Mighty yet tiny IC engine !

Could be another pie in the sky engine or maybe a new subject for modeling.

One way roller bearings on the output shaft. One way roller bearings on the other sides output shaft turned counter to the first and you would have the set up they described. One flywheel turning CW and one CCW.

Very ingenious design!

So this is another rotary-piston engine?

Seems like those have been around a long time and never really made it. The theory works, but reality always seems to intrude.

Maybe they figured it out this time

Here's a cool animation of how one works: http://www.rotoblock.com/howitworks.shtml (note; different company, similar "revolutionary! unique! world-changing! PR)

This may be another of the pie engines, as there has been nothing new added to the site since 2006. And on a couple of others sites. It has been the cover engine on Anti-gravity magazine. So don't invest the kids college money. :big:

A few billion in gov funding at a university should be able to make the dream come true in a decade or so.

Whynot, we're funding a study on pig odor reduction right now. This at least could have some remarkable outcomes and implications for transportation industries...I mean if you're just 'giving it away' why not fund the things that have potential. The struggle to perfect magnetic bottling of plasma so we could achieve continuous nuclear fusion could use a few 100 billion or so while we are at it. solar energy storage technology needs some money too! But we get a frisbe golf course in the once great state of Texas' capital city.

Phewwyyeeee I say,

Can't figure out the lubrication. Are they going to mix it with the fuel? Some of us invest in hybrids to cut out emissions and then others......... :rant:

My unemployed neighbor is a Frisbee golf semi pro whatever the hell that is goes all over to play it. Another neighbor asked if he can make any money with it. He said he was counting on the endorsements when he turns pro : I think his chances are about as good as this engine getting 300 million in licensing fees in the next ten years :big:

My thoughts exactly! With all these moving parts, how are they going to lubricate and cool them? That is not explained in any form in the animation or documentation.
