This New Tiny Rotary Engine SHOCKS The Auto Industry!

This thermodynamic process is well known since 1984 (or longer?) since my exam paper in the main subject of combustion engines. It ended with a running prototype with elongated decompression. The process was called: Sailiger process with elongated decompression. Paper in german, accessible to University members, or from me. New? I lough my ass off. But for sure a good idea. But nobody had a interest back then. They were stupid in those days. It was a desaster for me. I wish this project comes to a good end. Maybe I live more some years, to see. Good luck.

This company has been saying "next year" for years. It's similar to how fusion energy has been just a few years away for decades. P.T. Barnhum would be proud.

Wake me when its working as advertised and at least one major engine maker is selling them

This is the most promising system of combustion system. No valves = no energy loss, the sealing between the piston and the 'cylinder' seems to be solved aswell. Amazing!

Three things you can look at forever: How fire burns. How water flows. And how this engine will be put into production "next year."

20 years and there are no production engines in operation millions of lawn mowers could use a compact 25 horses so could snow mobiles ,ultralight airplanes and boats

I want one for a generator for a sailboat. Use it to help power an electric engine. Weight matters on sailboats. And having a light weight, fire protecting, diesel generator would be amazing.

Love to see it as an APU and Range Extender.

Looks cool, seems viable conceptually. However the same thing could be said for every other revolutionary ICE we've heard about in the past. They give some clues here it seems about what their issues could be. They highlight the power to weight ratio, but unless i missed it they didnt talk about efficiency or emissions (which was where the wankel has issues). In stationary power generators, it's running at one power and rpm setting, so you could guess it has issues when operating outside that one sweet spot band, as would be the case in a car or a motorcycle, with constantly changing rpms and power output. Same with being used as a drone engine, one power setting, and in that case the engine may be destroyed after an hour of use, so reliability and durability aren't needed. A small light high power disposable engine could have some narrow applications, but not the ones we usually think about, ie motor vehicles.

What about seals and rotor ware

It does not have apex seals in the rotor like the Wankel engine, but rather the seals are static in the rotor casing, but are still necessary, although being in the casing would make it easier to inject small amounts of lubrication directly into the apex seal. The real useful life cycle between maintenance is 1000 hours in the most optimistic cases, which practically rules it out for mass commercial use. The United States Army has shown a lot of interest. They are ideal motors for electricity generators. compact, light and very manageable, as well as perfect for UAVs and unmanned vehicles or surveillance or espionage drones. Just as with airplane or helicopter engines and tanks, there would always be a new (or rebuilt new) unit waiting to replace one that is going for maintenance.

They have been touting this engine for years. Liquid Piston will be the oldest engine manufacturer before they even start manufacturing engines for public use. What’s the delay?

This appears to be a very exciting development 👌👌👌

Excellent video sir. Good. God bless the inventor.

Sounds good. Ideal for hybrid cars. Use these to charge the batteries.

I have yet to see any sales by liquid piston except to the US military. I can't understand it. It looks like a good engine for everything from edge trimmers to light aircraft.

Man I LOVE this concept but WHY is this concept taking Sooooo Long to get off the ground???? ... Is the Torque too low? .....what's the problem. Why is there only one small golf cart engine???

I love that engine, the best ice engine ever, it needs to be developed .

Been milking this for years. I put it in the water motor and turbine bin. Regardless of the obvious friction problems there are more viable engines closer to production.

With the apex seals on the housing, they should make them externally accessible so they can swapped out without taking apart the engine. If you can change the seals like you change spark plugs, this engine would have a chance.
