Strange new engine, and it runs

Saw this on the web and know that gearheads would love it

Be sure to watch the last video and see it runnign

 

Spins right along, doesn't it? I can see possibilities for generators and other high-initial-cost/low maintenance cost applications.

 

I understand the machanical operation, but not the intake and exhaust systems.

 

OK, tell me where the exhaust goes? Looks like it would go into the engine working parts,
The exhaust has to go into the engine, and the fresh air comes from the blower blowing fresh air into the case, and somewhere there is an escape for the exhaust?

It does say it is aircooled internally!

Thought it might be interesting to people.

 

Wow, that is NUTS! Can you imagine what would happen if just one piston cylinder combo got misaligned? I'm sure it could use a few more moving parts, too...

I'm left asking...WHY?

 

That is a complex unit! Wow. No lube needed, direct injection and spark within the piston / cylinder. I dont know how the exahust or fuel actually get to thoes moving parts. I agree with Exwestracer, one slight tweek and that motor is toast. But its always good to see people coming up with new ideas, especially when they run on gas.
