Hetex Engines Inc. is a small research company with the mission to develop and market an engine that will provide higher gas mileage for automobiles. Overall, we are developing engines that are both more efficient and less expensive for the portable power needs of society.

Portable power drives the world's mechanisms such as automobiles, SUVs, pickups, motorcycles, tractor trailer trucks, locomotives, tractors and farm machinery, aircraft, model airplanes, tugboats, ships, lawnmowers, chainsaws, leaf blowers, auxiliary electric power plants, forklifts, bulldozers, backhoes and many other mechanical devices. Four-stroke engines as devised by Nikolaus A. Otto in 1876 dominate these small to medium power products where long life, low cost, and low fuel consumption are more important. The smaller mechanisms which include model aircraft, leaf blowers, chainsaws, outboard motors, and motorbikes generally use gasoline powered, two-stroke engines as devised by Robson in 1877 and 1880 and later improved by Day and Clerk. Two-stroke engines produce high power-to-weight at low cost per HP.
