Item 8.01  Other Events.

     On July 15, 2008, a director of sales of Capstone Turbine Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), gave a sales presentation that could
indicate that orders for the Company's 200-kilowatt ("C200") microturbine have
shipped and stated that more than 5,000 microturbine production units have been
sold since the Company's inception. As of March 31, 2008 the Company had shipped
over 4,000 systems and had 426 systems in backlog. As of the date of this
report, no commercial C200 microturbine orders have shipped. The first
commercial C200 microturbines are scheduled to be shipped in September 2008 and
as of March 31, 2008, the Company had 60 units or 12 megawatts in total backlog
of C200 microturbines. More information on the sales and scheduled shipments of
the C200 microturbines can be found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
