A work of pure genius! - Brilliant "Revetec" Engine

[3yearsharehold]

Revetec I dont think this is the right place to threaten court action.

GTM Its great to have such support for Revetec , I see your support so great , l it could be seen as price sensitive, maybe your project should be posted on nsxa not here.
and as fare as tonka toys, I had a hand me down third generation and passed it on, tough as.

Raptor I as a shareholder cant see any benifit of a shareholder wasting time & money of a company in this way , lets hope common sense prevails!!!
You may need to change the name of your car "torched 300"
For F....k sake wake up and rid this bs.

3y, Brad had already addresed this person off-line as well.

He IS justified in bringing the public issue of use of domain names imho to the forum.
At least it can give some of us some fun in going over there and having a discussion about technical stuff whilst all he seems to want is to have a bitch-house for his personal gain about the business, individuals and otehr company's products.

We are doing our best to keep the BS out of here and perhaps you can do your part in PMs to fellow shareholders who act like pr!cks ?

Nobody wants to lose this thread for the technical forum it gives many of us to inquire and follow progress. Neither would I like to see a blanket ban on all shareholders being allowed to post. BUT, the actions of one idiot CAN ruin it for everyone.

So rather than giving any more fuel to this, let's get it back on tech .....

I hope that goes well. Rudd and his government need to get their head out of Toyota's backside and i hope your engine can contribute to that.

3yearshareholder: Sorry about the post, but I'm sick of wasting time dealing with people who are trying to cause the company grief and using up company time and funds to defend things such as our copyrights, and I can't believe it is someone who has a vested interest, just plain silly. He has already changed that website to one that is purly made to anoy me, but I have saved all versions of his website and will not let anyone breach our intellectual property and illegally register the domain in question.

The reason I posted what I did was a public announcement to anyone trying to breach our patents or copyrights that it will be dealt with. I'm dealing with it, and if he thinks it's a bluff, then he doesn't realise my duty as a Director to protect the company and the shareholders investment...Anyway enough said on here.

Cheers

On a different note, is the company still essentially two people? And how long before you can see Revetec employing new staff?

GTM
"For the last two months we have been developing a new trike specifically for the Revetec X4 Engine that includes a 5-speed transmission (upgraded from 4speed, the 5th gear will yield 100km/h @ 2,000rpm inline with the X4 engine sweet spot for efficiency), all carbon fiber chassis and body work (reduction of 60kg), underbody mounting for the radiator etc. etc. This has been developed from the ground up and required new designs, components, moulds, kevlar honeycomb, aircfraft grade carbon fiber prepreg materials etc., all done at no expense to Revetec. This was done so that the company has a very unique combination (Trike and X4 engine) for further promotion.

We look forward to having the new trike ready in about 1-2 months."

So can you tell us what engine you'll be using X4...X4V2 ?
As Revetec were sending the x4v2 to Orbital for testing with JP8.

[GTM]

The new trike is designed for the Revetec X4V2, the same engine that we tested on the Gold Coast. The X4 engine is a very versitile, I have seen the X4 setup for aero application with carburators and magentos and then adapted for fitment to the trike.

Check out radical radial engines for a laugh! I hope you patent rights pre date theirs???

Great news Brad

A very interesting engine, Revetec.

Reminds me of one I read about in a NZ Hotrod magazine, developed in the '20's & '30's in America. That engine employed the one-piece opposing pistons and "X" configuration for multiple cylinder applications, but differed in it's conversion to rotational force. It used a slotted plate adapted to the crankshaft and was ultimately the engine's weak point.
The ports were in the sides of the bore: Outlet near the base, inlet at the top. The main claimed advantage was the dramatic reduction in the number of moving parts, with the associated benefits:
-lower mass for a given capacity & output
-reduction in noise
-increased efficiency
-less heat generation, etc.
The story (fascinating but unsubstantiated) stated a 2-cylinder prototype was used for an outboard boat motor, and a 4 cylinder ("X") version fitted to the inventor's '30's Ford in place of the V8. Supposedly the thing kept destroying the 3 speed gearbox.
Just wish I could remember the inventor's name, and/or the issue number so I could retrieve the article....
Good luck with your engine, Brad and co.
