Ok but being unlabeled there is next to no chance for me to give a complete explaination of what the graph shows... I guessed it had something to do with composite torque (i.e pressure times area times lever arm length combined with harmonic effects). I'm guessing it shows that for a single cylinder. Would you mind revealing what it actually is?Originally Posted by Kozy
OK so you are talking about claims of total thermal efficiency. I thought maybe you were talking about some of the novel combustion characteristics.Originally Posted by Kozy
My point was that because both the classical design and the revetec design are highly variable, finding some movement that is more efficient for one doesn't prove that the other isn't also capable of same.Originally Posted by Kozy
Interesting, very interesting indeed.Originally Posted by Kozy
Trust me I understand how depressing time-constraints can be to the scope of a university project.Originally Posted by Kozy
OK so we agree that at the moment the discussion would have to be kept theoretical (niether of us is going to build a model for practical testing at the moment). You never know your luck. However calculating thermal losses due to friction as well as bearing loads and harmonics would have to be relatively simple due to lack of data. Still I guess I could whip up some theoretical values...Originally Posted by Kozy
Personally I haven't done anything larger than semester projects so far (looking forwards to the bigger project coming up). I understand that you are reluctant to share so much work, with what is essentially a stranger.Originally Posted by Kozy
Hmmm... So if I do some calculations you would be willing to show some of the results of your hard work? I guess I could use that as an incentive. As I said though, due to lack of data I doubt my appoximations will concur with your data. Hopefully you can help out once I post the first draftOriginally Posted by Kozy
Power, whether measured as HP, PS, or KW is what accelerates cars and gets it up to top speed. Power also determines how far you take a wall when you hit it
Engine torque is an illusion.
Oh my, is this post almost 7 years old ?
I know of some old cam driven aviation engines.
The Farchaild-Caminez engine;
The title on this thread was changed wrongfully once.
It should be A work of pure genius? instead of A work of pure genius!.
Slowly the debate has turned into something more critical.
From day one revetec has claims things of doubtful nature.
3 times the torque with the same power and so on.
Claiming 3 times the efficiency since they could produce 3 times the torque using the same fuel, but when having a look at the kW vs fuel usage it was worse than a normal gasoline engine.
Brad has newer came up with anything useful in discussions and only refereed to he's magical design rather than having a healthy discussion about thermodynamical laws.
I'm still highly critical to the packing since the crank have to be two times the diameter of the stroke while a normal crank will have the same diameter as the stroke.
Now they claim to be the world most efficient engine, but under what conditions?
Under the conditions they claim it to be confirmed in test
The rest is mental masturbation on all fronts

Most of the content is just a collage of past photos, video and information, but the point is...
Why has it been created?
In the last announcement on the Revetec website (on 13/12/2010), they stated that:
"...we expect to travel overseas very early in 2011 to meet with the Board of Directors, Financiers and for Brad to present a technical presentation to a large number of staff in their auditorium."
Could these videos be part or all of the presentation?

I'd say just the usual "awakening" to social media that companies get to at some point.
But I'd agree, no coincidence and so suspect the company got some advice on how to do better at communicating to a much wider audience and to counter the numerous other "best engine design" animations that are widespread on social networks

Thanks for information and I will try to follow the instructions.

Never own more cars than you can keep charged batteries in...
It seems that Australians come with some good ideas. I read in the newspaper about a weekend in South Australia has a new concept for the electric motors that are much more effective. Ill see if I can find more information.

Im new to this site!..
Just wanted to check in with the thoughts of everyone regarding the Revetec Engine. I'm a share holder in the company and cant wait for this take off.....So sorry, I cant join in with the Technical Stuff,,,,,some of you guys really know your stuff.
All the best
