Re: Neat Looking Engine

The video was really slow to load, but was interesting. I can imagine that cooling and lubricating the engine will remain significant challenges as it moves from the lab to the real world. I wish them luck. More options is always a good thing.

Re: Neat Looking Engine

A lot of hype, promises and no running prototype. Looks like another Dynacam debacle in the making.

Re: Neat Looking Engine

The video is six years old. This engine design has been around since the thirties. The questions he sidestepped about extreme cylinder pressure and oiling problems of the top end were the problem then, too…

Old design, new tech might make it worth building.

Re: Neat Looking Engine

Dynacam.....ahhh, the memories! I think I still have an 'investors' package from those guys somewhere in my hoard of stuff. Sure glad I never invested in that scam.
