bout time... it's only been what... a century?

 

Agreed considering I think the average efficiency that actually comes from burning fuel is like 20%, the rest is lost as heat. This is long over do, with lots of room for advances left to be made

 

Some of those seem very plausible motors. It will be very interesting.

 

You guys are way behind. I've been running Plutonium for years.

Looks like it makes great smoothies.

 

Some of those ideas seem like they wouldn't go far on a large scale, but I really like the idea of replacing spark plugs with lasers.
I think the Scuderi Engine would currently be the most feasible and capable design to introduce into the market.

Thanks for putting the link up, enjoyed reading it!

 

Check this out! This professor came and spoke to my engineering ethics class about this engine.

I think the one with double pistons in it would work insane

 

Hhmmm interesting.

 

Good info Tex, do you have anymore source links?
