Imagine dumping the big V-8 in your SUV for a 25-pound, 2.4 liter engine that gives you 150 miles per gallon on biodiesel - with a boost in horsepower and torque to boot. Meet Raphial Morgado and the little engine that could... With up to 40 times the power to weight ratio of a conventional engine, flexible fuel compatibility, a displacement of 850 cubic inches and the torque of a 32-cylinder engine, the MYT is the beginning of a new paradigm for engines in the 21st century!
"The inspiration for the MYT Engine design came from the need to have an engine that can stand up to the tremendous abuse of drag racing. After literally blowing up more than my share of engines during racing, I swore to myself that I'd build something that met the required needs while providing higher-durability & reduced complexity in the process. Also, because this design was originally intended for the output demands of the drag-strip, I wanted a design that would give me the largest displacement, highest torque, and lightest weight available. The Massive Yet Tiny engine meets those needs, with 850 cubic inches of displacement, 32-pulses per cycle, and a 150 pound package measuring only 14" by 14" in diameter."
"By replacing an 800 pound V-8 engine with a 25 pound MYT and running it on biodiesel, we can achieve 150 miles per gallon in an otherwise conventional vehicle -- plus, you're going to have better take-off and stopping power by removing that 800 pound engine. That's what we can do. It is achievable." - Raphial Morgado
The MYT engine is the result of a $4 million dollar R&D project undertaken by Angel Labs LLC to build the ultimate internal combusion engine. Inspired by drag racing, inventor Raphial Morgado designed the engine with a focus on power, torque, and fuel-efficiency to meet the hefty demands of the today's automotive applications in a lightweight package. The result was a revolutionary design with a power-to-weight ratio up to 40 to 1, over 3,000 ft/lbs of torque, and a diesel-mode mileage in excess of 150 mpg!
This series of 3 videoclips provides an in-depth look at what the MYT is, how it works, and why it's important. The "Los Angeles Auto-Show Presentation" features a 10-minute commentary on the technology by inventor Raphial Morgado, and provides details on the background of the engine and what makes it so unique. The "MYT Engine Description" clip is a 5-minute narrated animation providing a walk-through on the operation of the engine and how it compares to traditional interal combustion technology, and the "MYT Engine Testing" video shows both a closeup rotation of the cylinders in the Angel Labs prototype, as well as 2 minutes of test-videos shot with the MYT in dyno-testing on a 150-psi non-combustion airstream.
Do I have to go through the explanation? You can look it up on the links I've posted. The piston heads create the top and bottom of the chamber. As the machine rotates, the relative position changes, thus the full capacity of the cylinders is reached by a factor of 16 (I think) for every revolution. (And I'm only counting the firing strokes.) Do the math, 850 ci of firing chamber displacement is what you get.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!
D@mn! Just add a kitchen sink, an extension cord, and a waiver for the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, and we can ride that baby to the MOON!
Let me guess, the mpg drop to about 1.2 when you add a 110-lb passenger or an air conditioner ...
And, just for effect, let me add:
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!
You have got to be one of the biggest wankers on FR.
It does but it would look a lot better if they put an engine in a car or truck and drove it for a few thousand miles.
And speaking of wanking, it seems that you've been completely wanked by the scammers who put out this article. Again.
D@mn, boy, learn some physics before you lose any more money.
Educate yourself, ya dink.
They aren't taking money from schlubs like us. Personally, I hope they're on to something. I want a car that can smoke the tires at 70mph, and get 100 MPG.
OK...believe it when I see it. 850 CI...hahahah! Right!
Hey, don't forget the "miracle cow magnets" of the 70's that were to increase MPG by 30%.
There's a flash movie on the site, and in their forum, there are pretty lengthy discussions about the internal mechanisms of the engine. One thing that's interesting- the torque curve is so broad, no flywheel is needed- in fact, you may not need a transmission at all.
I'd like to see an AWD car with one of these things at each wheel.
Try figuring the volume of air pumped per revolution. You'll get it.
Buy a clue, donk. They've taken money from investors that will never be repaid. They have demonstrated precisely nothing but hot air. Are you really too stupid to understand that? Want to buy some Florida swamp land? How about a nice big busy bridge?
What do you make of this? PONG!
Oh, and buy another clue, donk, that's called a motorcycle.
There's a product that was once marketed directly to diesel truckers- it was basically an oil filter that operated by centrifugal force- the particulates were separated by the spin of this thing, which was powered by the engine. (I'm going from memory here...)
It was presented to a lot of folks, and it was mostly laughed at- much like the mouthbreathers who have chimed in here. Eventually, though, Mack picked up the idea, and it's now parrt of the standard design of their engines.
If my facts are wrong, please correct me- it's been years since I heard that story.
I just mention that to say- not everything is a scam, and not everyone is a ripoff artist.
I think we need to start a perpetual-motion-machine ping list for these scam press releases.
Edison was an inventor.
