Can you not see the wood for the Trees :rofl

It makes no odds what engine design anyone makes if it affects revenue for oil manufacturers its dead in the water.

Any claims on efficiency will be countered by claims from those parties who do not want the current state of engine production and oil consumption altering.

In the 1960's Felix Wankel design the rotary engine which reduced the complexity of engine design dramatically.

All the major car companies bought rights to produce the said engines,NSU,Mazda actually produced a engine lol

Felix Wankel was one of the few engineers to make millions from not having his ideas put into major production.

The fact that this new engine is on Youtube on not on the front pages of everyone newspaper in the world is quite obvious, or maybe the engine is crap :rofl

You Yanks like big fat cars with big fat engines anyway,how do we make it go faster? lets make it bigger  :rofl

Efficentcy is a dirty word in the US its loaded with political and climate arguments, everyone who reads this last statment will be loading his gun a milisecond  :rofl



Our roads are much larger and can handle the size. :D

I've seen 50 engines like this get millions invested only to find out the mtbo is 11 hours.

Sooo? this has to end that way? or are you just bored & rather not hope for something better? just asking...to me it takes much more effort to be negative.  :salute

Yes :salute

Everyone is discussing the engne and its design which is very nice :)

The basic idea of the engine is to reduce fuel consumption :)

As has been stated above its engineering dogma, they are continuing up the same same road everytime - "Fuel reduction and efficiency" of oil based fuels,

If steam engine technology had been developed at the same rate as the oil based engines you would have a steam engine the size of suitcase with little internal mechanisms. (ie complicated gearboxes)

In the 1920 steam cars were driving at 120mph

Engine design is based on need to use oil and to maintain the use of oil. (dogma)

In the UK our roads are rubbish and our cars are small and we have the safest roads in the world, then again you cannot drive very fast because we have speed camera's hidden in every tree :rofl

If I had large amounts of money I would buy a E Type Jag and drive all day long :)

its torque is much more important than its horsepower.

 take for instance the 7.3 liter power stroke in the f-350's. ever wonder how only 250 hp can pull down a house? it's because it's making well over 500 pound feet of torque. that's how.

 if this design is making 300hp, and only making 250-300 pound feet of torque, it's gonna be a big disappointment.
300 lb*ft of torque is pretty respectable for a car

"on the dyno generates 240 HP and 487 foot-pounds of torque...." so is 487FP

LOL

I do have a steam engine the size of a suitcase. I made it with only twenty moving parts for a V-6. 100% torque at zero rpm too.....



I am speaking at the world SF convention this year in Chicago. (end of the month)

The UK is just as daft as everyone else :)

We in the UK cope well to criticism we are used to it, so please don't get defensive its only some one who likes pies having a point of view.:ROFL

Oil was the worst thing to happen to the the UK as the economic progress of the nation was turned to the financial sectors of London at the expense of the manufacturing base of the rest of the country. The financial sectors of the UK have over recent months been exposed by their underhand dealings and criminal activities  :rofl

Efficient and more Eco friendly systems for energy use be it "automobile or domestic" is not going to happen when economic systems are based on generation of wealth based on said energy.

Wankel engines for years had leakage problems in regards to the three points in the chamber, apparently this has been solved by development of new alloys and lubrication :)

If I lived in America I would have a big gun and a fat car.




At least the UK is the only place on earth where Tidal powered turbines are being developed.  I'm stuck in an area where they keep building wind turbine factories but nobody realizes they're only expected to last 20 years and are only economical because of huge subsidies.

Although it is cool to see the enormous tractor trailers hauling them around.



Hey Zach, since you probably don't like the Chrysler 300, what about their Charger?


If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.
