Emhart/Tech Briefs Contest 2005 Entries Description of Entry 292 Description: The MYT (Massive Yet Tiny) Engine is a revolutionary internal combustion engine for the next millenium. The first prototype model exerts 850 cubic inches of displacement even though the size is only 14" diameter by 14" long, weighing in 150 lbs. The reason why the MYT Engine is so huge in displacement is because of frequent firing. It fires 16 times in one rotation, making it equivalent to 32 cylinder, four stroke engine. We received US Patent #6739307, and announced the birth of the MYT Engine to public during the SEMA Show last week in Las Vegas. The basic principle is the following. There are two disks each connected to four pistons in a toroidal cylinder. The disks rotate alternately generating the four stroke principles between the pistons. There is no need for valves since the position of the pistons allow wide open port to breathe air. The MYT Engine has been tested with fuel and air motoring on our Dynamometer. The calculation of the 850 CID is the following. CID = pi * radius * radius * stroke * # of pistons (firings) = 3.14 * 1.5 * 1.5 * 3.75 * 32 = 848 cubic inches. The application of the MYT Engine is in all kinds of transportations, automobiles, trucks, airplanes, ships, and distributed and stationary power generations. The MYT Engine with four more ports also works as air motor, air and liquid pump, and air and liquid compressor, with positive displacement, high volume, and high flow. Amazingly, the part count is less than 25 parts even though it's 32 cylinder
What does it sound like with glasspack mufflers?
Answer the simple questions:
How many horsepower?
How much torque?
How many MPG for any given power/weight ratio?
These don't matter. It's massive, yet tiny.

You have something against the word "for"? You avoided using it twice. Just kidding.
Sorry, fat fingered typing in the dark
There are videos and tech info on the engines and it's principles at www.angellabsllc.com
It's 850 HP from 150lbs, with only 25 moving parts.
You can guarantee the chinese will copy it asap.
I want the 2.4 liter ( 4.5 inch dia) version for my jetskii.
I'm working on getting more info thru work, we want to build one.
I, too, have a massive yet tiny engine.
But perhaps I've shared too much.
Hmmmm. Investment material?
Cue up the opening chords of "Gigantic" by the Pixies, lol.
Who did you share ut with?
But perhaps it's none of my business.
Fat man in a little coat! Fat man in a little coat!
Anybody who'll start the motor... :^)
They do need investment capital. According to their site, they haven't actually tested it with actual fuel, because if there's a problem they won't have their only MYT to take to Demonstrations with them...
When you quadruple your money in that, perhaps you could fund my brake design. Instead of converting braking to deadly dust and heat, my system converts braking to energy stored in both a battery and fly-wheel system. I've never been able to interest anyone in it and I don't understand why. It's such a reasonable and green concept.

Sounds like a garbage to me. If they don't have enough faith in their own design to test their engine why should anyone else waste their time on it.
Sounds like yet another snake oil salesman.
"Sounds like yet another snake oil salesman."
Their website is long on photos and what little information there is, is poorly written to the point that it casts suspicion, imho. I'd like to be wrong about this, but you're probably right in your assessment.
Last video shows it running briefly on something.
Principle is sound, but seals are going to be a big problem.
Is that a crank start, or do you jump-start it?
