Axial Vector Engine 8 cyl

[TheEgoblitz]

How does AVEC figure that this has less parts than a conventional engine?

[Checheraguto]

@TheEgoblitz Well, the poppet valvetrain part count is huge, thus it shaves those numbers exponentially, however, less parts doesn't always mean less weight...

im so building one of these...

[novacaine159]

Looks like it has terrible thermal efficiency

[danieldonatelli]

made the pistons into electrodes and produce hydrogen with in same engine

What I like about this engine is its "simplicity"... I'm being sarcastic. Compare to stirling or, why not, an ac induction motor. Really.

Isnt this design used in torpedoes?

[CreazioniPinnacolo]

@hcanuck7 similar design is. they use a swashplate motor run by compressed air.

[8inlinea]

awesome!

I'm a model engineer and it really would be great to try to build a real specimen of your design, is it possible to have a copy of the drawings? please feel free to send me a private message, thanks!

Can this engine run on Hydrogen?? Can the timeing be changed o top dead center??
