Thread: new type of engine

Tweet

Don't see it powering a car into the 9's......therefore, it's boring....

Wait til' you see the DVD Dave.

I think I'll reserve judgement until I actually see one running. There have been a lot of these "wonder engines" in the past, but somehow, between conception and birth a lot of them end up stillborn.
I wish them the best, but I don't think I will invest a lot of my money until I see some proof.

Much ado about nothing. It will never see the light of day. Every so often, some super gee-whiz double over and under throwdown new design shows up. There is much patting each other on the back and toasts all around, then you hear nothing else about it.

I'll bet most of you think the motor in a Mazda is a Wankel, don't you? It is not. Felix Wankel's original design had to be disassembled to change the spark plug and was a true rotary. What we are seeing now in the Mazda is a figure-8 elliptical design by Toyo Kogyo engineers.

If this new wonder motor ever does show up, it will bear no resemblance to what was shown on this video. And I really don't think it has a chance. Big oil will buy off the necessary Senators and Congressmen to pass legislation banning the design and that will be that.

tech i totally agree. it is a crying shame that some of the best inventions never see the light of day because of politics.

Toyo Kogyo??????? Isn't he some little dude or dog or something that Ed Sullivan used to have on his show?????

Its starting to get a little more difficult to just buy a patent and not use it.

You only need an energy starved country or a country without reciprocal patent laws and a new concept could get into production readily.

So much for the obstruction by the big money
