Your wrong on both … Your wrong on both of your accounts. You obviously haven’t watched the video where it tells you that they have actually solved both of those problems with new patented designs. Watch the theory of operation video. The Scuderi Group is quite familiar with these issues that’s why this is such a breakthrough technology. BECAUSE THEY SOLVED THE PRIOR BREATHING PROBLEM AND COMPRESSION PROBLEM OF OLDER SPLIT CYCLE DESIGNS.
Actually this … Actually this engine can run on any type of fuel that a conventional engine today could run on. So yes, HHO (brown’s gas) could work. In fact, the Scuderi Group has stated that because of the 4x faster flame speed and the fact that it fires after top dead center you can actually use an octane fuel lower than 87. (87 is the lowest octane fuel produced in today’s market so making a lower octane can also lower gas prices) This engine could run on a fuel closer to 85 octane just as efficiently.
I’m have to agree … I’m have to agree with targink658 that you are not very smart or open-minded to make the comments you made. Cajun you obviously have no technically background with the technology or the open-mindedness to think outside the box and go outside conventional thinking. Thats why you having come up with a great idea yet! You shouldn’t be negative to new ideas that have potential to impact the market well when a technology like this could actually enhance the so called electric hybrids your so fond of.
All of my Comments … All of my Comments are directed towards conoba in response to his comments that clearly show that he has no engineering background what so ever. Just a tip for the future well-being of yourself. If you want to succeed within engineering you need to take risks, learn from your errors, and think open-minded. Just because there are laws or rules sent in place that we follow today doesn’t mean that they are right it just means we haven’t found them to be wrong yet. Always keep this in mind.
The combustible gas … The combustible gas is not being transferred through the transfer passage only compressed air is. The gas is still injected to the power cylinder directly. I think the problem is that most people just don’t understand the technicals about how this engine works.
A combustion engine … A combustion engine(Gas,Diesel or fairy dust) at high RPM and with pretty extreme fluid dynamics. AKA, whats in your car! A gas simply does not go from Cylinder A to Cylinder B because you ask it nicely. You need a certain amount of time and a pressure differential.
Moving mass from cylinder A to cylinder B uses either lots of energy ,resulting in lost pressure or it uses more time than feasable.
A car engine is a pretty extreme thing. The material stress and the fluid dynamics are extreme.
however air that’s … however air that’s being lead to the combustion piston, while the combustion is taking part, could help feeding the inner explosion or not?
conoba i think you … conoba i think you misunderstood!
(browns gas) is not a brown colored gas.
its hydrogen and oxagen as made on demand
by a highly efishent electrolisis.
known also as HHO, and hydroxy.
you can serch these names for the gas here on you tube.
again i beleave it would be a good fule for this engine!
This has a mayor … This has a mayor design flaw that makes it only work at low speed.
A normal car engine charges by actively sucking in the fuel air mix and it has half a revolution to do it. This design is limited by the bottleneck between the cylinders and has to rely on a small pressure difference alone to fill the work cylinder in an insanely short timeframe!
This will certainly never perform as well as a normal car engine due to the fluid dynamics.
If you mean that … If you mean that batteries can hold their charge without use for longer than an air tank, moot. I think most of us drive our cars, and would thus be charging our cars at home everyday. You know that the air tank in the air car IS a battery right? It holds energy and releases it when asked, and we use the properties of the air tank to hold compression as the medium to deliver the power. It seems that a single carbon fiber tank should last pretty much forever, so they have a LONGER life than batt.
So your focus would … So your focus would be on a technology that you seem to believe will not serve its users for very long, batteries. I didn’t go there because batteries are HUGE and HEAVY as well as bad for the environment to mine their resources and to dispose of after they are done with their life. Now the air car gets > 100 miles range on a single fill of air, and batteries will get you around 40 miles nowadays. So how are batteries better at storing energy for long periods?
An air-hybrid … An air-hybrid system is the best hybrid system I know of because of it’s comparably easily disposable, low cost, low weight, and the materials are readily available.
No I doubt a purely … No I doubt a purely air care is a better solution. If you’re going to eliminate the engine all together then you’re better off with a battery because batteries can more efficiently store energy for long periods of time. However, among a myriad of other problems, there’s not even enough material (e.g., lithium) in the world to have everyone use batteries.
Aah, combustion is … Aah, combustion is such an old idea, and people are still trying to work with it or improve it. When you stick with combustible fuels, you set yourself to be a slave to those that deliver the fuel. Eliminate fuel, and WE are in charge, not those that mine the resources. Plus, the combustion engine, with it’s valves and many other moving parts is just a lossy model. I’m convinced that the current version of combustion engines should be scrapped forever. Do you agree that air is better solution?
So you don’t have … So you don’t have any specific ideas?
There’s no reason this engine couldn’t be used as a purely air car. You’d just fill up the air tank at a station and use both cylinders to power the crankshaft.
with ENERGY. If … with ENERGY. If that energy comes from combustion at this time, so be it. But developing combustion cars does not let us get away from combustible fuels, or selling the Earth for her resources. In areas with renewable energy, the energy provided to compress the air would come from a renewable source. And once renewable energy is more prevalent, then you will be harnessing mother Earth while you charge and drive!!! The wind could blow you to work essentially!
Surly the ignited … Surly the ignited gas will flow back up the tube at such speed that it will beat the valve closing up the other cylinder… causing a rather bad problem!
Anyone explain to me why this doesn’t happen? hah im confused

Problems:
1. compresses air valve leading to combustion cylinder is open during combustion
2. Hybrid: once air compressing piston no longer compresses air it has no purpose and simply creates drag on the crankshaft
