Calling anything similar to this type of engine as "super efficient" is going to be pretty far from reality, in practice, i'm afraid.
-
This could have applications as a "natively repairable" wind-turbine (or water wheel) driven water pump in developing areas where rudimentary metal casting is the only locally available technology, but that's no good for converting fuel combustion into torque
-
@ben150785 But battery technology has yet to match the energy densities that fossil fuels provide. Until they can do that then ICE's will be around for a while yet.
Take a look at the Cyclone Steam, Pattakon Diesel and Shepherd Diesel engines.

why not use bearings then?
-
@SADrossi I think IC engines are a waste of time and old technology. We have the technology to run brushless motors now that put out serious power and torque. IC is dead

@ben150785 i agree. You can see it occurring during the "high speed" runs on the demo builds. Too unpredictable.
-
What you need to do is either mount it with some sort of vibrational absorbtion, or build two, secure them on top of eachother, and run them in opposite phases to cancel the forces.

Wont work. The gears will lose mech under load. Only looks like the only forces holding the output shaft the the centrepiece are centrifugal forces. That wont be enough

@dauer962roadcar Brushless systems. Mental power

how would this adapt to new fuels? the rotory/ weinkel handeled them fine but the piton engines of todays everday drivers don't like high octane fuels. not enough compression to get them to burn.
combining a rotarys eccentric and a piston engine. not a bad idea..

@Triple88a thats a good point.. like` a water heater, the gas company knows that if it warmed the incoming cold water by the exhaust vent before it goes into the heater, people would save about half gas, so they wont do it .
