new scuderi engine that gets 63 mpg and torque of a diesel?

They said they perfected the "Miller Cycle" and modified into a new innovative compressed air (hybrid) reservoir for low torque no spark cycles. (Recharges by compressed air and pumps compressed air when no spark is needed (low torque)

Finally a damn innovation finally after 130 years of the same old 4 cycle engine?.......

Now it just gotta past government red tapes and testing.........

So far, it only exists in computer simulations, so, now, it's just got to get past the often unforgiving barrier of reality.

I rapid prototyped a shark/ice cream hybrid but it only exists in Microsoft paint.

/pipe dream, we gt these often unfortunately.

How dare you. I've got a (MS Wordpad) Patent on that. I'll sue. 😛

I'm surprised it doesn't run on water.

Did sagalore have something to do with this?

:hmm:

It would be nice but this falls into the "I'll believe it when I see it" category. If you dig around a bit you can find quite a few other companies that have claimed to have found a very high efficiency engine. Many looked good as a sketch on paper but failed once you started to deal with all the details required to make a functional engine.

There's a reason why the basic layout of an engine hasn't changed in so long, it's because it's a pretty good design.

How did they achieve a 3x flame propagation speed vs normal ICE...?

Supposedly from turbo and additional of the compression stroke by the slave cylinder.

lol, always gets in the way

The Mazda Millenia had a 2.3L V6 supercharged miller cycle engine.

Wasn't the most fuel efficient or powerful, but pretty innovative for ~1995.

this made my day...LOL

I had one for ~3 years. The car had some muscle and was reasonably efficient for 1995. I remember the sticker said 27mpg..but I think I rarely got better than 25 on the highway. Still, 210HP and 210ft/lbs wasn't bad for 1995. Funny that our A4 gets the same horsepower and ~50 ft/lbs than the old Millenia. And the torque seems to come much earlier with a much more linear increase in HP with the A4. Oh yeah, and while the A4 is also rated 27mpg on the highway, we often are getting 33+ even though it is AWD.

I fail to see how that is going to help...

Well, that's a lot of hot air pumped into that engine, it's gotta account for something right? 😉
