65 MPG Split Cycle Engine the Next Big Thing?

Well a turbocharged 4 cyl that get 65mpg, The diesels already get better than that, I think...Really need more facts...Here's a 1.5 lt rated at 74 mpg...

Here's a whole list starting at 86mpg...

But of course this is only half the equation, the costs associated with the vehicle must be considered...The amount of power being produced is good comparison....

Too bad we don't have these available here!

This Scuderi design has been illustrated on YouTube for some years now. It is one of hundreds (perhaps thousands) of modifications to the basic Otto Cycle engine that looks so promising, yet has failed, so far, to make it into production. Mazda brought us the Miller Cycle engine in the Millenia 20 years ago, yet where is it now? There have been dozens of clever rotary designs and scavenged 2-strokes, including those of Ralph Sarich. He became a millionaire selling his patents to nearly all the major engine manufacturers, yet no-one followed through.

The big question is: why not? The usual reason given is that the improvements were not regarded as worth the capital investment required. No doubt also that many were put off by the Wankel Rotary Engine fiasco, which bankrupted NSU. Motor manufacturers are a very conservative lot and, like airlines, many are never far from bankruptcy.

What we need is a billionaire entrepreneur to put up the money to fund a new engine for motor vehicles. When I see how Apple were sitting on $70 billion in cash a year ago (probably even more now), I have to wonder why they, (or Gates, Buffet, Trump, Turner etc.) don't try and do something for useful with their money. Too busy rolling around in it perhaps.

It is very possible that all proven or patented improvements that supposed to enhance and maximize MPG engines performance were all bought outright, kept in vaults for safe keeping by those rich people who have heavily vested interests in oil productions and other by products!

PS, this is nothing but a warmed over "pre-combustion chamber" from the 19TWENTIES, which was designed due to spark plug problems
