See Thru Liquid Piston Rotary Engine - In Slow Motion
Переглядів 5,726,385
День томуI 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!
@1983ponyboy Рік тому
Water worked really good for breaking up the carbon. I had a 12A that was babied its whole life, and it was all sorts of carboned up, got a gallon of water, put a water injection jet on a hose, and held it at 4 grand spraying at 2 second bursts. I was amazed how much carbon literally came off of this engine. I stuck a camera in there and it was nearly spotless.

Wasn't the original maintenance recommendation for the older 12As were to rev it to the moon once in a while? I seem to recall an old 70's documentary talking about this. No wonder people loved the damn thing even during the Oil Crisis lol

Hey GR, when I read your comment I laughed. I had a '91 RX7 Convertible and I was careful to blow out the carbon every chance I could! That car might not have been the fastest top end car I ever owned (I think my 300ZX was faster) but I never had a car that was as quick. Punching it while entering a freeway onramp meant entering the gray area between exhilaration and soiling one's pants.

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.

Of all the comments I've looked at, I haven't seen the simplest, most basic questions: What is the working displacement? What rpm range does it operate at? How much hp and torque does it make, and what is the powerband like?
@alanhat5252 Рік тому
"4hp" is stated though none of your other questions seem answered. The moving parts seem lightweight & moving with low acceleration compared with piston engines so I would expect very high RPMs to be possible, maybe painfully high pitches or even ultrasonic, especially if the exhausts are combined into one.
@Arturo-lapaz Рік тому
Geometrically :very high compression ratio, but achievable depends on the seal leakage. They were not able to obtain compression ratios to achieve compression ignition, For the demonstration the use methane and spark ignition. The real problem is the peripheral face seal at the corner designed to seal the front and rear walls. The problem Cooley had after he invented exactly this in 1903. Incidently, Cooley also had a two and a four lobe design, later expanded with 5, 6 and more lobes.
@Arturo-lapaz Рік тому
Erik, The mathematical treatment for the ideal trochoid is simple, as far as displacement is of interest, The rpm is limited by the structural design of the seal, where the inflection is hard to stiffen due to the centrifugal load. Power is proportional to the product of average torque and rpm. P = T × rpm × 2π/60. S I units

@brianb-p6586 2 роки тому
Sort of yes, except that the Wankel housing really is peanut-shaped, meaning bigger at the ends than in the middle (it's technically a two-lobed epitrochoid), while this rotor is a simple oval (semi-circular ends connected by straight sides). Similarly, the Wankel rotor can be a simple Dorito-like triangle (although in practice the sides are usually circular arcs, which is a Reuleaux triangle, to increase the compression ratio), while this engine has a rounded three-lobed housing. They're related, but not the same shapes.

this might actually be really bad, cause that face is going to heat up and expand more than the other if not properly cooled, and that can start a lot of problems. It's similar to what happens in rotary engines, were the chamber heats up too much and the engine doesn't run properly. It would be interesting how they manage to solve this problem with bigger engines (1 - 5 L, turbocharged hunderds of horsepower, etc)
@man_on_wheelz 2 роки тому
@@xxoan.1613 I thought about that too, like, that face literally never gets a break and it appears to be made exactly the same as all the other faces. Which, like you said, could cause it to expand like crazy under high-stress conditions. Only thing that seems to be cooling it is the minor whiff of exhaust gasses.
@nickopedia5669 2 роки тому
@@man_on_wheelz Makes me wonder if that whole rotor is made out of inconel. But that area does have air flowing through it and you can see the cooling fin density is absurd on that part, so maybe steel is up to the job. Edit: actually at 3:29 you can see there is a TON of clearance. That rotor could literally be glowing red hot and still not have any issues. They just let the reverse-apex seals handle it by giving them plenty of travel I guess.

@@xxoan.1613 you do know that normal engine pistons do also expand and they have to take that into account. that's why in high horsepower engine you will hear a bit of piston slap when there cold. its also why you always let an engine warm up there made to be under load when the pistons are warm and expanded to the right size. ask any one who has done a forged piston swap you have to take in to account expiation. also if you look on the power face of the piston it has cooling fins.

Interesting design which is good because it gets rid of the unequal heat distribution of the Mazda Felix Wankel design but this design probably still suffers from less torque than a typical piston engine and probably suffers even worse from excessive surface to volume ratio which in any case could be circumvented with direct injection if you go to that route.

This achieves the shortest distance for flame travel in all directions. This combustion chamber seems to be like a quarter of a sphere. It seems like if they flipped another housing over and bolted them together they would have a hemisphere which would be the best you could do given the fixed shape of the rotor.

Engines that consume oil as part of the combustion process are doomed from the get go. This engine is DOA.....
@edifyguy 2 роки тому
@@jfisk60903 Not necessarily, but they do have an uphill climb in this emissions-paranoid era. It is possible, with the right oil and a good catalyst, to meet the stringent (ridiculous) emissions requirements in place in many places today even with an oil-burning engine. It likely would be a somewhat expensive oil. However, in areas that test emissions, using the wrong oil will cost you big money as you'll ruin the catalyst and they'll make you replace it or stop driving the vehicle. All that translates into a vehicle which will be niche, but rotary engine vehicles have always been niche.
@rubiconnn 2 роки тому
Rotary engines are just a poor engine design. Even in situations where reliability is not a factor traditional piston engines are superior. Look at drag cars. The engines in them are rebuilt after almost every run. They still choose to use traditional engines because they work better.

I should have known when the Oil pressure shot thru the roof something was up. I'm glad to see that you guys didn't give up on this technology. I will however be interested in how you locate the spark plugs for easy access :)
@terryvickers5986 2 роки тому
Easy to access spark plugs. Simply remove the engine cowling, or include access plugs when building/modifying the aeroplane. You should see what is required to change the plugs in a v form transverse engine, with half the plugs facing the firewall. It requires a mechanic with special physical attributes, long skinny arms and small hands. Helps to be triple jointed.

@jvincent6548 2 роки тому
I remember back in the early 80s machining a glass cylinder head for a singly-cylinder piston engine so that we could fire a Laser Doppler Anemometer into the combustion chamber to 'measure' what was going on inside. This was before computer modelling etc. and it was the very early days of research into exactly what was happening inside a firing piston engine. We built a rig to traverse the 'laser measurement volume' in three dimensions across the combustion chamber to a few degrees before and after TDC. We fed the data into an ICL 2960 mainframe to process the data to give us a chance to 'visualise' the air-flows inside, before and after ignition of the fue;/air mixture.
