They say it's capable for a 500cc engine to produce 100HP and 65ft/lbs. That's 30 cubic inches. Theoretically a 5.3 using this type of engine would be producing 1083 HP and 705 Ft/Lbs.

 

I love new concept engine stuff.

little guy looks badass

I have seen that, it's very interesting.

 

I'd like to see it in person. The fact that it's 2 cycle kinda threw me off for a bit, but if they're really able to get 100 HP out of 30.5 CI ... I'm willing to listen.

 

interesting, would be sweet for boating!! imaging that 100 mpg?

 

would be sweet for everything

 

I did the math out for the HP & Torque numbers, comes out to 100HP at 8000 RPM.

 

I had a 500cc Honda 450 motor that put out 70 HP to the tires ha ha. Not to bad being that it was a semi small cam and had to work with the head that Honda gives you and there are obvious limits when porting and reshaping. This was 4 years ago so I know the technology is better with making HP now.

 

yup. 2 or 3 in a boat, 1 for each prop.

you'd skim across easily & still get over 30mpg
