Thanks Boob,
nice of you to be so polite. What I've spoken of is fact, if you would like to check it out you will find the U.S. Military has the technology currently. Fact: Henry "Smokey" Yunick was alive and kicking in the 1980's and the three big auto makers offered him $200 g's for the rights to it. Fact. As for the backyard mechanic, that's exactly what Smokey was, and well paid for it. Barnyard BOb -- mumbled: The fellow of which you speak is Henry "Smokey" Yunick. He was my hero back in the 50's, when I was the average impressionable teeny bopper subject to spouting stuff like you. FWIW.... Imply what you will, but there is NOTHING to look into application-wise, where surface radiators are concerned or anything else that a backyard builder can readily put to use. http://www.bankspower.com/tech_coolair.cfm Barnyard BOb -- 50 years of flight Wooduuuward commented: There is an engine in the U.S. patent offices (so nobody can use it) developed by 'Smokey' who wrote a self help column in Popular Science magazine for years, that doesn't use a radiator. It takes the heat from the engine and uses it to preheat the fuel to pre detonation temperature and thus allows 55% of fuel energy to be used rather than the 12% now used in conventional engines. You should look into this. I became aware of it a few months ago. It can be found in the 1980 or 1984 issues. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ |

Henry "Smokey" Yunick already did.

I further postulate that the reason is because it doesn't work very well, is extremely difficult to fabricate and co$t$ too much for the supposed (and as yet undetermined) benefits. But if you feel you can build this type of system, perhaps you should. Then you can tell the world about your success. Corky Scott |

He could pull more power out of an engine than just about anyone else who called him a peer. But for some reason, this cooling system he invented/fabricated did not become widely known. Wonder why not? Could it be that it was too expensive, too hard to fabricate and too vulnerable? Corky Scott |

You're the ****ing boob and a very gullible one at that. This is a PATENTED invention, right? Nobody can LEGALLY build this engine without paying... assuming one even had the talent and money to do so. Assuming the 'military' does have this technology, it must be not be too damn hot if they have not made use of it in the last 20 years. You're continuing to waste everyone's time with your impractical nonsense and visions of grandeur, bonehead. Barnyard BOb -- resident curmudgeon |

the adiabatic engine in Popular Science, used almost no water to cool the
engine because it was designed to run red hot. It was designed and tested in small car by Smokey.

The military is exempt from patent restrictions, I doubt that statement is true, but I have no facts to either prove or disprove the statement. In any case, the U.S. military does not (as a rule) manufacture much of its own equipment. That is done by subcontractors who are very much bound by U.S. patent law. Russell Kent |

Russell Kent Actually, the normal U.S. military development contract has a clause called "authorization and consent" that specifically authorizes the contractor to infringe on any patents that it sees fit too, and whereby the U.S. government consents to accept any liability associated with this infringement (i.e. they agree to allow themselves to be sued by the patent holder). Believe it or not. |
