unique engines

[Barry Donovan]

the linear to rotation mystery of all internal combustion.
the basics are balanced or counter balanced..
these caught my eye, I wonder what else is out there.

claims of a concentric rotary..the spark plugs are spinning in circles with it. I wonder where the plug wires go.

rotary vane engine
this is interesting..today round geometric strange fantastically looking shapes could be made.
when I saw the load of one determines the others fire.. I thought of a 2 or 4 cyl boxer.

russia proposed one for hybrids already:

do anything but make a benz crank self balanced four cyl boxer.

kugel motor



I could not figure out how it went back to linear.
seems to use electro magnet (engine) in there too, where the glass is.
A slow jet engine seems to be the simplest.

thinking of nature, natural power...

steam or rivers or wind or sun.
not even about being green. it is where longevity is.

natures unbalance creates sprites..we defy that to do something at all times for as long as it can.

self balance and a turbo seems to be getting close. can't possibly do anymore..

Any engine without piston return springs is ok in my book...

good way to put that.

But can you make sound like a BB!

a playing card in the spokes works every time.......

how to make a 3 main bearing 1781cc boxer engine sound like a motorcycle...add two more cams and a custom intake.

I think this may fit the profile.

csrv, interesting.

the X and O of opposite realms putting stuff together. that always means insane.

OHC has no pushrods.
I wonder if they could give OHC its own "cam crank", valves hard connected.

instead of a spring, the suppressor of banging around could be built into the valve stem, that would be lash adjust.

another way for less parts. still silly.

most of all, is self balance. Seems funny all these targets in strange results..and no one even balanced the ICE original design to be self balanced excpet for boxers.

why not start with the heaviest weght in bad theory.

alot more power to be had.

over unity

I know this can happen. My boxer climbed hills on the highway with no running control of the engine. I simply went over the foot pounds rimping on it, the crank pulley came off. To my surprise, the car stayed where it was at. No throttle control, power steering. the brake pdal did something bizarre. hard feel but not as powerful. no alternator, water pump, direct fan.

it just kept going. I kept my feet off the pedals. no gas given. 6 miles went by.. I took the exit ramp. took it out of gear, and it simply shut right down. being a throttle cable driven singular injection. the pedal up is throttle closed. no ifs ands ors or buts about it.

it was riding a 42 pound flywheel.

if a source of balance over rules the weight that keeps it alive...
awesome concept.

realistically. walk 30 miles with agallon of gas in your hand, and wonder how that one gallon can carry 3000 pounds the same distance at 65mph..

gas in a way is an over unity.

lack of balance is like slamming doors. it does have enemies to stop it, defending themselves against the disruption.

I just thought of this .. a neighboring apartment has this 4 year obese girl, obviously autistic.. bizarre compilation of human.. but anyway. she has no concern for what is around her. very loud, stomping, slamming doors.
it is like some engineering to be that unfit. to step up and say something is just as rude.

explains alot of things in engineering.
