  • How could you possibly come to such a conclusion? Do you have engineering details of how the parts are made or fit together?

    Have you built one? Has it been tested?

    I can answer YES to all and though the engine is not totally friction free (nothing is), when compared to a standard 4 cly try and turn the engine(with plugs removed)with a torque wrench see how many ft lbs it takes to turn it?

    The engine you see here is equivalent to 110HP when I checked with a torque wrench it was In lbs!

  • This basic design is very old and it is not "easy to make". Just for consideration: he claimed 150 hp from a coffee can sized motor; the heat rejection will be insane. Some food for thought.

  • In our city there is a motor museum, that has similar working motor.

    It was done early 1950s I remember. They started it with a big lathe, and yes it did run.

    The efficiency was really bad, also lot of problems with heat.

    It has complicated mechanical structure, and also it is very heavy compared to "normal" piston engine.

  • @ClutchCoin , MYT is using the Russian lever locking for each compression to fire stroke..It appears..

  • @hobbyguy , IMO the best way to get these better engines on the market is "low production" not mass production...

  • @InteriorCommando Things always "go away" when they proof to save too much gas. Have you ever heard of the German Elsbett engine? Same thing happened to it, it just disappeared....

  • you could use go cart clutch against something stationary to prevent the wheel from spinning backwards

  • @osakanone

    not true

  • Will this really work just want it to be run by gas thats all im asking *gizz*

  • @BigMacdaddyAZ Hello,do you have a 3d model view of this engine design?most of your videos only show the front?

  • That is a shot video. But it is good for something!

  • The problem with using water inside piston engines is quite apparent when you try and compress water.
