Two strokes of the future
toon:
I got bored one day at work and came across this. Looks like a company with top engineers and high goals!

Hondacrrider:
wow, now that is a kick ass idea, that'll shut up the, 4 strokes are cleaner argument
JohnN:
Hey toon,
Welcome to the board! That is awesome, you found the holy grail!!
The Grail Engine will exhibit the following benefits:
â?¢ Engine produces power every revolution per-cylinder as desired.
â?¢ Less pumping losses (greater air flow through intake and exhaust cycles)
â?¢ On-the-fly variable compression ratios (Miller Cycle) at full range of RPM's
â?¢ Independently configure each cylinder according to vehicle load.
â?¢ On-the-fly multiple fuel sources (i.e. fossil fuels, hydrogen etc...)
â?¢ Built in Super Charger for pre-compressing intake charge
â?¢ Built in inter-cooler for cooling intake air-to-combustion chamber
â?¢ Potential for forward & reverse operation
â?¢ Lower parts count attributing to lower manufacturing costs and reduced costs per unit
â?¢ Virtually no industry retooling required
â?¢ Liter for liter outclasses all four stroke engines in power to weight ratio and thermal efficiency
â?¢ Redefines the standard of efficiency and emissions in vehicle Internal Combustion Engines
â?¢ This is a true hybrid by achieving the Miller Cycle and HCCI simultaneously while producing
power for motion to a vehicle
â?¢ One Liter Engine Projections based upon vehicle weight and engine demand:
- 100+ MPGâ??s
- 180 ft lbs Torque
- 200 Horse Power
This is my favorite feature " Lower parts count attributing to lower manufacturing costs and reduced costs per unit"
Hondacrrider:
wow, 200 hp, for a 1 litre engine, and it get's 100 mpg, crazy
JETZcorp:
Well remember, one of the articles on this site points to a potential motorcycle with 200hp in a 500cc V4. That's the most impressive non-nitro power I've ever heard of.
