Interesting engine design
I thought you guys might find this intersting.I am curious to see if this makes it into production on maybe some small equipment to see how well it really works.

Re: Interesting engine design
crazy, i saw a lawnmower on there. is that was they are wanting to market these engines for?

Re: Interesting engine design
Well I think they have there sites set on bigger things like buses,cars etc.I would imagine you would start with small stuff to get some long term reliability testing etc.The only downfall about the site is that they are obviously not going to list and negatives about as they are pushing it.Looks like a pretty solid design though.

Re: Interesting engine design
Weird, i guess it makes sence, i'd like to see one in action though (in a vehicle, not a lawn mower) just to see how it would stack up

Re: Interesting engine design
Sport Compact Car did a write up on it and another weird design. I haven't gottn around to reading it yet though.

Re: Interesting engine design

Re: Interesting engine design
At a recent auto show I think Mitsu was saying they were developing a prototype AWD car w/ the 'engines' in the wheels as such where the rotors would normally be. I'm pretty sure it was Mistu. I'll mod this if I find a link.

Re: Interesting engine design
very interesting. I've been reading it nonstop. I would like ot see the end result of this new engine design though

Re: Interesting engine design
seems like it would work good, but do they have any actually working, i just saw a bunch of animations ???

Re: Interesting engine design
2160 ft lbs of torque at 7.2 leiters? holy ----.. but it says its "estamated" so who knows.

Re: Interesting engine design
I have been reading the whole thing bit by bit and it does sound quite interesting as displacement is easily changed etc.I wonder why though if it is a great design, how come it's not in use?
