The number of parts needed to build a rotary engine is a fraction of a reciprocating engine, and many of the inherent problems of piston engines – and the intricate engineering needed to overcome them – are obviated purely by the rotary’s design. More on that... well, now, actually. ...
While it is a rotary engine, LiquidPiston’s X Engine is NOT a Wankel engine. It has a fundamentally different thermodynamic cycle, architecture and operation. Today’s solutions for power and energy are hindered by a lack of technological innovation. Gasoline engines are inefficient, diesel engine...
The overall structure and function of a motorcycle is quite simple. It includes a gasoline engine, which converts the reciprocating motion of pistons into rotary motion, just like the engine in a car. A transmission system transmits this motion to the back wheel. As the back wheel turns, ...
This is the part of the Stirling cycle that does the work. The left piston moves up while the right piston moves down. This pushes the hot gas into the cooled cylinder, which quickly cools the gas to the temperature of the cooling source, lowering its pressure. This makes it easier to ...
You will need to take off more metal on one side of the blade if the blade does not balance properly. If you use a nail in the wall, set the blade on top of it like an airplane propeller and see it balance. It is important to note that you must be very careful with this so ...
LiquidPiston was featured on How It’s Made, a documentary series from the Discovery Channel that offers viewers a look behind the scenes at how everyday things are manufactured. Watch our episode from Season 31 below for an in-depth look at the makings of LiquidPiston rotary engines....
A car provides transportation Lesson Quiz Course 40Kviews How Does an Engine Work? Just like how our stomachs need food to keep us alive, most car engines need gasoline to turn on and work. If we were to look inside a car's engine, we would see cylinder shapes. Each one of these cyl...
Like any internal combustion engine, the Grail Engine burns air and fuel and uses the resulting explosion to push a piston up and down to drive motion. But it's the way that the Grail engine does it that makes it so unique. As the piston travels upward, a vacuum is created underneath ...
How does a Torque Meter work? How to measure torque? Firstly, we need to understand the underlying physics and material science behind thetorque sensor working principle, which is thestrain gauge(akaStrain gage). Metal foil strain gauge is aforce transducerwhose electrical resistance varies with ...
How does a car engine work, step by step? Almost every car with a gasoline engine uses a four-stroke combustion cycle to convert gasoline into motion. They are intake stroke, compression stroke, combustion stroke and exhaust stroke. Why won't my engine start? Three fundamental things can hap...
