It`s like you put combustion chambers on a old GM air conditioning compressor. You want to put your engine to a real endurance test? Install one in the oilfields pumping oil ,and running on sour gas from a well head.
Okay ladies and gentlemen, Duke engines builds an axial motor very similar to this one. the claim that it has almost no vibration is light powerful efficient and airplane capable...
shreyas05 do you know when this video was actually made it looks like an old video and I was wondering if there are newer ones out about this engine or if the big engine makers have shut them down.
This video was made back in the 80's and as of now it looks like the big engine makers have succeeded in shutting this engine down. But there might still be hope.... the problem with this engine is the aura of 'too good to be true', if investors get past that and see it for it's technical prowess...this kind of engine could go a long way in powering various vehicles don't you think?
And no, there isn't a new video ...at least not as of yet.
Read about it in Kitplanes and thought, "how great". Now that I have seen this, I think, "what a shame we don't have it." Come on Youtube, find it an investor!!!

I don't see a water jacket in the motoer, I only see bolt holes? Also I didn't see an oil pump for lubricating the interior?

Looks like a oversize act compresor. And they don't last that long maybe for 100k and then they loose compresion. Or they blow up.

@MrRwab
Hi , Glad to see your interest in this engine.
Where in Kitplanes did you read about the Engine?
Is it the November 2011 article by Rick Lindstrom?

@shreyas05 Yes. That's the article to which I was referring.
