noooice... love your videos dude keep them up. if you ever need ideas dont be afraid to ask your subscribers for future ideas

[syamilchinkitt]

Love how straightforward your videos are not like others who keep spitting non related bs at the start of the video. KEEP IT UP

[robertwoods]

It's nice to see a couple of actual working prototypes rather than just computer models 🙂

[pradeepkdahiya]

graphics/animation and commentary are very well done!

[anonymous-rbsr]

I didn't know there were companies actively working on fusion engines, very intresting, it'd be nice if you made a video covering that field in more detail

[eugenecbell]

Great content! Each of these needs a video of its own.

The mach effect drive relying on rubber washers. What could possibly go wrong?

The Avadi engine caught my eye in this lineup.. its got the minimalism of a rotary (somewhat with sightly more rotating parts) where it looks like a traditional piston engine mated with a differential to produce this gyroscopic 4stroke wonder.

I'm guessing the low-end torque is what would compele some to choose this over a rotary engine, or the inversed cousin (liquid piston).

Nice video, thank you for sharrng it :)

[nyplantingsgardendesigners]

How can I not like this? Thanks for the engine talk.

[cleonwallace]

Love your videos keep up the good work

I recall a MYT engine. Rotating piston combustion chamber. Have seen a few YouTube videos. Has been around for 20+ years. Any comments?

I love these videos...def one of my guilty pleasures (but, I don't need to feel guilty about my love of learning).

[garygwhicks]

Wow. New vids from this channel are always great to find.
This channel really does a great job explaining and presenting this new tech. Thanks.

This was a cool video, glad I found it 👍

Coaxial engine has a number of longevity issues, all those sliding parts will eventually fail unless the engine is highly maintained, not to mention tolerances will inevitably be a nightmare to deal with. there's a reason why there's not many linear parts in engines, pistons use slightly sprung rings to make up for clearance tolerances, and stem valves do eventually need their components replaced; though stem valves also don't see the forces of the piston itself, the linear bearings in the coaxial engine will see these forces and should have an expected shorter lifespan. Not to mention the issues with the rollers with the cam groove, more than likely their bearings will be the first parts needing replacing yet they're at the heart of the engine, which isn't good design.

The MA-250 is interesting, but also problematic. The engine cannot scale without a geartrain. Any attempts of scaling that doesn't involve linking two separate motors externally will inevitably make it a swashplate engine, like what Duke had designed, which has it's own issues. The internal gearing really isn't ideal, though is entirely needed, because the moment any other component fails in a way that produces shrapnel, those gear teeth are getting destroyed. Not to mention assembly will become a pain in the ass with how gears need to be set, a lot of dry assembly, disassembly, and reassembly just to shim the entire gearset correctly. The rotary disc valve is an interesting addition, but tolerances and sealing will be one of the biggest issues with this engine; iirc, rotary disc valves have always been problematic. Plus if you scale an individual cylinder, you start having to question the strength of the connecting rods, as it's a split design, the rods are inherently weaker than a singular, more solid rod.

CV Motion's motor is promising on paper but not in reality. Again, it's based on gearing, the moment you have particulate in you oil, those gear teeth are getting chewed up; then again the issue of if there's shrapnel from an explosive failure, like if a detonation happens to blow through a cylinder, if a bearing gets destroyed and shits its guts, etc. Gears are bad when there's a number of other components that could break and get caught in them, it's why transmissions and differentials, any geartrain component, are their own separate cavity; even a camshaft's drive, whether it's geared or chained, is in it's own separate assembly and cavity. Plus there's such little engagement between the rotary and linear components, if a set of teeth break you have a pair of dead cylinders. It's just not good for longevity, plus scaling becomes an issue as you'll need beefier components as you add more pairs of pistons.

Omega 1 is interesting, it's essentially combining a rotary valve with the combustion chamber. My main issue with it is that half of the volumetric footprint goes entirely unused, the top half serves no purpose other than having a matched disc for the intake and exhaust discs. If they could find a way to mirror the setup so that both the top and bottom halves functioned as an engine, then it'd be interesting, otherwise there's just so much dead weight and unnecessarily used space. I also don't see why there can't be more combustions per cycle, the current engine only has one per cycle, but due to the way it's made this seems unnecessarily low given how large the discs are. Between the two improvements, you could get at least four combustions per revolution, though this number could probably be pushed further.

But all of this is just trying to reinvent the wheel when there's not much reinventing to be done. We're at the point that we can't squeeze out more efficiency with simplistic designs, it's why the typical engine design is becoming so complex with different variable systems, because we're at the point that we need to minmax every little variable to squeeze out additional efficiency. I just don't see the point in making overly complex designs that do essentially the same thing as a typical crankshaft, or trying to find alternate designs that'll inevitably fall behind due to lack of being able to be variable. The designs are interesting, but they won't realistically lead anywhere, and it's far too late in the internal combustion engine's life cycle to be questioning new designs, as everything is moving onto alternatives for a variety of reasons.

i followed the mega (mach effect) drive for some time. im not convinced. its supposed to exploit local mass fluctuations that arise due to the nature of mass. the idea is that mass doesn't mean anything unless you have another mass to compare it to (applying general relativity to the origin of mass). the theoretical backing has some serious science cred, and if not for that id have passed it by like i did em drive. you push a mass while its heavier and pull when its lighter, its essentially a vibrator. typical reactionless drive shenanigans. supposedly, according to its creator, there is a "magic frequency" that will produced thrust if you hit it. thats where i lose interest. i dont think it would be that simple. you would either need to model, predict or measure the mass fluctuations you are trying to lock in on, and then synchronize your oscillations to it with some kind of control loop. using something like gravitational wave interferometry might be a good place to start. i think they are currently trying to re--jigger their experiment until they get the results they want. until they get their thrust above their noise floor its really not worth anyone's time.

Omega 1 does have "seals" its just they dont use any intermediatory seal to do the sealing. It will necessarily suffer from heat expansion problems due to the tight fit and the gap tolerance compromise needed to prevent it seizing will create the very same seal problems every other engine of this form has had. I hope I'm wrong, but really.... who's kidding who?

The GX100 is genius! With a few modifications you could turn it into a turbo-ram-jet, meaning it could achieve speeds of nearly mach 5, theoreticly of course. However, that would not come cheap.

2022: Developing new petrol engines is a bit like wagon wheel innovation.
