The only person who has won a lawsuit and lived to tell the story is Robert Kearns for windshield wipers.
@SamTheDragon31 You say you don't need to give an example because history gives us plenty. Please, name one case where the oil industry killed a inventor for a product. Robert Kearns had his windshield wiper design get stolen by ford. They didn't steal/ kill him for it. Try again.

Let's see this in a generator application to supply power to a home or farm. This way it will get some serious load testing and practical testing at generating electricity which is its sole job. Good luck and hope it comes to fruition, sadly I'm not holding my breath.
@martinmartiini Electrical motors are still not yet efficient enough. Given that the big oil companies would stand to lose from electric as well, they would do whatever they could to delay/prevent them from becoming mainstream. This may be a good stepping stone for the transition from petrol to electric.
Thank you Norbert for building this. I really hope this can help with gasoline problems and cost of a vehicle. I'm impressed with it but I wonder how it will fare with age? I guess we will have to wait to see. I would love to see a working prototype.
Less talk, lets spin that bad boy up. 25,000 watts worth of power from that little thing in his hand? Can't be, the 25,000 watt version has to be bigger.
Why would they get anything for this? This has been around since the 50s. As well about 100 other designs of equal merit. If anyone wants to reproduce the design get a hold of me at snappyboy01@yahoo.com. This design is simple and inexpensive to build but still requires technology from the gaseous fuel people to work. Propane, lp, hho, and the like to power it. If the design was worth anything someone would have used it 60 years ago.

And we get results. Nobody gets 2.5 million to do anything from anybody. Just another taxpayer fraud. So release the details so that real experimenters can test this 2.5 million dollar marvel. We paid for it, lets see it! If not get a job and pay back the money.
Seems that they must have hit a complete block at some point otherwise we would have something new on this..

