Food for thought: on same crankshaft, imagine a permanent magnet motor integrated into the shaft. So serves two purposes: 1 generating electricity like a a stanard alternator *OR* 2. Applying power to the electric motor to power assist the liquid piston motor and basically boost its output.
@ProDigit803 жыл бұрын
I said the same thing. Permanent magnets are the best, but apparently notoriously difficult to control (sync with the engine speeds). Permanent magnet motors are higher efficiency motors, that are best used as a generator only. I believe Honda uses them. And have a cog that allows some of them to rotate at speeds of up to 18k rpm. They are much smaller in design than even the liquid piston. Excess power can be stored in a battery. But all this will make the design unnecessarily complex and expensive.

An inline motor would be regenerative like an alternator but instead apply voltage to it and now the shaft rotation/torque are improved. You are in that case helping spin the crank. Power booster. Now make this motor/alternater also be able to draw in air while rotating to boost fuel-air mix pressure and you have a motor booster, a pressure booster (al electric supercharger of sorts) and when not driven, you get alternator and furl intake pressure boost (supercharger effect...boost intake pressure)

@@massexodus5756 Question is, if an electric supercharger/turbo, is in any way better than a regular turbo. Yes, it can be more instantaneously. On the other hand, it also robs power from the engine, in a way that a regular turbo doesn't. The exhaust back pressure losses from a turbo is much lower than any electric drain on the engine to push a turbo/supercharger, as the turbo/supercharger needs to be active all the time. (if it doesn't rotate, the engine will create a vacuum between itself and the turbo/supercharger). Meaning you'd get a constant energy drain. As such, it will be more comparable to a supercharger, which always has worse fuel economy than a turbo. The best thing to do, is get a permanent magnet generator, and an asynchronous motor, and a battery. The whole unit weighs more than a 4 stroke engine of 4x the size.

The next level for engine tech is a motor which has both electrical and combustion engines co-integrated.

Or you could use electricity to electrolyze water into hydrogen gas at a 50% efficiency at best, use more electricity to compress it so you can actually store it, use more electricity to get it to a filling station and then burn it in a combustion engine at maybe 40% efficiency. So all in all you could drive somewhere in an EV or you can spend 6 times as much to drive to the same place in the same vehicle but this time it's powered by a combustion engine burning hydrogen.

I'll be investigating the LiquidPiston further thanks to your content. 🙂👍 I love the elegant engineering to combat the typical detonation hot spot that wankle engines have (because of one combustion chamber) AND the geometry of the rotor itself to compensate for the difference in quenching distance for hydrogen. Thank you for including the slow motion of this combustion process, amazing eye candy. [Perhaps consider an edit with gasoline comparison (acetylene was nice, but different visually than gasoline) to show the huge difference in flame speed and quench distance between the two fuel types?] I'll be waiting with anticipation to see LiquidPiston's future iterations of this project and the potential for eventual improvement beyond petroleum.

The water doesn't condense in the pipe, the reaction product is gaseous water (steam) and any cold start condensation will quickly boil off from exhaust temperature. Hydrogen runs really HOT. You can't play with the stoichiometric ratio of H2 to O2 as you can with liquid fuel and oxygen. If anything you have to run it oxygen rich to reduce power of the stroke. If you run it H2 rich, you'd have a constant flame from your exhaust(and melt the tip of the pipe) as any hydrogen left in the exhaust product will immediately react with the atmospheric oxygen.

I'm confused. How does the engine lubricates?
@walker33953 жыл бұрын
When it comes to Wankel rotaries (triangular rotors) oil is commonly added to the fuel which lubricates the rotor and apex seals then burns off during combustion, just like a 2 stroke engine you’d see in a line trimmer or chainsaw, but with the liquid piston, I have no idea. I only really understand liquid fueled systems, so I’m not sure about the gas either.
@BenjaminGoldberg13 жыл бұрын
Since the seals aren't rotating, they could pump lube in through one side and out the other. With the see through plate provided by Warped Perception, this would have been ommited.
