pendulum combustion negine - new idea (patent)

[xoxoXoieoxox]

how do u plan to cool that flap in the middle and i see it realy only beeing about 65% efecent at max =3- internal cobuion is good but i think we have gone as far as it will let us go with recipricating style engins

[ChargerMiles007]

Very interesting idea!

Are you sure there is no sealing problems though?

Hope you can get one running!

[ricardojp07]

incredible, see my video of the diesel motor 2 strokes by valves not galleries.

[aterack833]

i dont know about the compression but i see that you overcome how to turn a pendulam motion into rotary so cudos and im guessing your russian?

[redreaper2020]

the age old problem of sealing a rotating mass...

[ioanniosif]

Damn you need to be a genius to set the camshafts

[Sonicku]

Sealing would be a nightmare, and it would vibrate itself to bits

[ExtremeskierX]

I remember a go kart that was powered by a 2 stroke jet engine in the early 70's, see Popular Science. That's all this is but much more complicated to build.

[killer2600]

New idea? I've seen many of these types and when compared against a rotary engine this motor has more parts/points of failure and I'd imagine still have weakness in the seal due to cylinder design.

[stayinstock]

I would say add another mount on the other side of the pivot for added strength and balance.

Don't see why it wouldn't work .

[86Raxor]

djudging by the way the shaft operates i think this engine will have a high mechanical loss.

Is it tested? estimated or calculated overall efficiency?

[alexbraga1977]

Hi guys, did you think about the lost energy in this motor?? and vibration??? this is the worst mechanical ideal that i see in my whiole life

[Joe11Blue]

This will never work.

[ferociousLamm]

There is no good way to efficiently cool or lubricate this if used as an internal combustion engine. I could see this being steam driven but the applications are limited.

[117DieHard]

it will break after one hour of use but very space efficeint

[Cokoholicar]

I think this would tear itself apart after a while.... just my opinion

[TheUberGopher]

No advantage, and harder to manufacture.

[XHyperxNovaX]

I'm all for innovative thinking, but can you tell me what is wrong with a reciprocating piston or a rotary?

[pcenginejg]

@XHyperxNovaX Reciprocating is several times larger. rotary has problems with seal, or complicated mechanism. Our idea is simple, easy to seal, cheap to repair.

[Joru666]

@pcenginejg oh I think machining spherical chambers is going to be anything but simple, easy to seal nor easy to repair. I like the sophistication tho.

[pedekiller]

@XHyperxNovaX you just answered your own question, that rotary was also a pretty weird ass design and people would have thought the same thing about it when it came out.

result? a very light package with epic power output, if we are still too stuborn as a race to go to full electric (cost too much so far) then we might as well come up with sweet engine tech :D

[XHyperxNovaX]

@pedekiller Yes, but the rotary has a very high RPM output. Even torque once it gets to that high RPM. This doesn't look like it would reach high RPMs before it vibrates itself apart. Then again, they didn't believe Einstein when he came up with the nuclear bomb theory.

[samawal3131]

parasitic losses are HUGE!!!

[VicTheMazdaFan1993]

Looks like a brilliant design BUT; is it possible to use at high RPM's and such? I reckon it would vibrate quite a bit.

[pcenginejg]

@VicTheMazdaFan1993 In hybrid systems, high speed is not so important. most important are the optimum speed of rotation. And whether our engine is good for high rpm? I do not know:) I wait till check:)

[VicTheMazdaFan1993]

@pcenginejg Ahh, didn't know it was hybrid. Sorry mate

[JustinMitchellHicks]

It may take some level of genious to allow multi axis and multi free spin one way flywheels to keep vessel pendulum in proper helpful motion. Which reminds me to ask, does the technology serve you or do you serve the technology. All advancement is vanity. How does the pendulum change the firing of the chamber, how does the firing of the chamber change the constantness of steady engine run? Larger pendulum heavier... keep at the bottom of the boat, boat turn slower.