@garyroxene It takes time, the man does not have the resources to produce cars with this engine by himself. he needs to convince auto makers or find investors, who he also has to convince.
@garyroxene It won the engine of the month on the October 2011 Popular Mechanics magazine : ). At the end of the article it says that they are receiving a 2.5 million grant (i'll guess a new one). And "Muller plans to have a 35 - hp unit running this year". : )
@garyroxene - there was a media splash in March 2011 (including CNN), then not much since then. I'm guessing they're working on the 35 HP prototype. Probably won't hear much until they get it working (assuming they do).
Probably gonna end up somewhere in a collection with all the others - the bajulaz six stroke engine, the 25 year lightbulb, einsteins refrigerator , Teslas free energy invention and so on.
@konatv 2.5 million is a hefty sum considering that the centrifugal pump (the concept this model was built after) has been around for the past century. There is hardly anything special about this engine... It is merely another textbook way of looking at internal combustion methodology.
if this works, it will be perfect for electric generators. It would be a great power plant for a series configuration hybrid like the chevy volt. I assume it is air cooled.
Could be world changing, however, being in my 50s I've seen many, many cool inventions which never amounted to anything.
did a little research on this...it seems that thing he's holding isn't a working prototype, just a prop basically. this video is on the concept of the engine which they received funding for in 2009 to build a prototype. since then, they've build a model and have been showing it off, which is why the story has re-emerged in the news.
There are other engines in the works that may do as well as this one; there is a definate advantage to operating at a constant velocity and having no drive train, this type of engine could be scaled for buses or train as well. Since this engine burns fuel it still does pollute.
@smiles1969able In the future they will be, but until we have the infrastructure, this will make a brilliant stop-gap. This engine is apparently 60% efficient; normal engines are 15% and all-electric vehicles are 95%.
Since you know it was developed by academics, you know they didn't bother to think about the reduced safety of removing 1000lbs from a car, from road stability to protection of the occupants in a frontal impact. Also pretty funny that MSNBC just linked to this video as if it were something new two years after it was posted.
@blogbat So carry around 15 Mexicans in your super-sized plow-train SUV! Personally, I don't care to give our enemies a damn dollar more than I have to so the more fuel efficient the better!
Hey, here's a thought... maybe if your vehicle wasn't so goddamn heavy you would be able to stop in time or maybe steer out of the way instead of being a super-heavy projectile!
Personally, I don't give a shit what the lefties think... gimmie 70mpg and cleaner air to breath and I'm good!
@ericx777 LOL! Our air's clean enough. We're statistically more likely to die in accidents because of intrusions into the passenger compartment. It shouldn't be a political issue but a simple matter for science - but science needs to consider all of the costs and benefits and address them, not just the mypopic goal of a few extra miles per gallon. By the way, I don't mind paying a little extra for gas if we stopped importing it and decided to finally drill our own. But O's too ideological.
@blogbat Domestic US oil production under President Bush declined by 14.7%. Under President Obama it has increased 2.8%. Idealogical? Perhaps. Anti-oil? No.
@tecnoblix - here is how the engine works - youtube.com/watch?v=UEyjZQgTUyU , and here is the presentation of new russian car - youtube.com/watch?v=nQIBYmEXCRo
Well its about time they came out with a new engine thats super fuel efficient.. but what bothers me that even an "intelligent professor" like himself, Norbert here... talking about "Carbon emissions" as if Carbon dioxide is a bad thing. As if its a toxic gas. Well, he should just slit his own throat and every other mammal on earth - because they all exhale CO2, but ya know what? Every plant on earth gobbles up CO2. WE NEED MORE TREES AND PLANTS, STOP CUTTING DOWN FORESTS, instead of less CO2.
@mrjustin5 You are aware that literally anything in too much supply is dangerous right? Even pure oxygen causes harmful effects in the human body, causing the brain to NOT get the oxygen it actually needs.
@mrjustin5 You are aware that anything in too abundant a supply is harmful right? Even oxygen, one of the things we need to survive, in it's pure form is damaging to the body.
Highly doubt it , consider he is doing research in an institution and he made no reference to Zero Point Energy. This device can potentially make a lot of things run more efficiently, save money, which means bad business. So when are the oil tycoons/eites going to shut him down or buy him out? If I am a major share holder of any big Oil, I would do what ever it takes to supress this as long as possible or lobby it straight to hell.
@therealjamesgardner well, there isnt much to this story but the little thing in his hand. No prototype shown or real engine model yet. I think this story was made a bit too soon.
@bublycat I FOUND A WORKING DEMO VID OF THIS!!! I really thought it was a hoax too (despite the fact it has legitimate gov backing and is based in a major university, I am that skeptical about this sort of thing). Here is the link (just add the 3 w's and eliminate the spaces) .youtube .com/watch?v=nIPSTTvHfLs
@bublycat of course, just because there is a working demonstrator and legit funding doesn't mean this thing could completely fall through, but still the demonstration clip makes me hopeful.
Someone needs to show this to an Army general and tell them, 'With this engine your tanks will go 3 times farther and carry more weapons. That should green-light at least $1B in funding.
@konatv Didn't you hear what the professor said? He said they were working on a 25 kilowatt version which translates to about 35 horsepowers. What do you think a tank general would say to 35 horsepowers?
@konatv The Pen that the US developed for outerspace use took $3 Billion....The Russians used a pencil, shows how gay our govt. has gotten, our tax dollars are going into Planned Parent Hood and to pay for Illegal immigrants and people who don't work.
@konatv - Since when does "gay" mean "unnecessarily spending too much money"? Please don't use "gay" as an insult. Doing so perpetuates the bullying, harassment, and killing of people for being themselves.
@revolutionisnow Why perpetuate the gay bashing myth? Saying "that's way gay!" is fine.
Also, fags call themselves "fags", "queers", "dykes" and far worse all the time.
Recognize that homosexism is a mind disorder, albeit a harmless one. It's a fetish obsessive same sex attraction that arises during childhood. Clearly, it's abnormal and from an aesthetic standpoint, ugly, grotesque, a caricature of what it means to be human.
@konatv In a world where BP can spill oil and still make 5.6 BILLION dollars profit, and where banks and car companies get bailed out for 800 BILLION dollars of fiat currency. people like this man, John Bedini, John Searl, Joseph Newman, Tom Bearden and so many other brilliant minds are prevented from getting funding of a few million.
Look what happened to Nikola Tesla. Most of these wonderful technologies Are displayed to militaries and end up getting the patent denied or seizied by the NSA.
Well, considering they didn't even show up with more advanced types or even PARTIALLY working prototypes, you can assume that it didn't have enough throughput versus consumed energy.
Throwing 1 billion at a prototype that he directly stated at 0:37 that they gained efficiency by theory would be blatantly moronic. Yes this means testing was involved, but not much considering there are no direct numbers to compare, nor which type of energy is fueling it, so there is little to go on.
@konatv Yeah. Unfortunately, it often takes a military application to even bring technology to this nation in the first place and certainly often to receive any type of funding. The wealthy and the military don't like to expose super advanced technologies, though. That defeats the purpose of keeping many of those things out of public view so that the wealthy corporations who often have a lot to do with the reason why the military is utilized in the first place can contionue to make a killing.
@morph995 actually there are many inventions by black people, one of which is peanut butter. another other of which is revolutionizing fiber optics. not to mention rock and roll music, and rap (which has since hybridized into the pop/hip-hop that dominates the air waves) so essentially, if you eat food, use a computer, or listen to music you're enjoying a black person's invention. might want to kill yourself now.
Good thing this is on Youtube. Don't let it fall through the cracks. I'm sure Oil Companies and Saudi princes are trying to kill this (and the inventors) as we speak.
@Chnamanjx its amazing how our technology evolves so fast, yet humanity as a whole inevitably creates itself speed-bumps, so that the human spirit catches up as well. A world without conflict and chaos is absolutely boring.
@CommunityBuildersSB That was the rotary engine called the Wankel or Wankle. It just wasn't as good as the standard ICE and still required a radiator, transmission, etc.
This is really fantastic. I hope these engines can be produced and replace internal combustion. Yes, there are huge obstacles from Big Oil, but with enough effort and perhaps public support, this invention will make it through those roadblocks!
Don't be sad that this is being invented "instead of" fully electric cars becoming the norm. Right now, most of our electricity comes from coal, so electric cars aren't all that clean. Efficiency is better until we convert to renewable electricity.
Wondering the status of this now . I see the video is uploaded in "Uploaded by whopperding on Oct 29, 2009" . Today it seems to be in lot media attention, Is this because in last 2 years its now production ready and tested. It will be great if some one can get a follow up video as lot reports points to this video.
I did not see a demonstration. This has scam written all over it. This video is 2 1/2 years old. Nothing has come of it. I see nothing in the news, and no vehicles have this claimed technology.
Awesome idea, but it's still fossil fuel.

