Here is some interesting engine tech innovation.
The claimed efficiency of this thing is insane and check the estimated power output if you added forced induction....

Very interesting but why hasn't it been put into a practical application yet? It has been around 5yrs. I can't find anything in print or video, to show this thing powering and automobile. I watch a few videos but he just keeps rambling on.
You would think that if he wants to prove he has a good product that he would use it in a car.
I'm hopeful, yet skeptical.

 

His marketing plan is definitely a little strange.
He's planning to start retrofitting into used cars/SUV
I think he's a little paranoid about it being swallowed up & buried by big brother.

 

In the video he hints that he's been offered $billions$. Who in their right mind doesn't take a billion and run?
Everyone will still know who the inventor is...if that's what he worried about. Not that anyone with a 500hp/100lb engine with 100mpg would really care who invented it

 

Seems it has only been run on compressed air. Not fuel.

 

kinda reminds me of the guy who invented a water hydrolysis thing for an engine. Applied it to a dune buggy and had it running really well on water. Supposedly died of food poisoning after not accepting billions from the oil people

 

 

^He lived right here in the town where I teach. He held several pattons on the tech he created on the water motor...Its still a murder mystery that has gone cold case now.

 

Interesting technology. Doesn't sound completely like it's proven for real world auto use.

It's surprising as the patent holder he wouldn't have made a deal with a company or industry(ies) that it would benefit immensely.

 

"patton"? I hope you don't teach English.

But back to the point, this reminds me of Cold Fusion--it's the Mad Scientist Inventor who has invented something that may have limited merit, but hasn't been fully tested or assessed for marketability.

Remain skeptical, my friends.
