Nice design! I was doing some research on a new concept design involving moving the ignition point to 45 degrees ATDC. I think this design has a good potential for implementing that concept. I think that the closer ignition is obtained to 70 degrees ATDC the better for obtaining the best leverage and fuel economy. This concept is definitely a step in the right direction. A small one but you got to start somewhere.
this is for a large gap the best engine design that i found on the internet my question is how many stroke this engine is i guess that is a two stroke engine because combustion happen every stroke of the secondary piston the one in combustion and i also guess that the sound is similar to the two stroke engine!
nope this engine is still considered a four stroke because it is still performing all four strokes, but on PAIRED cylinders. The power cylinder fires EVERY revolution you have to remember that as well.
hey another question what do you think about the hho revolution? because i dont trust on this kind of tecnology because violate almost all thermodinamic laws i mean can you really take more power out of the hidrogen that you produce with electrolisis than the power you put in to to separate the molecules of "H2" and "O"
I'm not quite sure I understand your question. Hydrogen has absolutely nothing to do with the Scuderi Groups technology. Though it is an internal combustion engine and can run on HHO gas. The whole idea and process of extracting hydrogen from water is not a practical one. This engine was designed to run off of exhisting fuels, but dramatically more efficient. I can probably answer your question even though its off topic if you rephrase it.
What about the power consumed powering the compressor piston? Doesn't that reduce the overall efficiency? No mention is made of this in the video. My gas/electric hybrid uses no gas while stopped in traffic and gets twice the gas mileage of a similar vehicle running on gas only. This air hybrid design still idles when stopped in traffic. I only see a small percentage gain at best by this design, and probably not enough to justify the re-tooling for manufacture.
you sir, are an idiot ! my horse and buggy use NO gas, and only fart while standing still in traffic, which Increases harmful emission gases. This technology is beyond your comprehension. There is far less re-tooling for manufacture than for electric hybrids, much less expensive than your almighty "batteries", and have you thought of the disposal of all of those dead batteries ? Find someone who knows a thing or two and you will achieve greater understanding
I prefer to be called a skeptic. Batteries have been recycled for 100 years now about as long as this split-cycle idea has been around...batteries are proven, split cycle design was tried and discarded over 100 years ago.
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 technical background with the technology or the open-mindness to think outside the box and go outside conventional thinking. Thats why you haven't 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 enhace the so called electric hybrids your so fond of.
Personally, I feel electric hybrid are impractical for cars because they are heavy, expensive, and have no power, but I would never say it wasn't a good idea because it was a solid attempt to try something different from exhisting technology. Don't be a closed-minded, conventional person because when it comes to engineering if you are you won't get very far. Also, you can't be a skeptic to something you don't comprehend and theres nothing wrong with saying you don't understand something.
You would recharge the air-tank while stopped in traffic. Then you'd use that stored energy or some portion thereof to power the crankshaft when the light turns green.
My rotary piston engine are 95% efficienct unlike piston engines that are about 20% to 25% efficient. My rotary engine fires at TDC with full power stoke unlike the power curve decrease at 90 degrees.
Hey there, Just let you in on a little correction. Your statistic about conventional engines is just flat out wrong. The conventional engine of today is actually 33% efficient. I'm not sure where 20-25% came from?
Interesting. Where do you inject fuel? compression side or power side? If the crossover valve is still open during the power stroke, how do you avoid the flame front working its way back up the crossover? One of the problems in some engine designs (particularly turbines) is the shockwave acoustics which can cause the flame front to "reverberate" backwards. It also seems like flame speed is crucial. Would a quicker capacitive spark discharge improve anything or have you tried that already?
Fuel is injected on the power side to answer your fist question, and the Scuderi Group has patented a specially designed valve train through the world renowned company Bosch Engineering that can handle the speeds of of the flame speeds which are 4x greater than conventional engines.
Well I will agree that they are completely impractical when comparing them to the Scuderi Groups engine here, but the Scuderi Group is not here to squash current technology, in fact they can actually implement their technology into electric hybrid designs to make them even more efficient than they already are. But, having that said the Scuderi Engine will still be considered the industry standard because it is a perfect balance between great power output, efficiency and cost to manufacture.
love to see this split cycle combined with the french three stage air engine. where air is the electric storage device and gas split cycle is the range extender,added power and heat source for added efficency in air engine cycle use of electric energy. I see this as the next hydrid due to low cost of storage over 20 year vehicle life cycle.
FIAT multi-air is the best !!

compression cylinders should be at the ends or in the middle , for less vibrations

To hell with the current hybrids we've become familiar with, this design is pure genius, yet less complicated!
