I found this on another forum. It weights 150lbs and can produce 800ft/lbs of torque at about 1000rpm.

Equiv. To 32 Cylinder, 4-stroke-cycle Diesel
Bore--mm(in) 76.2(3)
Stroke--mm(in) 95.25(3.75)
Displacement-- Cu in(L) 848 (13.8)**
Compression Ratio 25:1
Oil Cooling
Weight, Net Dry (Approx.) Kg(lb) including flywheel . 68 (150lbs)
Advertised hp (KW) 850(634) NA 3,000 (2,238) SC/TC.

There are no odd or brand new parts within the cylinder. All the parts are proven designs used in reciprocating engines.

The entire engine acts as a heat sink and a radiator. It is both air and oil cooled.

There is no thrust loading on piston skirts.

Pistons do not touch the cylinder walls, only the rings do.

Pistons travel only the same direction. No reciprocation, only stop and go.

There is high rpm potential for all of these reasons.

There are no cylinder heads, no cam shaft, no valves (the equivalent to the bottom end of a reciprocating engine).

Intake compression and power stroke and exhaust stroke events are happening all at the same time, so there are no load strokes.

AND THE DESIGN IS NOT A ROTARY OR WANKEL

 

I honestly don't know what to think of it. What would fuel economy be like?
What does it use for a fueling agaent?
Would have to see it first propel a truck........fast in the 1/4 mi! Would also need to see it produce 25+ mpg's. That's what the new DOD 5.3L that will be in the new 07' Silverado will probably get.

It looks like they are trying multiple fuel types on it right now. They are definately looking towards alternate fuel. I even saw trash/incinerators mentioned as a type of fuel. It's very Back to the Future, but I think they are still far from mounting it in a vehicle. Although moving a truck shouldn't be a problem since they are aiming towards aviation use.

 

wow. that's amazing.........

 

wonder what it sounds like..

 

B.S. If it works, make one and prove it. Allow it to be independently examined. No, he's seeking "investment capital".

 

If it did work, it would be a nice stock to invest into in the beginning.

I don't think you even gave this a look. They have made one, it debuted at the LA Auto Show just a few months ago. They have obviously done testing ...and the only people that have the right to request independent tests would be prospective investors. I'm not saying you're poor, but I think that they are more concerned with the investment likes of GM/FORD, or Boeing. They haven't gone public; they aren't selling stock. ie They don't want your money. I am pretty skeptical by nature too but I don't see any foul play.

I'm not looking for an arguement... I just want my friggin' jetpack. The one they promised I would have by now when I was a kid.

 

Remember when all cars were going to have a turbine engine or a mini-atomic reactor or a fan at each corner instead of wheels so it could fly. They even had prototypes but they also had major flaws in mechanics and reason. You and I would love to see all the specifics of this new engine but they're not available. Like cold fusion, water-burning engines, and 200mpg carburators, there's always some obscure reason why it can't be revealed and needs just a little more money. Here's an explaination of how this new engine works:

That link is some funny $hit!
