TT, you and other guys on this group on top of that shit pretty good, I dunno what to make of it, seems like from '01 yet, that it would be in production NOW if it was all that great....
I did not spot any projections on MPG increases, and power/weight ratios....
if we double the size of the engine, for the compressor side with tanks and shit, don't that double the weight too??
course IF combustion efficiency is actually improved to 80% levels, ....
so WTF??

Nice invention.
I'm not really a fan of that sound however.

Different approach to an idea I've been considering for a while. I haven't been able to come up with what I thought was an idea even worthy of trying, but I may think in a slightly different way now.

I agree.....plus I'm a little skeptic about its reliability.

It looks like this is basically a 2 cycle engine with a internal supercharger.
This may work out, but as someone said above, havn't heard anything about this since '01, so what is the problem?
More often than not, smog control is the problem. Remember the Wankel?
We just retired a 2 cycle diesel emergency generator made during ww2. Couldn't pass the smog nazi's, even though we usually only ran it 12 hours a year--monthly 1 hr test. Oh well, I'm sure the tax payers don't mind paying $97k for the replacement.

So what did ya do with that generator???

Ok so with 2 pistons theres actualy 1 piston firing using the compressed mixture of the 2.
Then wouldn't it be less complicated to go with a flat plane crank like Ferrari does.
you have 2 pistons firing at the same time.

We paid the contractor to haul it off. I'm sure it's going to a Kalifornia certified recycling center (Mexico, ocean, desert, etc.).
Last year, to comply with the smog people, we installed particulate trap mufflers on our diesel busses. Very high tech, stylish, etc., and we all FELT gooood! Then 3 days later when they plugged up and put the electronics into alarm, we found out that we had to install 480 volt heaters that would burn off the soot. Our finest minds didn't know that a in town bus would not get hot enough to clean itself. Fine!! They our genious management realized that we didn't have any place to plug in the 480 volt heaters. So, another $37k of taxpayer money to install a charging island.
Now, about a year later, we are scheduled to buy new natural gas busses.
Guess what? We have no way to fill them! So now we are planning a $200k liquid gas storage and filling facility. Does it never end??
Oh, and by the way, we have had a hiring freeze for 18 mos. and have had a few layoffs. More layoffs to come, because------we are broke. Can't imagine why.

Sounds alittle weird, but its only a one or is that considered a two cylinder. Either way only one cylinder is firing. I would like to hear it as say a 6 or 12 cylinder. I bet it would sound good.
