bornfree Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 All these swirl plate designs have a basic flaw, the change from reciprocating to rotary motion is inefficient compared to a conventional engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedsanity Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Good video thanks but I fear the internal combustion engines days are numbered now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted May 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Good video thanks but I fear the internal combustion engines days are numbered now I think you may well be correct with car and small van engines but large tractors and lorries they will be finding it hard to get the power from electric I think the good old diesel will be around for a good time yet.
