Please keep in mind that what you’ve just posted qualifies as “publication,” and you may be ineligible to obtain a patent on said idea if you delay filing your patent application more than 365 days from today.
From someone who has multiple patents ... in mechanical patents, there is a BIG DIFFERENCE between paper and working prototype. Invest in the time / effort / money to build a working model. Once you can show that it will work, you will have much more capital available to you. Until then, it’s just another (good) idea.
I hope you get rich, make tons of money, live a life of total luxury and donate portions of your largess to worthy charities.
I just forwarded this to myth busters
Now I am getting 350-360 miles on a full tank. Cost of installation with my mechanic = $450 + $97 for the e-book!!
All is explained in details from the e-book, including the vendor market place at www.waterbeatsgasprice.com !!!
Where does combustion take place? Why the spring? It will just absorb the energy, and convert it to heat. Why?
How does the fuel/air fed to the system? Why a piston at all? Why not just a chamber or bucket of sorts, for the expanding gases to react against?
Why is the piston so small? How much energy transfer do you expect to get from such a small surface area?
How is this an improvement over a standard rotary engine?
The drawing is way to basic to make any kind of assessment.
When you build the prototype, you’ll find out why it won’t work.
I’m not “getting it” either.
look, if you supplied pumped water through the crankshaft and out that cavity with the piston, the rotor would turn- like a lawn sprinkler. If that’s the concept the piston prevents it from working.
I am not a lawyer, but I think you need one, because I think you just disclosed yourself out of a patent in non-U.S. markets, assuming you do indeed have something to patent. (I’m assuming you’re in the U.S.)
“In many cases, a provisional is filed the same day as a public disclosure of the invention, which disclosure could otherwise permanently jeopardize the patentability in non-US countries having strict requirements on “complete or absolute novelty.” In other cases the provisional application is filed soon after such a disclosure in order to preserve only the inventor’s U.S. patent rights.” [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provisional_application]
“The filing date of an application is important as it sets a cutoff date after which any public disclosures will not form prior art (but the priority date must also be considered), and also because, in most jurisdictions (notably, not the USA) the right to a patent for an invention lies with the first person to file an application for protection of that invention (See: First to file and first to invent). It is therefore generally beneficial to file an application as soon as possible.” [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent_application]
“Disclosure is the details of an invention which is made available to public. This may be deliberately revealed outside the patent system so as to make the invention unpatentable...” [http://www.hjventures.com/patent/patent-inventions.html]
“Under U.S. patent law, an inventor has one year from the date of first disclosure of the invention to file a U.S. patent application. The United States is the only major industrialized country in the world that allows for a public disclosure prior to the filing of a patent application. In the rest of the world, an “absolute novelty” rule is used. This rule bars patent protection for, in most cases, an invention that has been disclosed to the public any time prior to the filing of a patent application.” [http://www.essp-law.com/patent.htm]
I’d recommend talking with a patent attorney immediately.
Given the details you’ve supplied there is nothing to make the piston go up and down except the rotor which is to be made to move by the piston going up and down.
Unless there is a WHOLE lot more not shown you’ve got a perpetual motion machine.
Any thoughts as to how you will deal with thermal expansion when it runs?
Also, please realize that the majority (I don’t know the actual percentage, but I’ve heard it is very high), of people who try to get a patent, lose an awful lot of money.
Patent Lawyers are very expensive, and it can take a lot of work to do all the research yourself.
Back in the early 90’s, I consulted a patent lawyer. Initial
costs then would have been in the area of $10,000. I’m sure it’s much higher now.

I think you have put the flux capacitor in backwards.
