  • Awesome idea, but it's still fossil fuel.

  • Thumbs up if you would like some kind of update from Norbert!

  • Sad to think this brilliant man will be shot/killed or bought off by the oil companies or like the other man that successfully converted a V-6 gasoline engine into a retrofitted hydrogen engine and tried to market suddenly died from "natural causes".

  • @SamTheDragon31 Give one example of this happening. just 1. 

  • @Drjusmar I dont need to give an example, history already has the proof of other brilliant minds being killed/bought off in the US because it would do harm to the oil tycoons and benefit the good of the people. 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.

  • Vid posted Oct 2009, where is a demo model powering a car? WHERE IS IT?!

    SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

    "Shockwave"? You get shockwaves from super sonic planes. You mean to tell me that rotor goes transonic? Show me the physics! Show me the money! 2.9million from DOE to discredited R&D.

  • Hmmm...looks like a glorified Salad Shooter...

  • Research before you comment. This device is still in the developmental stages and is still favored by US government funding amoung other interests and contributors.

    Here is an interview from Michigan State University Oct. 2011: (won't let me put web address here), so websearch: 'Michigan State University Alumni Association' and when on their actual site type in "The Wave Of The Future" to get to the actual article.

    Let's hope 'the powers that be' keep interested and MOVE ON THIS!

  • Kinda sounds like the Mazda rotary engine

  • watching this video and seeing the interior of this space begs for an "Office" type show, depicting frustrated grad student struggling under the immense demands of the Associate Professor and his odd accent.Could be HILARIOUS..

  • what a coincidence in about a year i'll be looking for a new car.....now why aren't we using these yet???

  • Deutsche technik, natürlich...

  • If the US give money for technology, it's almost sure to be harmless to big bizz, CO2 credit scheme, etc.

  • How old is this? Some of the comments are almost a year old already. His time line is way out of whack. No, this is one more pie in the sky good idea that will amount to nothing more than reasearch. Keep trying though. We'll get it right eventually.

  • I am gonna call bullshit on this because there's no proof that this works.

    2.5 mill down the drain. Sorry. I have seen couple of these new type IC engines on youtube and all their claims but they never deliver.

  • 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.

  • Comment removed

  • @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.

  • Comment removed

  • @martinmartiini Yes, way to be a condescending cock-magnet.

  • @Kainlarsen yes, cock-sucking english-speaking faggot without elementary knowledge of machine-building you are

  • 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.

  • I want to build my own. Anyone know how this engine works and ignition is timed. I would really like to know.

  • Save BIG OIL

  • 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.

  • He is german. Relax he got this under control.

  • Isn't Angel Labs LLC working on something that at least looks more impressive than the paper weight he is holding?

  • don't know if this guy is blowing smoke or not....

    if it is such a simple design, why haven't we seen a working prototype yet?

  • 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.

  • Its bullcrap artists like you that give honest and hard working experimenters and inventors like me a bad name. Your kind can always find unfounded reason to fault and belittle our accomplishments so you can justify your nonproductive big taxpayer money scams. The only thing you did was show how to piss away 2.5 million dollars.

  • All I see is some sort of an impeller. Saw a cut away version that was obscure at best. What do you have that is so great? I finance my own experiments as do most all other experimenters here. 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.

  • The greedy car companies and their oil friends are scared of the thought of using something new that doesn't make them as much money as before.

  • Awesome!

  • Seems that they must have hit a complete block at some point otherwise we would have something new on this.. The thing about media born in the age of political correctness is it removes impetus via the way such things are left hyping us long after the engineers tossed the last prototype in the trash.

  • @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).

  • Looks so simple for even the 3rd world countries to copy and replicate.

  • I prefer the Obama electric car with the 20 mile long extension cord.

  • not all new energy sources should b used for war

    

  • Thumbs up if he looks like Harrison Ford.

  • Um maybe it's weak like a stirling engine, no pouwwa- Does it got some HP?

  • Good luck ever seeing this come to market... They'll never let a product like this be consumed by the masses.

  • 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.

  • i think it's safe to say the oil companies got to him and stopped production and testing

  • @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.

  • Comment removed

  • @whopperding Do know the IPO information if there is any? Is he planning on taking this private?

  • 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.

  • Nice speech. Can we see the engine turning a load please?

  • 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.

  • lol, this was in the news today as a new revolution, and now I see it's already 1,5 years old, that must be the slowest reporter in the world

  • Comment removed

  • how about we skip this one and get the government to give up zero gravity technology?

    no need to pollute the world to mass extinction......

  • 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.

  • @dpattiris youtube doesnt allow to paste direct links in the comments, u have to copy and paste em manually to adress bar of ur browser.

  • hydrogen power is even better than this shit !

  • @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%.

  • whatever you guys do, dont sell it to anyone who will lock its patton away

  • aahh...Germans...once again =D

  • oil companies already ran this into the ground

  • 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.

  • nobody cares about a model, let's see it work.

