Larsen RADAX Hydrogen Powered Engine (Part 1/2) Explanation

Mel Larsen has claimed that his Larsen RADAX engine has set the word record in thermal efficiency for an engine. The Larsen RADAX is an 8-cylinder, 2-stroke, 300 horsepower Internal Combustion Engine that has an efficiency range of 45 - 54 percent, which far exceeds the 20 - 30 percent efficiency of a standard gasoline engine.

Supporting renewable fuel is something we can all logically agree upon. It doesn't matter whether one is burning hemp, hydrogen or jalapeños. If there's a fuel that is cheap and easily available to everyone, then you need to support it.

Those money grubbing bastards who know of this engine don't want it to be mass produced because this would mean less sells as far as oil is concerns.

I want one, I got an Nova that I would love for that to go in.

@SOLOIIguru Cause Subarus are for chumps.

I bet I could build the engine in this video just by the info given here with a team of guys and not on my own. However, I'd sure love to get my hands on a set of building plans. I would love to see this engine get propagated among the little guys like me.

I have Four engines to investgate.

1) Revetec's X-block. Compact, high claimed efficiency ~39.5%.

2) Vengeance Power's VROC (Vaned Rotary Otto Cycle) Engine. Compact, Extremely high torque, fairly simple. Seems to solve all issue major issue of the Wankel.

3) EcoMotors OPOC (Opposed Piston Opposed Cylinder) Engine. Compact, low CG, High efficiency.

4) Larsen cycle Axial Engine. High efficiency, compact, High torque

@SOLOIIguru It's a little long. I looks to be as long as a typical V8 engine. You wouldn't be dropping that in a Subaru or most cars fitted for smaller engines. Also given Subaru's Symmetrical AWD layout, this engine would be hanging way out front. A smaller version might work but you'd be more likely to see it in a RWD vehicle where you have more room to fit the thing.

SO WHY IS THIS ENGINE STILL NOT IN SUBARUS!?????

[hangarrat101]

so is this the same as a swashplate engine?

[arcadian33333]

Shut BP down

[moviejacker]

When can we all see a working dyno model of this engine. Also a vehicle with this engine and one with an onboard hydrogen production unit to shut up for once and for all all the crude oil addicts?