@bublycat I FOUND A WORKING DEMO VID OF THIS!!! I really thought it was a hoax too (despite the fact it has legitimate gov backing and is based in a major university, I am that skeptical about this sort of thing). Here is the link (just add the 3 w's and eliminate the spaces) .youtube .com/watch?v=nIPSTTvHfLs

@bublycat of course, just because there is a working demonstrator and legit funding doesn't mean this thing could completely fall through, but still the demonstration clip makes me hopeful.

They've only gotten $2.5M for this?!?
Someone needs to show this to an Army general and tell them, 'With this engine your tanks will go 3 times farther and carry more weapons. That should green-light at least $1B in funding.

@konatv
thats not how it works man, funding is based on the viabiality.
there have been hundreds of different engine designs over the last 100 years, and this is one of them.
also I'f I'm understanding this right. it makes HP from electricity, but not a lot of torque, so prob not suited to a tank.

@konatv - Since when does "gay" mean "unnecessarily spending too much money"? Please don't use "gay" as an insult. Doing so perpetuates the bullying, harassment, and killing of people for being themselves.

@revolutionisnow Why perpetuate the gay bashing myth? Saying "that's way gay!" is fine.
Also, fags call themselves "fags", "queers", "dykes" and far worse all the time.
Recognize that homosexism is a mind disorder, albeit a harmless one. It's a fetish obsessive same sex attraction that arises during childhood. Clearly, it's abnormal and from an aesthetic standpoint, ugly, grotesque, a caricature of what it means to be human.

@konatv In a world where BP can spill oil and still make 5.6 BILLION dollars profit, and where banks and car companies get bailed out for 800 BILLION dollars of fiat currency. people like this man, John Bedini, John Searl, Joseph Newman, Tom Bearden and so many other brilliant minds are prevented from getting funding of a few million.
Look what happened to Nikola Tesla. Most of these wonderful technologies Are displayed to militaries and end up getting the patent denied or seizied by the NSA.

@konatv I second that! I guess in the "new economy" of bailouts, $2.5M just doesn't go as far as it used to.

@konatv
Well, considering they didn't even show up with more advanced types or even PARTIALLY working prototypes, you can assume that it didn't have enough throughput versus consumed energy.
Throwing 1 billion at a prototype that he directly stated at 0:37 that they gained efficiency by theory would be blatantly moronic. Yes this means testing was involved, but not much considering there are no direct numbers to compare, nor which type of energy is fueling it, so there is little to go on.

TheTime4solutions 7 months ago
@konatv Yeah. Unfortunately, it often takes a military application to even bring technology to this nation in the first place and certainly often to receive any type of funding. The wealthy and the military don't like to expose super advanced technologies, though. That defeats the purpose of keeping many of those things out of public view so that the wealthy corporations who often have a lot to do with the reason why the military is utilized in the first place can contionue to make a killing.

@morph995 actually there are many inventions by black people, one of which is peanut butter. another other of which is revolutionizing fiber optics. not to mention rock and roll music, and rap (which has since hybridized into the pop/hip-hop that dominates the air waves) so essentially, if you eat food, use a computer, or listen to music you're enjoying a black person's invention. might want to kill yourself now.

This is really fantastic. I hope these engines can be produced and replace internal combustion. Yes, there are huge obstacles from Big Oil, but with enough effort and perhaps public support, this invention will make it through those roadblocks!
Don't be sad that this is being invented "instead of" fully electric cars becoming the norm. Right now, most of our electricity comes from coal, so electric cars aren't all that clean. Efficiency is better until we convert to renewable electricity.

Wondering the status of this now . I see the video is uploaded in "Uploaded by whopperding on Oct 29, 2009" . Today it seems to be in lot media attention, Is this because in last 2 years its now production ready and tested. It will be great if some one can get a follow up video as lot reports points to this video.
