Engine will likely offer in excess of 100 mpgAn artist's render shows the overall design of the Wave Disc Generator (Source: MSU/Norbert Mueller)Michigan State University (MSU) mechanical engineering associate professor Norbert Mueller [profile] has invented an engine quite unlike those that the world is familiar with today. It has no transmission. It ditches the piston, valves, and crankshaft. It doesn't need to use cooling liquids. Meet the Wave Disc Generator [video], the engine that could be the death of traditional gas and diesel internal combustion engines (ICEs). When people claim to have a novel alternative to the ICE, they're typically peddling...
