Get a Quasiturbine Auu!!

[Adydas]

Could this be the latest term to replace the old " Get a Rota Auu "..

New Design of engine..

Quasiturbine

Have a read..

http://quasiturbine.promci.qc.ca/

" Obviously, the increased power output of the Quasiturbine engine makes it superior to Wankel and piston engines "

Looks like a bit of a idea to save petrol seems it can use allmost any other fuel sorce, go to the pumps and fill up with a tank of Keroseane ( typo ) or something.

i saw this on how stuff works the people that designed it set out to develop the ,most efficient internal combustion engine, the design that uses carriages is cool as cos you dont need spark plugs it diesels off any fuel

[Adydas]

Pritty good idea.. apparantly they power a Go kart with one atm.

might be a few too many syllabols for the underage slappers and "g's" who are more likely to use that sentance on a daily basis

[aliluya]

Interesting read ... would be interesting to see it running in a car and hear what sort of noises it makes ...

[Adydas]

mr2sik well we cant please everyone huh.. but you may have a point.

a bit of an interesting read, it just seems like a jumped up rotary to me. they make a big deal of no crank but how are they going to output the power??? and the fact it can be used as a pump, any internal combustion engine is basically a pump and compressor. don't know about running steam through most engines but the steam turbines i've worked on don't look anything like that so i'd guess it wouldn't exactly be optimal. steam isn't environmentally friendly anyway, somethings got to make it (excluding using natural vents of course).

the main difference to a normal wankel rotary is that they talk about the varied sorts of fuels they could burn but its still going to need some form of apex seal which isn't going to hold up (with present technology) to the sort of pressure needed to combust diesel and the like.

also they're making a big deal out of the emissions thing, Moller over in the states (he builds skycars and powers them with his own sort of rotary engine which is infinitly stackable, ie forget quad rotors, you can make them as long as you want) has put engines together that produce something like 2% (from memory, feel free to flame me once you've proved me wrong) emissions compared to your average 4 stroke engine

the cam type one looks interesting but i couldn't see the rotor holding up to that sort of punishment for long, metal on metal??? how would they lubricate the inside of the combustion chamber???

cool idea though, good to see somebody's thinking outside the square. will be interesting to see what comes of it.

cheers

itd get shortened...

Getta Qbine AU!!

[Emperor]

I'd rather have a big V8...

[Leon]

I gotta a PP Qbine in my Datto with buckies bro

[Dell'Orto]

But does it pulse auw?

[3T-Rona]

But does it pulse auw?

u'd think so, just with a shorter 'pulse interval' if u will
would be like Le Mans quad rotor style (que F1 engine reving its tits off)

Just to bring to life an old thread... they have updated their website, and seem to have a bit of info there...
also found this on there, translated thanks to mr google.

The engine bay looks bare...

heh, love this bit.
"...has a 600cc engine in a compact car that, he said, can generate up to 800HP and all the torque you could want"
What is it that they say about things that sound too good to be true?
oh yeah... they probably are.

If he is right... by the looks of the size you could have 800HP motorbikes... could be fun
