Faculty conversations: Norbert Mueller

It's too good of an idea... A more efficient engine means less people purchasing gas which means it probably won't happen any time soon :(

[muhammadzahmad]

interesting and informative

[r2dege]

I expect Africa to be the first to make use of this! LOL There are too many bureaucratic hurdles and lobbies to cross in Europe and the U.S.

[TheIndustrialphreak]

So its kind of a tesla/turbine per say, were is the demonstration of performance and or CG mockup of this engine in operation?

[dougaholic]

at 25kw, it would make a great low-end motorcycle engine!

It looks simple to reproduce.



[CylusFox04]

I didn't understand hardly a word he said. Can we get a script or subtitles?

[CylusFox04]

@faro0485 unfortunately that's the world we live in. Rest in Peace Nikola.

The industry is resistant to new engines with radially fewer parts.The government subsidies are all job number per unit [engine] produced which depends on parts numbers. It takes about 5 years to do the research so the fact that the videos old does not matter. Expect the technology to appear in an overseas car rather than a US maker. The big three are dead industries kept walking by government money. Zombies.

are there any computer animations?

[lifehackertips]

This video is 2 years old, guess it didn't work....

[mrjustin5]

@lifehackertips Yeah, Jason Mick's BLOG on DailyTech website is showing this as "new news"... thats what NEWS is suppose to be... not "OLDS" its suppose to be NEW... hence.. NEWS... so the video is quite old... and I haven't heard anything since... so.... lets see if ever, this new miracle engine gets implemented.... if anything, I'm guessing Toyota or GM or Ford or Mercedes will buy the patent design and HIDE IT in a vault for 40 years and finally by 2050 they'll start using it.

[WAPTek2]

show a simulatio,, show a working engine, show something,,,please???

[daw1cked]

"That's what you're about to see on the road, let's say, the latest 3 years from now"

2-years in: No known car manufacturer uses it, weird

[colinshark]

Thoroughly badass. So it's a bit like a rotary engine, but using shockwaves for compression? I wonder how noisy it is.

This is also cool because I spent a lot of my study time in that building.
