New Gasoline Engine Prototype Claims 3X Current Engine Efficiency

Posted by Roblimo on Saturday April 9, 2011 @02:02AM from the shifting-into-a-higher-gear dept.

erfnet writes "A cool new high-efficiency gasoline engine prototype has no radiator, no pistons, no valves, no transmission, and no fluids (except for the fuel). At first glance it has a few similarities with the Wankel engine, but is more advanced. The engine is only suited for hybrid-electric vehicles, but that's okay. The efficiency they are claiming: is over 3x what today's gasoline engines produce. The developers, a team at Michigan State University, hope to have this engine on the market in the next two/three years."

Low resistance digital logic will power the future. Imagine speeding down an information superhighway at the speed of knowledge. The cyber world world of the future will eliminate racism, hatred, and reform gender roles--in short enabling circumspect and measured debate on important issues.
This is my manifesto, I will be hurd.
