Blackburn Energy Inc. secured funding through a Series Seed Equity Round to fuel growth through sales of its flagship product, RelGen a patented battery charging solution that saves fuel, improves truck uptime, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.  RelGen is an innovative charging solution that applies the principles of kinetic energy recovery systems (KERS), like those used in Formula One racing.  RelGen captures energy that otherwise is lost while braking, converts it to electricity, then saves it into a battery array. The stored energy can be used in limitless ways, including to power electric APU's, like Bergstrom's NITE or eCoolPark that heat and cool the cabs of long-haul trucks. "In a very small package, Blackburn has eliminated the need to upgrade the alternators on engines," Bergstrom Managing Director and Principal Engineer Sean Connell said
