The propulsion system was developed in consultation with Victor Wouk, then an electrical engineer at Caltech.
During the 1960s and 1970s, Wouk got involved in electric and hybrid vehicles; he successfully converted a Buick Skylark vehicle with a 20-kilowatt direct-current electric motor and an RX-2 Mazda rotary engine.
