The Advanced 2 Stroke Engine that Doesn't Burn Oil.
Pat Symonds, the Chief Technical Officer at F1 announced this week that they are investigating a switch to 2 stroke engines and possibly different fuel options for 2025. “I certainly think that the internal combustion engine has a long future and I think it has a future that’s longer than a lot of politicians realise … Continue reading F1 Considers 2 Stroke Engine Future
Well documented is the energy wasted when throttling-back a petrol engine for idling or lower speeds, as we do all the time. This throttling causes a partial vacuum in the inlet system, against which each piston must be pulled on its induction-stroke, known as pumping-losses. This increases the energy (and therefor fuel) needed for each … Continue reading Understanding Cylinder Deactivation
A petrol engine is an air pump that is regulated by a throttle, and by its very name, the throttle does just that – it throttles how much air gets into the engine. However, in doing so, it creates a vacuum and this vacuum wastes a lot of energy. Your typical vacuum cleaner at home … Continue reading Why Diesel Engines Use so Much Less Fuel than Petrol Engines
This video is of the first start up of the V-twin CITS engine, and its unique patented pivot inlet valve and By-Pass valve. This test was designed to confirm the action and durability of these novel valves and their separate functions. The inlet-valve is self-driven by the pressures under the opposing pistons, and the By-Pass … Continue reading First V-Twin Prototype Dyno Test
