I mean, the OP video was about the wankel engine then it goes off topic to talk about some vaporware engine, and I'm like, piston engines still have a lot of development potential.
Turtles are cool too I guess.
We have only begun to scratch the surface of internal combustion configurations.
100 mpg cars will become commonplace eventually.
vaporware engine
What do you mean? They have running engines, a DoD research contract, and have multiple fuels and sizes confirmed.
Does vaporware mean non-production? Normally vaporware means nonexistent or imaginary.
I mean, where is it? What is being powered by those engines? As far as I can tell not much, it's interesting tech, I just would like to see practical application of it, I'm anxious to consume product.
Their current audience is DoD. Which means they have to pass crazy specs with lots of testing. Commercial offerings are unlikely for at least a decade.
I LIKE TURTLES
They should call it a turtle engine cus oval shape.
Scotty rocks
While we're at it, what's the best nozzle shape to increase flow speed of a vortex ring? Oval? Triangular? Trapezoidal? Blade? Circular? The literature is thin in this regard.
