Please go back and read wher I pointed out that a clever patentee will add additional claims on an on-going basis forcing the patent BACK into application state and not requiring publishing !!
MANY years. One of mine was filed in 2001, the compamy keeps adding a few things and it MAY get published next year ( we're running out of new ideas around the basic concept )

Patents on what by the way? Cams are invented, gear for contrarotating is invented and the pistion concept is invented. Used by Yoke befour.

HOW you use something is patentable even if the thing was patented before.
How you use a feature to deliver some NEW capability - additional power or efficiency is also patentable. So I can apply for a patent to use a micro revetec engine (say) to power a next generation laptop The engine existed, the laptop existed, my patenn would be for the application !! Anyone writing a patent themself tries to cover ALL those eventualities before it is published. Again, if you go back to what I said earlier post abotu patents then you will understand better.

So it's not to late to late to apply the patent for usage off the weel yet?
WOW

THAT is a correct statement IF you ahve some new applicaiton of the wheel. If you can find a way to use a wheel to cure cancer then you can patent it. You can't manage to patent it to move a vehicle ( Interestingly in nano technology there are patent filings abotu nano-hweels, motors etc )

I can get ritch.

only if you are smart enough to INVENT, smart enough to write a cast iron patent for a valuable application AND smart enough to spell

If a engine produce 400Nm at 3000RPM and is converted to a revetec design and then produce 3 times the torque..........................Revetec say they produce 3 times the torque, but the same power?
I find that sounding like a back yard mecanic from Texas.

You sir don't understand engines
On YOUR assumption then a long stroke engine with higher torque output should ALSO produce higher power than the same engine with shorter stroke/larger bore .... PS: They dont

Sorry guys
I don't buy it.

That's OK, we're not asking you to.
