Road Warrior, I enjoy reading your posts and appreciate your knowledge which is obvious to me, and far superior to my own in certain specific fields.
I actually have a specific design for my engine patent that is applicable to a HHO fuel supply. You do not need much compression to ignite hydrogen and oxygen as they come out of a generator.
My focus has been more on the mechanical causes of inefficiency in internal combustion engines, and my design addresses most of the causes of energy losses that are inherent in reciprocating IC engines. My design eliminates the reciprocation of every part in current engines in vehicles worldwide.
You say that is not possible, based on your understanding of engines. I say give me two hours of your time and I will show you it's not only possible, is absolutely practical.
Can an engine magically transform itself into a flywheel storing it's own rotating mass as energy available for application.
Yes
Can you build an engine that has no valve train, no cooling system, no induction system, no necessity to restrict airflow to control power, no connecting rods.
Yes
The same engine can also serve as capacitive storage for regeneration forces when deceleration is necessary.
Yes
Also never idles.
Yes
In another configuration the same basic design serves as an infinitely variable transmission, one in each wheel, that weigh less than the brake components you no longer need, and can regenerate 90% of your deceleration forces.
Yes
In fact after 5 years of banging on doors, thousands of emails, personal trips halfway across the country. 6 trips to my US Senators office, letters to practically every govt agency you can name, I finally got one person to listen objectively.
This fall Virginia Tech will build a prototype of my design, CAD everything, and build a testable example that can give us real efficiency calculations, that if they approach 90%, will change the planet in the next 50-100 years.
If the efficiency reaches the point that I believe it will, it could be one of the most important designs ever concieved on this planet.
Do you believe me?
By Christmas this year it will not matter whether you believe me or not. It will either be the powertrain of every vehicle on the planet within 20 years, or it will be the first design of an evolution of such a powertrain.
Will I ever see a dime from my original idea?
Probably not.
Could it could cost me my life.
Possibly.
You see I am kind of old fashioned in my beliefs, one of those gullible old dummies that thinks each person on this planet has a responsibility to leave it in better shape than he found it.
Every bit of knowledge about increasing the efficiency in vehicles that I have learned over a lifetime is incorporated into this design.
I have stated before when the vehicle is properly designed, it will not be possible to improve its mileage by hypermiling, because the vehicle will hypermile itself.
Any person with no knowledge whatsoever can jump into this vehicle start it up and go, without any skills whatsoever and get fabulous mileage compared to what is available today. it doesn't matter whether its a 2000 pound car or a 7500 pound SUV it will still get almost twice the current mileage with power to handle every concievable situation.
Believe me?
If you don't I can certainly understand it. It's the holy grail of automotive design. Why would I be so egotistical to think that I have the solution?
I like to think of it as bone headed determination, and a never say quit attitude. Kind of like the guy who uses his face to break your fists in a fight.
regards
gary
