Superball motor

Nice intricate design and all...
But it's still basically a back-forth piston. With many more moving parts. It would probably be less efficient than a standard piston due to the increased friction.

Beautiful, but this is form over function.

I Agree.
I was thinking about the friction as the model ran. Pretty animation though

return to elementary

friction is a big factor. it can be fixed, the guides that open and close the compression chamber it's an eccelent idea to improve compression, intake traveling area its too long and runs across hot surfaces and get heat to fuel and air = poor fuel economy. basic idea is good, needs cooling for high rpm's. direct injection it's a solution (lincoln mks eco boost) research about it and good luck!

The Mighty Engine.
Go and ck that out it looks to work? + burn veg oils, bieo-fuel could be a compressor [sp] and makes a lots of HP for it size.
maybe these guys have it right ????

nope!!

I do not see it working except here on paper, and as sombody said cooling
gyro effect on a bike y or n
I just don't think it would work That is the one person, find out with the thumbs

Great design BUT where is the carter? Whow to lubrify this in action? It will not work in real conditions but the idea is good.

that is awsome i would love to see a actual running version, great design!