  • Actually u can buy a new russian car based on such engine in like 2 month. The announced price is about 15000$.

  • @Flashr2 I would love the name of the company and car that you are talking about. It's well past time for an engine revolution.

  • @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.

  • Looks like a stock scam

  • CAN WE HAVE THIS NOW PLEASE? D:

  • the audio on this video is sooo bad

  • I love sie Germans! I want some bier und schwein knuckles mit meiner disk generator!

  • Dooo ittttt.

  • wow, think of all the gas we have wasted for over a hundred years because we didn't design an engine as efficient as this one

  • @fade1283 You haven't seen it perform yet, this is a prototype. Don't get ahead of yourself.

  • will just get swept under the rug. oil companies dont want much more efficient engines.

    

  • @Euphorica I doubt that.

  • This video is already over 2 years old... so what happened?

  • @bublycat Yeah, you would have thought this would be bigger news :/

  • @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 -- a year and a half, you mean

  • @bublycat

    2 years is Oct. 29 2011.

    It's not even July 2011 yet, he expected 3 years in the video.

  • @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.

  • @bublycat killed by the petroleum companies

  • @bublycat not all new energy sources should b used for war

  • @cjbryan277 Where the hell did I say that it should be used for war?!?

  • @morph995 When did race come into the discussion? Just wondering.

  • When did Sting get into engine design?!?!?

  • 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 If they said it runs on corn the congress would give them five billion

  • @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 Great point. It's upsetting that there isn't more funding for science and engineering simply for the sake of progress.

  • @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.

  • @seethebob Actually the space pen was made independently unfunded by nasa. Paul Fisher sold it to both space programs.

  • @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.

  • @seethebob someone has a chip on their shoulder.

  • @konatv just what we need, more tanks.

  • @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.

  • @konatv good application retard. The best thing is for you to help depopulate the planet of humans by your and yours volenteering to go first.

  • @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.

  • Sounds good. Thanks

  • Screw being green. After this guy gets paid for this "new engine", I bet the first thing he's going to buy is a gas guzzling V12 Lamborghini.

  • @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.

  • Comment removed

  • @morph995 Small steps.

  • Yes!

  • 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.

  • Didn't Mazda create something similar a long time ago, and oil interests were able to somehow kill it?

  • @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.

  • has to be German doesn't it... :)

  • i hope he hasnt copyrighted it yet. i want to steal this invention!

  • @neocon70 Patented you mean.

  • norbert mueller died today in early morning in an car accident, circumstances are mysterious

  • @vtzc Where did you hear this? Is it the same Norbert Mueller?

  • @popedummy9239 I'm taking his comment as a joke.. like the oil guys sabotaged his car or something.

  • wait is this another dumb zero point energy scam?

  • 2009? So ? what happened since then?

  • count down to him getting paid millions/billions to sell the rights to a big corporation who then sits on it.... sigh

  • Norbert Mueller = Winner.

  • 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.

  • 1 dislike from the oil industry.

    You picked the wrong guys to fuck with!

  • ......too bad he's going to end up either shot or with an induced heart attack if he gets too many views and press.....

  • i can't wait to race one.

  • 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. 

  • @cashstore1

    oct 29, 2009

    thats only a year and a half

  • @DerMacko My error. I would like to see a working engine. I have not found a video yet. Seems like it

    would be an easy thing to do. I actually hope this succeeds, but seeing is believing.

  • Sad thing is: It won't be produced, 'cause Big Oil sez so!

  • Say good bye to combustion engine? Another block on the way of electric cars?

  • Here's hoping it's given a chance to succeed.

  • Fuck this shit. We need to eliminate gasoline, not enable it further to postpone the problem.

    

  • @Harboggles We need something to bridge us to that point too. We do not have the means to have a total switch off of gas right now.

  • @Stephenishere I disagree. Hemp.

  • @Harboggles Your trolling right? You want to replace the millions and millions of ICE's in the world with... hemp?

  • The pessimist and conspiracy theorist in me wonders how long it will take for the oil lobby to discredit this design.

  • @SevenSixTwoNato They want it to be released, it allows them to keep using Gasoline for many years to come prolonging the problem...

  • Obama will try to kill it.

  • @bufbarnaby If that were true, then he would have blocked the Department Of Energy grant.

  • @bufbarnaby Yes, you're right. That's why Mueller got a $2.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. It all makes sense.

  • This was uploaded in 2009. Where is it now...??

  • I hope this really has people with good intentions behind it.We need this now.

  • Wow, I am starting to think this is a scam. Where are the results?! It's 2011 now!!!

  • Wow, I am starting to think this is a scam. Where are the results?! It's 2011 now!!!

  • From this angle, it looks like a paperweight that enables you to draw the attention from the media.

  • whoever produced this video should be shot

  • It has all the features of a low pressure turbine.

  • Ok so these promisis were recored 3 years ago at 2009. So where are vehicles with these amazing motors ha?

  • It sounds like it can even help to better generate electricity from gasoline in generators. what are the engines in generators ? traditional ones ?
