Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Very interesting and good find. The Wankel rotary engine uses a similar idea but is not currently fuel efficient, just light (a 2 rotor wankel has 3 moving parts). It also uses side ports.

MedicSN6 Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 Yeah I was waiting to put my thoughts on it before I read more about it but the initial look makes me think it is revolutionary. Could change the small engine transportation game for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donziboy2 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Id rather not have to buy gas at all....... From the video it almost looks like a really simple turbine? And yes its nothing like a Wankel. It would be nice to shave a few hundred pounds off my RX-8 thou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Its like a expanding gass turbine, as the fuel burns it expands and causes the turbine to spinn. Maybe be a fuel cell is better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
