The engine was tested at Pikes Peak in Colorado at 14,000 ft (4,300 m) to demonstrate that it could eliminate the power loss usually experienced in internal combustion engines as a result of reduced air pressure and density at high altitude.
O motor foi probado en Pikes Peak de Colorado a 4.300 m. para demostrar que podería compensar a perda de potencia nos motores de combustión interna, como resultado da redución da presión de aire e da densidade a grande altura.
