@MrTfournier I'm guessing he works for GM

@died4hislove I already told you why that design wont work. and conventional engines are inefficient because of primitive valve timing, friction and spring returned valves and that the piston ribs against the cylinder wall all the time.actuated rolling cylinder valve can fix the valve issue, a rocker piston on pivot off to the side in a curved cylinder can solve the wall friction issue and run without lubrication

GREAT !!!!!!!!

ONE MAJOR REASON WHY A CONVENTIONAL ENGINE IS NOT EFFICIENTSay piston stroke= 3 inches. The crank arm rotation distance from TDC to BDC =pi( 1.5)= 4.715 in.Crank arm excess rotation distance before piston reach BDC=4.715- piston stroke=1.715 in. NOTE:Piston travel has no delay if: piston stroke= crank arm rotation distance from TDC to BDC.Due to large amount of PISTON DELAYED TRAVEL more heat energy is lost to the engine frame & jacket.Solution: see,SUPER-EFFICIENT ENGINE (PART 3)

dude how much time did it take you to model all those parts????

wow cool animation i good idea i just used was to download it and use spiro creator to make a screensaver out of it no mi screensaver is a building of this engine lol

I've got questions. How many parts does it consist of? How many sub-assemblys? What was the total work time, and did you do it all on your own? It is very nice and I have to do a 9 Cylinder Radial Aircraft Engine all by myself.

I don't see where you're getting that from. 1967 Camaros weighed roughly 3,300 pounds, yet they had a full metal body. They were relatively light in today's standards. The fifth generation Camaros weigh nearly 4,000 pounds.How does less weight get more power to the wheels? It doesn't, unless you're talking along the lines of a lightened driveshaft, or a more efficient transmission or differential.I'm a fan of the Ford 4.6, as well. There are a few around making over 800 RWHP.

Neat animation - now it's time to fire it up! |
