See Thru Liquid Piston Rotary Engine - In Slow Motion

I Run The Liquid Piston Rotary Engine in Slow Motion with all the Inventors and Engineers at LiquidPiston (A Worlds First) to see what is happening inside this new revolutionary Rotary Engine While it's running and how it's so much different than the Wankel Rotary Engine produced by Mazda for the RX7.
This engine reminds me of the Mazda Wankle rotary engine but the difference is it seems like they have solved all of the issues that the Mazda engine had.
I am very excited to see where this engine is going I would love to see this thing powering a car because the power to weight ratio is absolutely insane and the thermal efficiency is out of this world.
definitely check out my other channel for all of the interviews from the inventors and going over the previous versions of this engine.

I was a Mazda service manager at a dealership back in the day, and the biggest problem we saw with the RX7's was that the owners babied them. They didn't run the engine at high enough RPM's to clear the carbon build up on the original 7 piece apex seals. When they got towed in all locked up, my head shop mechanic would break them loose with a wrench, get them started running really roughly, then literally put a brick on the gas pedal and go to lunch. They would blow huge clouds of smoke for a while, then start to smooth out, then gradually clean out and end up running great! I might have already sold the customer a new engine, only to find out the engine now ran just fine. Saved the owners a lot of money!

I worked for Mazda N.A. for over 14 years and assembled (by my calculations) about seven thousand rotary engines and assembled thousands of rotors and associated assemblies. This was over twenty five years ago and I'm very pleased to see that the rotary engine has advanced to this incredible engine. It appears that you have found solutions to the apex seal, side seals and the eccentric shaft. Three combustions in one revaluation instead of just one. Truly amazing. Congratulations. Now make it bigger. Thanx

I inherited a 1980 RX-7 with a rotary engine soon after starting college. I'd worked on tons of 60s and 70s cars at that point in my life, rebuilding about 30 engines. I had no idea what or how rotary engines worked so I ask my Math professor and he sent me directly to the Engineering department. I was lucky enough to talk to two professors who were also rotary engine owners and fans of the technology. After a few talks they both strongly suggested I switch my course of study from Math to Engineering and I did just that. I had an amazing career as a mechanical design engineer working for NASA, the DoD and other Aerospace firms across the country and around the world. I have the rotary engine to thank for all that.

Incredible and amazing. Took my breath away with this. I always thought someone would find a way and have waited 58 years for this.

[Punisher_]

The fact that you gave credit to the engineers at the last was a great gesture man ❤️

[ProjectFarm]

Awesome!!! Hoping to see more videos on this!

Wankel: Doritos inside peanut
Liquid Piston: Peanut inside Doritos

[hootinouts]

This technology is pure genius. What is takes to design a system like this is astounding. The criticality of the tolerances and the synchronization of everything to make this all work is beyond awesome. My hats off to all involved here. I have a very technical mind but it pales in comparison to those involved with the technolgy featured in this video.

[Dxco]

No more doritos rotor, and welcome the new pringles rotor

[evergreatest]

I am here from your community post. The audio and video quality are unbelievable for a 51 year old video.

[DrPeppa]

I've always loved the way the rotary engine worked, it's just so cool. I hope these guys are able to continue developing this cool technology

[brianbrewster]

That was very commendable to give credit to the engineers at the end. I still feel pound-for-pound that this lightweight rotary engine can be used in many applications today, perhaps on motorbikes and gocarts.

[crabnix]

FIrstly we had a dorito spin inside an oval...Now we have an oval spin inside a dorito. Thats great!!!

[THESLlCK]

LOL so the chamber looks like the rotor and the rotor looks like a chamber, that's CRAZY cool!!

[smallenginesgarage]

Im pretty sure this is a revolution in the rotary engine world, it would be cool to see a bigger version inside a car. Great job!

[ShuRugal]

These engines are very exciting. Not just for solving the seal issues, but because the geometry makes high compressions possible.

[THESLlCK]

these dudes really threw away the whole book and started from scratch, this is INSANE

[johnxsantos]

After watching this I realized that the design of the rotor looks like the walls of a conventional rotary engine. It’s basically a Wankel rotary that’s inside out ?

[sixstringedthing]

They're gonna come into work one morning and find Rob Dahm camped on their doorstep with a sign saying "I'm not leaving until you tell me EVERYTHING". :)
Great video, and some really interesting development work by these guys. Talented engineers. 👍

As an engineer in my mid sixties and with thousands of deployed team designed and implemented products worldwide, I appreciate the recognition of the role the team has had. With one exception (Kobe, Japan) our team has never received recognition beyond a one-time casual verbal congratulations at the time of delivery although the efforts were always beyond role descriptions (in most cases, salary is just a byproduct of the passion the team members have invested, by far not reflecting their true engagement and the outcome value).
