AN UNLIKELY ORIGIN
PRIMAE is a Brazilian early-stage startup — though it has been nearly a decade in the making.
TEAM
WHAT UNITES US IS A GENUINE DESIRE TO LEAVE A BETTER WORLD FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
Our senior team brings together researchers and professionals from government, academia, and both small and large companies, with backgrounds spanning aerospace, Formula 1 racing, defense, power generation, semiconductors, IT, and early AI research.
We also share a lifelong passion for engines.
Many of us have worked with nearly every type — piston, rotary, turbine, ramjet — and across fuels including hydrogen, ethanol, methane, gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
The result is an evolutionary synthesis of 150 years of engine development: a new kind of engine, more efficient and capable than anything before it.
Building on fundamental research from Stanford University, we have completed laboratory prototype testing and are now moving toward MVP development and field deployment.
