Sssweeetttt! Very impressive data there. I absolutely enjoy it all of those engines operation definetly, awesone. Thanks for your good report here for CR-4 forum. But so much of the good stuff have it consequences as well too and here I go with another brainstorming green idea as follow: -- "A Magnetized/Solar Engine" --

A) Similary to the 'Stirling' engine but heated up by 'Solar Energy Cells' when sun ligth is enough as heat source to make it work and back up by 'magnetic power' for when otherwise it make it effectively for operate under cloudy or nigth time conditions and so on.

B) When under 'magnetic power' mode simply put a set of strong magnets strategically positioned and operated as 'magnetics sliding/rotating valves' of compounded inverse polarity (+-) which slide/turn around on cylinders front chamber zone which will counteract in sync against piston head alloys polaritized materials in order to build up enough repealing forces in between sending pistons away with others piston in motion by such repulsion/attraction fenomenom.

C) These 'magnetics sliding/rotating valves' will play the instrumental function of keep up this --"Magnetized/SolarEngine"-- concept running by turn-flip-rotating in timing-sync automatically operation in order to attract/repeal engine pistons.

D) Also this system migth be apply to the famous -Wankel- engine which will be a nice modification as well due it rotors operation but by make it's housing a rotating magnetic field which will act as such repulsion/attraction motorized fenomenom explained applications on previous post before. Repulsion/Attraction effect and how to make it sustainable, that's the key concept here pal's! Ti'll next time around then!

Allset my friends let me know how you all like this kind of 'modinventions' so we'll stay in contact then further here in CR-4 technomall later on. And, I'll let you go now I'm over saturated with so much of the good stuff now as consequence, can't win isn't? Allrigth easy does it Buddy's!

Crank that Puppy-Up,

MC

Glad you like the animations (for which I claim no credit).

Your idea of using solar energy to drive a Stirling engine is a good idea to work on - depending on how much insolation you have available.

Your talk of extracing power from any system of 'magnetics sliding/rotating valves' is unfortunately a non-starter. Please don't waste your time (or anyone else's) pursuing this train of thought.

What do you think of a perpetual engine? HA HA. They've made rolex watches that work with perpetual motion energizing it.

So if the wearer of the "rolex watch" died and was buried with his watch, how long d'you think it would keep time?

Quote (from the paper cited below):

"... biomechanical energy harvesters generate electricity from people as they go about their activities of daily living resulting in power generation over much longer durations [1]. Self winding watches, for example, use arm motion to excite a load which drives a generator producing approximately 5 μW electrical [10,11]."

Well, I'll give you credit for one thing. You have at least coined some new phrases to go with your new laws of physics.

" compounded inverse polarity"

"which slide/turn around on cylinders front chamber zone which will counteract in sync against piston head alloys polaritized materials in order to build up enough repealing forces in between sending pistons away with others piston in motion by such repulsion/attraction fenomenom."

Good luck with your project.

In a nutshell, the parts go round and round rather than back and forth.

but then it is different from the radial engine .

The OP should have studied his/her textbook. It is (or at least used to be there) there in the earlier engine portion.

What a defination by tornado....Great dude keep it up..I think u need a overhual..A rotary engine does these sam­e four jobs, but each one happens in its own part of the housing. It's kind of like having a dedicated cylinder for each of the four jobs, with the piston moving continually from one to the next.You can call this a wankel engine.

Just for you info:Wankel engines are flop show.They produce tremedous torque.and very high Rpm.Suzuki frst used this engine in there bikes.Which developed 100Nm torque at 12krpm.
