trickydicky43richard Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Bit modern but here is one for the motor engineers, a new engine design, very interesting.https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152222602946743&fref=nf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Interesting technology. Time will tell if it ever gets on the road. It seems difficult to seal the large rotating assemblies against the fixed head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bkazmer Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 bit of Adams-Farwell, bit of Knight, bit of Wankel. Some questions about vibration and cylinder sealing. No data in this video though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan at larescorp Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Interesting... I too wonder about vibration. That seems like a lot of moving parts to try to balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Kinda reminds me of my 5 shot 38 caliber pistol. Only different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhambulldog Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 bit of Adams-Farwell, bit of Knight, bit of Wankel. Some questions about vibration and cylinder sealing. No data in this video thoughQuite rightMy thought was "Wankel with pistons instead of a rotor" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Harmatuk Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Some huge radial hydraulic motors have a very similar design. I used to work on them.Bill H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amphicar BUYER Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 This technology has been around since early 1900s. Maybe with modern tools it can be perfected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMicheletti Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Dont you think that a design that has been around for a century and was COST EFFECTIVE might be under the hoods of our cars today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwight Romberger Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Might be an interesting alternative to the steam turbine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
