New Engine Technology Ping!...................

[Psalm 73]

Sounds like a radial?

Ping

Swash plate — https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swashplate

Inefficient at converting linear reciprocating to rotary motion.
No valve and ports — dirty on I burned hydrocarbons.
High compression — dirty on NOx.

Going nowhere..

Make it a turbo Diesel and I’m in.

[Yo-Yo]

It looks like an overgrown automotive AC compressor. No mention of emissions or fuel efficiency.

AC Compressor operation

Aviation could use an engine like this. I see them as an early adopter, plus the simplicity may mean more time between overhauls.

The other use would be standby generators. They are noisy and heavy now.

[Disambiguator]

Another unique design that’s been around for a while:

[DaxtonBrown]

This is a swashplate engine, which has been done before. People have tried most of this technology. Not saying this isn’t the Holy Grail, just saying I ain’t holding my breath.

“The estimate is that it’s probably a process of a couple years to get it to production ready,”

Multiply by five, at least.

It’ll never work. The camliner in the heel plate will be dust after only 1000 kbms. They keep trying to foist these gimmicks on a gullible public, but just wait till the flaksticker blows out at a million cycles plus and the exponential hydra effect will level a city block.

“Charge motion development will further improve our combustion efficiency to approach that of a conventional 4-stroke.

There is currently some oil required for the seals to work and this can add to the emissions, however our consumption is far less than that required for a 2-stroke or rotary.”

Maybe it’ll be the new weedeater engine ;- )

[taildragger]

The rotation inside a rotation has me worried. Dyna-Cam had valves, I often wondered why their wasn't a 2 stroke version. Some things I have read about synosodial motion might have wear problems...

I don't know if it ran the best barrel engine concept IMHO is here: http://www.google.com/patents/US20080302343

Most under noticed engine? The Erickson Motors Full Expansion Engine: http://www.ericksonmotors.com/

The guys that might have solved the Charge Cooled Wankel issues and are here now? The Rotron with their water cooled shaft and unique way of cooling the rotor(s): http://www.google.com/patents/US20140140878

Duke has been developing this engine for 22 years. Here is a good summary of axial piston swash-plate engines.

Please note that “no axial IC engines have achieved any sustained success”.
