He's an admitted fraud. He knows that something this small can't take the internal forces needed to produce the torque he's talking about. That's why he'll only run it at low RPM off of compressed air & not combustion. Also, he never displays it hooked up to a real load or anything requiring torque output higher than what is needed to overcome it's own internal friction. He basically says that in this vid. If he won't run the engine to failure because it fails, then it'll also fail in you car.

everything is beautiful...

@bedpotato you are a tit. there are some very intelligent people that are willing to spend allot of money to put this into production. i bet your parents are related.

@dalesalsa I do hear the slapping sound, but from what I can tell, the pistons never touch. It's probably coming from the timing mechanism

[silverbird58]

would the shock wave be that critical to the gear set out back ? if so yea there is a problem.. any moving object has sonic and high sonic vibrations that need balances for his myt also . could a simple harmonic balancer work here?

[dalesalsa]

Is that sound when when he turns at 1:19 it the SLAP of pistons together?! That would cause the pistons to break off if they are slapping on each other like that!! Very bad...

I hope I am wrong there. The pistons cannot slap AT ALL or they will break off. Am I wrong here?

[springhill1958]

The piston rings must pass over THREE gaps to seal, they can not seal, that would be like having a conventional engine with cylinder bolted halves. Furthermore, running the engine would break the pistons off as they are only held on one side allowing a large moment arm. Looks good on paper but it will not work.

[originaldriver]

An engine is really nothing more than an air-pump. Whats there to be so skeptical about. Its not like hes comming on Youtube and asking you to mail him money or something.

Conventional power is not going to cut it in a world where fuel is no longer a cheap commodity.

I would like to see the the design become successful. Whats there not to like about a car that makes 270hp out of a motor the size of an alternator.

[1888junkteam]

excellent work!

[bedpotato]

I'm saying the way he's going about it screams 'fraud.' How much resource would it take to stick the thing in a truck or video tape it running on fuel?
