3X More Fuel Efficient Gasoline Engine Prototype
Wonder how long till the gasoline companies buy out the patent and bury the technology. Why doesn’t wikileaks ever post useful stuff like technology that can save mankind, or the truth behind Area 51, or who assassinated JFK.
“A cool new high-efficiency gasoline engine prototype has no radiator, no pistons, no valves, no transmission, and no fluids (except for the fuel). At first glance it has a few similarities with the Wankel engine, but is more advanced. The engine is only suited for hybrid-electric vehicles, but that’s okay. The efficiency they are claiming: is over 3x what today’s gasoline engines produce. The developers, a team at Michigan State University, hope to have this engine on the market in the next two/three years.”
