How extensive and costly is a conversion from a normal combustion
engine to a Bergen Engineİ?
Not costly at all. Bergen Engines are designed to fit any bellhousing. Electronics and
controls are fitted. The cost is equivalent to an increase of approximately 40% of the
price of a new or used vehicle. Two-thirds of the fuel saving are passed on to you.
Currently total fuel costs can be higher than the cost of the vehicle. So you laugh all
the way to the bank.
Back to Top
Is the Bergen Engineİ noisy?
No, it's quieter than an electric motor.
Back to Top
What are the maximum revs of a Bergen Engineİ?
7 000 and we are working towards 10 000 and more.
Back to Top
How do you start the Bergen Engineİ?
When the engine is switched on, a valve opens and air flows into the engine from the
reserve pressure vessel, causing the engine to start rotating immediately in any weather
condition.
Back to Top
How do you keep the Bergen Engineİ cool?
The Bergen Engine runs at near ambient temperature.
Back to Top
Does a Bergen Engineİ accelerate better than a
gasoline/petrol/hybrid engine?
Yes, the Bergen Engine's specification in each class is streets better than anything
ever manufactured before. You can add to that our turbo boost on certain models.
Back to Top
Can a Bergen Engineİ rpm be altered very quickly in a power
plant generator?
Yes, extremely quickly and accurately as the demand for current fluctuates. It is a
power plant owner's dream.
