After completing the 5.5" engines, the company plans on building some 8" diameter engines that could put out as much as 400 horsepower, while weighing only 37 pounds, yet being able to replace V-6 and V-8 engines.

More horses with less weight and size under the hood would be great; do the MYT engines come with corresponding torque?

Cool. Bump to read later.

If they could mate that engine to the Chrysler Turbo Encabulator Transmission, then they'd really have something.

It’s a cross between turbine and piston-cylinder firing engines. Cool.

Tell me, please, that no one is believing this hocum.

[OneWingedShark]

Show me cars, airplanes, and/or boats that are USING this engine... then I’ll believe it actually exists.

SirKit says the main problem is going to be heat dispersal.

[Zathras]

My first pass assessment is the floating pistons will tend to thrust outward on compression quickly causing the cylinder walls to wear uneaven.

Heat will also be a major problem.

I was following this company about 5 years ago, and posted about it here a few times.

When they first hit the internet, they had a pretty vibrant forum. They had a person who represented himself as an engineer to answer questions and there was a lot of information passed back and forth.

A number of engineering students joined the forum and started asking questions that were never answered. As they delved into the diagrams and started to doing calculations, the claims started looking impossible, when the questions turned into demands for proof, the forum disappeared with a note that the forum was being moved to a new server and would be back up in a couple of days. It’s been awhile since I’ve looked at their site, but the same message is probably still there.

I’m amazed that he is still promising to build that working model, he was finishing that thing up early in the last Bush term.

It sounds cool but one thing that an engineer brought up that really hit home, a 700 kilowatt engine (the 8 inch model) has to dissapate 1.4 megawats of heat. The inventer claimed it would not need liquid cooling.

Rest In Peace, old friend, your work is finished.....

If you want ON or OFF the DIESEL ”KnOcK” LIST just FReepmail me.....

This is a fairly HIGH VOLUME ping list on some days.....
