Massive Yet Tiny (MYT) Engine Press Conference March 10, 2005 (3 of 3)

The motorjet engine is a jet with an IC engine turning the compressor. Italy made one in WW2 - reliable and slow at the time and flew from Rome to Milan. The inefficient IC engines of the day made them unviable and slow. The Russian and MYT engines may make the motorjet viable as alternative plane motor. This small efficient engines and superior jet technology may make the motorjets viable again

@ther44chopper: yes it has run on a dyno using an ignited fuel, 850hp N/A and 3000hp forced induction.

[TheR44chopper]

They didn't steal it, they just made it work. Has this ever run as a compression ignition engine or only in 'demo mode' like an air-gun powered by a compressor? Has anyone else put an air-gun on a dyno? The timing mechanism looks nice, a lot like the sleeve valve radial engines of WW2 which makes me think that I disagree with the idea that machining compound curves is a problem, it was also done in WW2 for implosion lenses on the Plutonium bomb.

@TheR44chopper, "They didn't steal it, they just made it work"

Correct. The design is old. BSA had working prototypes intended for a bike - in 1955. The Russian engine will promote this similar version, the MYT. He has everything to gain.

Those who think the Russian cannot R&D such things. Post USSR breakup, the US was amazed finding USSR rocket engines of alloys they were unfamiliar - high-efficient closed-cycle - USA had abandoned. They bought all and used them in their own launch vehicles

the russians stole this guys idea!

[jackp6]

@tylerdugray

I guess its great someone made it work for others...

to many inventions are hidden away for the public, from Tesla etc on

[Sladkey83]

WOW, Thank you.

[akelneb]

how much will cost 1 engine like tha then????

[tsslaporte]

Dear Raphial and people of Angel Labs,

I am excited about this technology but what kind of transmission in a passenger car can handle 800 foot/lbs of Torque at 800rpm?

[DragonRoLo]

I hope Raphial comes out with some new presentations or more driving models

I am looking foreword to throwing one of these in my own car.

[MrAbsoluteknowledge]

this must be some bulshit mile per cents? to run a car cut the rest of the crap? were are the stats? chevy volt already runs cents on a mile this seem to be worst no info great publicity stunt for the homless man now we jsut waiting money from investors feew millions will do tahnks lol lets hope andrea rossi is the real deal couse this guy is definalty a con artitst

[btester1]

@MrAbsoluteknowledge

If it runs on compressed air, it will work because you could have combustion outside the cylinder like they have in Zajac motors. Steam will work too. 195 psi vs 2000 psi or more with steam.

I hope Rossi is the real deal too.

[MrAbsoluteknowledge]

@btester1 yeah im not saying it wont work he demonstrated the thing in a working car driving down the road

so hes not complete con artist, i could make and egine rung on cow farts candle wax, or methane

what he dosent speak a word about is economics energy needed to make compresed air, mile rage

miles /per dollar or cent like in the case of nissan leaf, u know it will cost x amount of dollars to charge the batteries to run 100 miles

in his case? no mention of economics becouse his a con

[kmarinas86]

@MrAbsoluteknowledge

Actually, if he just focused on claims about miles /per dollar or cent rather than how his technology makes sense, then THAT would be evidence weighing in favor of this being a con. Stated more simply, the fact that he does NOT emphasize that sort of economic claim makes him less likely to be a con.

[tonedcos]

Interesting.Don't know if you'll survive the petrodoollar vampires. But good luck with it.
