Well, then, I suppose the clock is ticking!
Seriously, from everything I’ve heard, ALL PATENTS ARE BREAKABLE.
But I’ve sat on this for quite a while, and am extremely, extremely interested in what the actual operational characteristics would be, and the applications.
A buddy of mine who is a fairly good engineer in his own right takes a look and he practically started drooling...
“motorcycles...”
Just seems to me there is no way you could build this thing and have it not be far, far more efficient than a standard 4 or 6 cylinder engine. You never lose any of the angular momentum.
Neither do jet engines, but that makes them powerful...not fuel efficient.
