Thought this was interesting....IF it works.


"The MYT™ (Massive Yet Tiny) Engine, a breakthrough of immense proportions, that will spawn the next industrial revolution, and will rocket the Internal Combustion Engine into the next milenium."

Makes very interesting reading!

And evan more interesting was the actual US patent doc.

There is also a video link on their website to L.A Autoshow demo, where they show the engine running on compressed air.

But if the idea is so good why not just run it on petrol etc?

Edit: added image of piston arrangement.

i cant find a section that describes what actually happens?

Animation of engine.

Works in theory(ish) but I can see the "pistons" getting very hot indeed along with the portions of cylinder wall that are subjected to the combustion. Also the power stroke seems to only push the pistons round one way, what keeps the other piston moving against the expanding gas?

Definate BBB candidate.
