Interesting animation, but I can't figure out how it actually works..

Looks like bollocks to me.
Just a small engine in the centre, with lots, and lots, and lots of superficial 'covers' over it to make it look like 'engineering'.
Didn't see anything to support the subtitles around 'turbo compressor' or 'external combustion'.
Will probably be on sale on eBay shortly...from the same sellers if 'resistior' remaps.

Would help to see it rotated/run rather than assembled. To my mind its a cross between a steam engine 'force of combustion from another chamber' which drives a piston - expanding product of combustion entering the piston chamber in the style of a wankle engine because of the rotation of the piston assembly and crank around the final drive shaft. This rotation around the final drive increases torque. I think

A petrol engine is about 15% efficient, and a diesel about 20%. Modern electric ones are getting 80%, so even if the external combustion was electrically powered, you'd be losing efficiency at each stage after that...electric to steam/pneumatics for compression to power the pistons, and then finally to radial.

In that case you should be able to read how it works, as that should be on the patent...unless they've intentionally left it vague in the hopes of capitalising on othe people fixing their issues and then popping up in court with an 'I own that patent, please pay me millions of dollars for something I could never get working.'..Ducklakeview wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2017 9:41 pm Perfect Motor Corp have registered a LOT of patents for it.

I have no idea what was going on there. I have a nice prototype safety mech I built many moons ago. Looks a bit like that. Great paper weight too.

Does not really matter, Europe will start banning the sale of all new petrol & diesel cars from around 2025 in some countries, around 2040 in UK. Who would bother spending money developing a fossil fuel IC engine?????
Interesting concept and would love to see it running, design wise it is quite beautiful compared to the physical appearance of a modern IC engine. You could probably mate them together to make multi engine layouts, or one front and one rear etc...