[pcenginejg]

@JustinMitchellHicks write what you smoking write these comments ... I would also smoke the same thing from time to time:)

[EGAblankenshipj76]

@pcenginejg Actually these are all viable questions so just answer them, or do u just not want to admit that u dont know?

[JustinMitchellHicks]

Only application I've thought of so far for this is Living Seas Acquaria-Floating Research vessel... Where electricity is needed to be on and steady at steady up and running times during movement or free float over aqueous seas and where the vessel must not have much room or need for non safe temperature sens-ative storage capacitors and batteries... Example a lab for adventurous tourests going with tour guide and ?laeisons? to discover the underwater life and archaics, possible even extremofile

[MicroOrginisum]

The crank is a little wobbly, and would cause a ton of vibration, good design tho.

[ZebbMassiv]

could this run on Hydrogen?

[salmonoable]

 Which software is used to do these beautiful designs ?

[feliksandrew]

@feliksandrew

[feliksandrew]

it is simile

[piespokladowy]

*****

[TAPriceCTR]

interesting design. you would get much more forgiveness (and as such longevity) in the crank mechanism if you paired this with annother set 45 degrees off. while not as simple as standard cylinders, the seals on this should be easier than the wankel. the design looks fairly light weight, could be a pretty good upgrade especially for 2 strokes.

[rainerfilm]

A Company in South Africa Pretoria called Stallion Turbos built one of these engines. The way I understand it is that they own the patents to the engine.

[bazza4288]

if your valve cam is off a fraction its going to slam into the piston?

[pcenginejg]

@bazza4288 : Of course not. May seem so watching the animation, but in reality, the valves can be protected by a suitable shape slots. The same way piston - its shape will be calculated accordingly protect against collision with valves. animation shows only the right ideas and effective work of the new type of engine. Thanks for the comment:)

[quaditz]

The Problem is: Every time the pistons change its direction, also the crankshaft changes it's direction, so you need this construction at the end and i think this constructions consums too much energy, so the Motor is very ineffective. But this part can be optimized, shame that oil is running out next years and we drive electrical cars, otherwise i would have seen a future for this engine :-P

[pcenginejg]

@quaditz thank you for comment. The problem of critical point (the point of changing the direction of motion) can accomplish using a counterweight. And oil not running out only circulates - so in addition to lubrication can cool the piston. Electric motors are not a threat to combustion engines.

Internal combustion engines (petrol, alcohol, gas) will operate many years yet:) That is why we recommend our solution to your mind:)

[andgate2000]

Why do lots of these great designs have heaps of complicated moving parts?

[pcenginejg]

@andgate2000 how many moving parts is our great project? pistons connected with shaft - 1 part and 2 switching elements for rotary swinging motion. That much? And how many moving parts to the current engine? piston - 1, rod 2, the crankshaft - 3 It turns out that our engine has the same number of moving points as currently used engines.

[pcenginejg]

Every vibration of a constant or predictable amplitude can be reduced. After all in classic engines is also a counterweight. The biggest problem with this engine is the lack of money for research and implementation into production. But maybe something to gain. Thank you for your comment:)

[ArcadeGames]

Looks cool, but not sure if the whole car would shake apart?

[robinhooodvsyou]

-It could be compact size engine, but that combustion chamber is very inefficient.

[gary1417]

good

[io9487]

nice one! looks like you have hunted down all of the (wankel-)leaks!! Should work great!

[colsley]

You should call it the Quack Engine, because it looks like a duck.

[pcenginejg]

both

[Conrad1147]

Spark plugs? or diesel?

[rainerfilm]

I know a guy that is going to be pissed when he sees this video.

[pcenginejg]

@rainerfilm - Such a good idea, or so bad? ;)

[rainerfilm]

@pcenginejg It looks good, it still borrows the 4 stroke concept but it is more compact. I know someone that built an engine that is almost the same as this one.

[okayillgonow]

Sealing rounded pistons like this/these is much better than the one on your first vid. Keep up the good work.
