Watch the video at the bottom ..... Talk about "out of the box thinking". :biggrin:

PERAVES

Those balls need to be made out of "magic" for that to work.

I'm not aware of any device that loads ball bearings in "Shear" and gets away with it for very long.
 
Is there a way to translate that page into English?

Just watch the video and follow the tortured path of the support bearing balls that swim in products of combustion while converting the back and forth motion of the pistons into rotational force.

Wow. somebody has invented a motor with the torque of a Wankel, the complexity of gyroscope and the life span of a first gen "budget roller" cam.

Quit being so positive will ya? ;)
Some things take time my friend ..... The first internal combustion Otto Cycle engine did not start with the LS2 set-up either. :D

It is a great idea and looks like they have a working proto type.
How long and how good etc, I am not sure, but, the Wright Brothers only went 15 seconds (??) on the first flight. :D

In this design, there is a minimum amount of moving parts and it has a great weight advantage. I think the internals/ "balls" are made of some ceramic. :cool:
 
Interesting theory! I wonder what the volumetric efficiency would be? ;)

Sorry, couldn't resist.
But in all seriousness, I wonder how far it is from practical reality. Not having any sound or english translation of the actions.
 
It is a “Paradigm Shift”

I remember reading about all the objections in the old days of going from “Mechanical brakes” to “Hydraulic brakes”.
No one thought it would work (YES, it is b4 my time :tongue: )
Heck, even going to “Drive By wire” concepts are hard to grasp.

This is a perfect example of a “Paradigm Shift”.

What is a Paradigm Shift?

I think it is fascinating that we are still working AND coming up with brand new ideas for a better air pump.
One thing I learned over the years: Technology waits for no-one!

I think you misunderstood my post. :rolleyes:
 
Master Yoda says.. There is no try... Only do or do not.

I wonder how much power it would make with a pair of GT4788R turbos feeding it? :D

Very inventive and creative.
However, it's all irrelevant once anti gravity technology is finally released to the public.

Did I say that?

:eek: ;) ;)

Here's a teaser video.

In this universe, we need to work with the materials the stars gave us.

The guide balls that act like bearings (they roll and support a load) in this engine are sheared one way and then back, while they are expected to continue to roll, while swimming in abrasive engine exhaust.

Ceramics may be hard enough, but ceramic hates shear worse than metals.

For every invention you can find where the naysayers were wrong, there are 100 inventions where the naysayers were right. This one does not appear to be the former.
 
Besides having the balls in shear, it looks to me like the force from the combustion is almost perpendicular to the track the balls roll in. Kind of like trying to push a car forward by pushing sideways on the fender. Has got to be terribly inefficient, and greatly multiplies the stress on the balls.
