Diesels Challenge Hybrid Drivetrains

Diesel engine is bad by design and should be placed in museum. It inherited many causes of inefficiency from Otto design patented in 1876. The causes have been handed down from generation to generation and still penetrate into engines under development for the future. The inventor of gun-engine spotted the causes and eliminated all of them by combining operation of diesel with gun. Thus inventor called the invention "gun-engine". The found needed design changes eliminated need for external cooling, thus eliminated radiator, as the gun-engine is only cooled by expansion of exhausts below atmospheric pressure, because exhausts when expanding produce work and cool down. The new design delivered practical engine, the efficiency of which matches the efficiency of ideal Carnot engine. I also detonates vaporized or gaseous fuels, which speeds up energy release from fuel about 1000 times and that is important, because power available from fuel is defined as energy release from fuel, thus less fuel consumption delivers better power and mileage.

The inventor converted small Suzuki into gun-engine that detonates vaporized fuel, which yields about 14 times higher pressure than max pressure Suzuki cylinder could withstand, so he lowered fuel supply to only 10% fraction of originally intended to prevent cylinders from bursting. Nonetheless the measured power output was read 40% higher than max power of the original Suzuki that was fully fueled. Zero toxic emissions were always observed and GHG emissions were cut by 95%. While measured torque was about 100 times higher than max torque of diesel consuming the same fuel, the gun-engine could be directly clutched to wheels, thus no need for energy wasting transmission. Who needs hybrids when gun-engine has improved mileage by 15 times?

My apologies to those involved in this thread as this is somewhat off topic.

"How is your Mossie coming along, any new fotos?"

The mozzie project is on hold while I finish the ¹/₃₅₀ scale model of the Star Ship Enterprise from the first Star Trek movie. So far it has consumed over 200 LEDs, 2 LASER modules and 200 metres of Kynar wrap wire. It also needs 5 microcontrollers to control all those LEDs which means a total of 6 one off handmade printed circuit boards. I have one finished and installed with the second one ready to go while a third is almost ready for printing, but there are still three boards that I haven't started on yet and they are all double sided boards so it could take me a while.

I've been taking lots of pictures during the construction and will write it all up for the mozzie blog when I get it finished. In the meantime here is a photo of one of the shuttle craft sitting on the shuttle bay fantail.

It's very much a work in progress but it will give you an idea of what the model will look like.

Back on the subject of the RC mozzie, I've flown both powered aircraft (Piper and Cessna single engines) and gliders but haven't flown models before so diving in with something as complex and expensive as the mozzie is probably not a good idea. However, my wife got me a ¹/₂₄ scale radio controlled flying model of the SR-71 Blackbird for my birthday so the plan is to learn first on a basic unbreakable trainer then practice on the blackbird before moving onto the mozzie. The flying experience will also help with the actual construction of the mozzie especially with the relatively new digital controllers that I plan to use. The one I am looking at is a two way system that utilizes two separate receivers in the aircraft to ensure a constant data stream. It also has a single back channel for telemetry on things like engine temperature, engine speed, battery temperature and voltage etcetera. All together much more sophisticated than the old analogue one model per frequency 27 MHz no telemetry or feedback system.

There is something that others might be able to help with. I plan to install a camera in the mozzie, probably a cut down web camera with a USB interface on it so I need a small wireless USB link that I can connect the camera to that will link back to a laptop PC on the ground. The idea being that it will make it easier to fly by giving you a pilots eye view of what's going on. If anybody knows of an appropriate wireless USB system I would appreciate any info you could supply.

Good move - learn cheap before flying expensive.....thanks.

A dumb question from an interested pilot, What is a "Mossie"?

The Mozzie is a ¹/₈ scale radio controlled model of the DeHavilland Mosquito from WWII that plan to build. You can read about how far I got before putting things on hold by following this link to my blog on the subject.

I have a "coffee table" photo book of DeHavilland aircraft. Very beautiful aircraft! (IMHO!) Somehow, your blog link does not work for me. I will try to link again after work.

If that doesn't work here are the links to the individual threads on the subject.

And when you add the defragmenting encabulation system previously covered in a video shared on the CR4 site several years ago, the homogenous synergism can become spectactular to resonate!
