![]() Shin Gou wrote: http://www.greenengtech.com/index.htm Click on the "English" button on the left. The company claims it's a revolutionary six-stroke rotary engine. 120hp, 60lbs. Are they kidding me or what? Actually, the answer to that question is helpfully provided in their FAQ, question 5, "What will consultants probably say when I ask them about the Green Engine?" With answer "They will say we are smoking crack." Well, actually, their answer is a bit more long-winded: There is an engineering phenomenon that most all consultants disagree with each other, and there is a great deal of prejudice or competition between any of the various technologies. (I.E. Turbine specialists discount piston technology and vice versa). Furthermore, few consultants will give a positive report on any technology they are not directly involved with because of liability. Also, any consultant has a limited expertise dependent on their actual "hands on" experience, and outside experts can only get very limited basic information about a new technology which is being under development (Normally the most important technology would never be showed by owner). It seems that you ask a steam engine expert for questions about the jet engine. |
