Roul Martin MSc., P. Eng
Chief Technical Officer
Roul is the Chief Technical Officer and co-founder of
Dynacircumotion Ltd. He is a graduate of the University of the West Indies
(UWI) with a BSc. in Electrical and Computer Engineering and a MSc. in Energy Systems and Electric Machines. He has over 20 years experience in industrial automation and PLCs, SCADA/EMS, bulk
power system planning operations, and brushless permanent magnet electric
motor controller design. He has a solid background in hardware and software
programming, which he has leveraged to his advantage over his career.
Roul’s latest innovation is the development of a
ground breaking patented motor controller technology called “Real-time
Efficient & Adaptive Performance Algorithm” (R.E.A.P.A.). The R.E.A.P.A.
technology was developed over several years of trial and error and experimentation
with permanent magnets and electromagnets in Roul’s basement in Calgary,
Alberta since 2013, which continued when he moved to Coquitlam, British
Columbia in 2016. The R.E.A.P.A. technology evolved out of Mr. Martin’s passion
to find a viable solution to the challenges and constraints (based on
conventional methods) associated with the efficient extraction of mechanical
energy from brushless permanent magnet motors, specifically those used in
applications with variable torque and speed requirements. His hard
work and relentless dedication has brought the R.E.A.P.A. technology to the
point where it is currently under engineering development (since May 2020) in
collaboration with the University of British Columbia.
Roul intends to bring the R.E.A.P.A. technology to the industrial and mobility markets for the benefit of his customers and ultimately to facilitate a cleaner environment in the way we transform energy.
Our Technology and Strategic Business Plan
Dynacircumotion Limited (hereafter called Dynacircumotion) is clean-tech start-up company that was incorporated in the province of British Columbia, Canada on August 25, 2017.
Dynacircumotion is currently operating in a 2-year research and development (R&D) collaboration with the University of British Columbia (UBC) on the development of a patented brushless permanent magnet electric motor controller technology. The collaboration with UBC commenced on May 1, 2020 and preliminary results obtained in August 2020 have demonstrated the potential of applying the technology in applications with high variability in torque and speed such as compressors, pumps and electric motor propelled vehicles. The patented technology has been named Real-time Efficient & Adaptive Performance Algorithm (“REAPA”) and is owned by Dynacircumotion.
Dynacircumotion is working to position itself to offer the potential to fast-track the transition to clean energy by improving the efficiency and performance of brushless permanent magnet electric motor & controller systems in key applications.
Dynacircumotion’s “REAPA” technology works in such a way that the efficiency of the electric motor & controller system is maximized in real-time while meeting the performance requirements of the application. The “REAPA” technology also allows the electric motor application to operate efficiently and effectively beyond the so called “base speed” without the need for field weakening. This is accomplished by using the patented “REAPA” control methodology, which is programmed into the motor controller hardware. The engineering details and implementation know-how of the “REAPA” control methodology are currently a trade secret.
Dynacircumotion’s business model is to develop strategic partnerships with companies that are already established in their respective markets, specifically those that welcome innovation in their product lines and have adequate internal technical capacity, growing sales and an existing customer base.
It is Dynacircumotion’s intention to license its technology and where the manufacturing of commercial electronics and associated hardware is required, outsource such activity to third parties. This business model is scalable and requires significantly lower capital investment when compared to building a manufacturing business. This approach offers the flexibility to service several market segments and advance incrementally by building on earlier flag-ship successes.
Dynacircumotion’s goal is to be a strong contender in the electric motor-controller space and transition quickly into a profitable business without impeding growth.
