Compressed Air Gasoline Hybrid Engine-50% less fuel-Part 2

[ney299]

I live in Brazil and friends want to know if you know any way to compress the hydrogen gas?

[MrGameboy1989]

you can make a trunk in the back now :P

[TheBluethunder3320]

sounds like an airplane engine

[0102josh]

@TheBluethunder3320 Yeah, that or a lawnmower.

[LincTexPilot]

How EXACTLY do you think this will deliver the same power yet use 50% less fuel?

As I mentioned before this is just a concept. I envision that in the near future with solenoid valve technology it could be possible to control the number of cylinders that operate at one time in an engine. In other words, you could start with 8 or 6 cylinders and shut down a certain number of cylinders & use the compression they are creating as a compressed air source, much like a supercharger, give more power to the engine. I feel that this future shows efficiency & performance to the maximum.

Just a though, but the Ford 7.3l"powerstroke" diesel engine has a high pressure oil system in it built for running the injectors.. why not use that system to run hydrolic actuated valves. O think Ford already has the technology on the shelf, but they won't use it.

Its an interesting Idea, but consider how much parisitic loss there is for one cylinder to drive the other, also dumping 120 PSI with out an intercooler to cool the superheated air down is going to make the engine less efficient. A 1 cylinder engine with a turbo charger would not have the parasitic loss, and would probably be more efficient, infact running both cylinders with a turbo would probably be more efficient than this.

[Karlfalcon]

It's a turbocharged one-cylinder engine.

[Bamchucknorris]

@Karlfalcon No.

1. There is no turbocharger.

2. It has two cylinders.

3. Most likely supercharged (large thingy attached to serpentine system)

[Karlfalcon]

@Bamchucknorris

The second cylinder is acting only as a compressor. It provides no energy to the engine.

[Bamchucknorris]

@Karlfalcon Sorry, I didn't see the concept video (part 1)

[fmftrx300ex]

seems like ud just lose eceiane due to compressing the air. and y ai uses less gas its onlt one cylender runing

[bunoboy380]

nice vw engine

[mOHawkManandSons]

We need more inventors like this guy....Cool idea.

[fmftrx300ex]

what we need to do s to get ppl out of this power crase why does someone need 200+ hp v8 to get to work and back? why arent we runing lighter cars with single cylender engines?

[vsworx]

First of all in the near future we would have camless engines which would make it possible how many cylinders are active or how many cylinders are compressed air; by creating individual valve activated with electromagnetic or pneumatic...
