new type of engine
 

this is pretty bad ass

This is the worst combustion engine ever. period. At first I saw pictures of what appeared to be some crasy wave form combustion chamber, but when I actually bothered reading it its just a piston with the crank shaft running straight down the centre.:smilie_d0

2 cylinders making 250 hp, 8 making 1000 and still gettign good fuel economy and it can run on anything flammable. guess its a bad design, lol

I saw some yrs back this guy who's new type of engine appeared in some hot rod type mag. It made a loud clapping type sound, was metal but was intended to maybe be ceramic, weighed like 80 pounds, generated 800 ftlbs torque and gobs of HP. <-- this one was promissing when it made public appearance and kinda looked like a mini airplane propeller engine from the outside but the pistons were slid around inside and werent connected to a rod, something like having 5 wenkle rotary engines spinning on a central shaft. I remember also seeing it on SPEED chanel or on TSN way back when.

Theres also this guy whos made (or stole ideas) an engine with a shite load of high tollerance parts and supposedly makes loads of power, never really gets hot, and runs on anything - some dude in Etobicoke looking for investors

then theres this thing --> http://www.theaircar.com/howitworks.html I dont put much stock in it tho

Soo many ideas, some big company will just shmush it, or buy it and shelv it like everything else

Price pointt?

This is insane!! I love the idea, It reminds me of the round based engine, It had nothing but spherical shaped internals and had TONS of torque but little power! Kinda like a Wankel :) lol

its a 2 stroke motor its to be expected that they have 2x-5x the output of a 4-stroke motor.

edit: Honestly did you read it all? it's a traditional 2 stroke engine with a crank running straight down the middle of the combustion chamber, thats all.
