You’ve Never Seen an Engine Like This: Rotary Vane Masterpiece

[@pieter4883]

I am, at this very moment, busy, building a vane engine, of which I have changed the shape of the oval chamber, so that it will deliver higher compresion, better combustion, and improved intake. I will share it with you, once I have it running.

[@makeintoschu]

IBetter first solve the issues with the sealing.

[@BienestarMutuo]

Yes, if you do that, please contact to a partnership to increase the efficiency 30% while solving the hot spot problem of this engine.

[@zhussip]

@pieter4883, I guess, I've subscribed to you, so I won't miss the moment of the creation of a revolutionary engine.

[@dianapennepacker6854]

Ever watch driving4answers? He did a video on it. Great channel. I highly recommend his channel for anyone who likes engines. He tried to make one which didn't go so well recently. I am generally an electric guy. Yet this would change the world with hybrid tech. One day maybe. One day when we have biological parts that can heal like a living organism. Just playing. That would be wild, and probably disgusting having biological/mechanical parts that regenerated. Vains made out of bone and tissue.

The automotive industry may not want a new product to come out that could disrupt or ultimately eliminate their cash flow

[@Johnsmith-zi9pu]

No chance of that, this vane engine is a failed concept that sucks in gullible people all the time.

[@duanegrindstaff9635]

What about sealing of the vanes?

[@acidflowsalt2321]

Driving 4 answers made a video about the rotary vane mysconseptions chek it out it contains ur answer

[@barriegregory6606]

This exact system has been used in compressors for 100 years, if this engine worked I think someone would have an actual working engine by now, I can imagine trying to seal the sliding vane without it seizing at high temperature would be difficult at least.

[@Hydrogenblonde]

How do the vanes get lubricated and cooled? How is that lubricant prevented from getting into the combustion chamber ? I think this might make a good chainsaw motor running on 2 stroke mixed fuel but i cant see it in cars.

[@BienestarMutuo]

Yes the hot spot is the second biggest problem after sealing, we have solution for the hot spot problem.

[@monstercameron]

did you just take the talking points from driving 4 answers and add fancy graphics?

[@blinking_dodo]

I think they did... This video is 2 weeks old, d4a's video is 2 months old. Suspicious.

There is a lot of rotary vane machinery in the field of pumps and compressors. In these applications the thermal requirements are not as hard as in the field of internal combustion engines. You can use well developed sealing solutions with very low friction. The movement of the vanes is usually done simply by centrifugal forces. In order to keep the forces low, the elliptic housing is usually not too much wider than the rotating cylinder diameter. Rotational speed is always a problem because you have to avoid oil or greeze. Therefore the circumferential speed is in the order of 1 to 2 m/s.The sealing at the rotating cylinder sides requires spring loaded solutions, which is not so simple. So many rotary vane pumps live with gaps and fluid losses. I can imagine, that in the field of lower operating temperatures, i.e. steam engines, rotary vane engine may contribute to the technical solution field. At higher temperatures you will meet much more sealing problems as in the case of the geometrical well defined rotor of Wankel engines. I think you have to use graphit or boron nitride for high temperature sealings which are self-lubricating. Also liquid metals like Galinstan can be applied for sealing and lubrication like in the case of displacer sealings for Gamma Stirling engines.

WITH A REFERENCE TO THE GM 2 STROKE DIESEL'S :ROOTS "" BLOWER/ EXHAUST- -SCAVANGER" STYLE OF SPIRALNESS, COULD THAT BE APPLIED TO THE VANE ENGINE?

[@makeintoschu]

Wankel has 3 combustions per 1 rotation.

[@zelcpavle5494]

Another great invention that will never be in our cars 🤷

[@f.k.b.16]

🤣

[@ncopp4358]

Exactly. This company sunk millions of dollars into designing a liquid piston engine and no company wants the engine.

[@makeintoschu]

@@ncopp4358 because it is interior for cars - worse sealing, it burns oil, worse fuel economy. Maybe it could be used in military drones.

[@symmetry08]

Heat dissipitation issue at higher speed and sealing is another. Oval chamber can solve problem and lower rpm will help with concentrated heat at combustable side. So, make it rotate slower, with oval chamber that has horseshoe sealings.

[@Johnsmith-zi9pu]

I f you believe this, I have an engine that runs on cold water, just for you. Providing enough lubrication for the vanes would snuff the spark and it smoke like a wild fire if it actually started.

[@Jamil-j5s]

Vane has 4-6 combustion events per rotation, wankel has terrible fuel efficiency and more terrible are oil efficiency and exhaust gases. So vane could be revolutionary

[@sbelllido]

Patented dozen of times, already constructed in several variations and make sound, turns but seems to have issues. In matter of fact, the big problem of the thermal engine is not the mechanical efficiency. Is the enormous exergy lost due the way to treat the fuel+air reaction, and this architecture is far from solved it

[@acidflowsalt2321]

Rotary vane engine is just luquid piston on drugs

[@andrewseaman7012]

or anywhere else

[@spiroskatsikas]

This design has one big floor, the vanes will fail very quickly because of carbon deposit, i thought of this design many years ago, and pump can be used .😂

FOOL THINK ABOUT THE FUEL?
