lets have a look at some of the bullshit on the site... "0% harmful exhaust emissions." - as if!! it's combusting (or detonating if you run it lean) a complex hydrocarbon-based fuel - it will have all manner of combustion byproducts like a normal car engine - and if it can run lean, then probably a lot more nasty stuff that your average CAT would normally have to clean up. "High HP To Weight Ratio." - why does it keep drawing attention to this when it power-output is more likely to be related to fuel consumption and engine capacity? "No Oil Changes Needed." - sure? you think that scotch yoke is going to keep that huge center pin rotating with old oil? not a chance. Nearly every page of the site directs you to an i8-hosted site that harvests email addresses. Another purpose of the site appears to be to get you to purchase eBooks about the 'inventor' and his scotch yoke engine. Why are you concentrating on the 'can run really lean and can cope with detonation' story? piston deck destruction has very little to do with the mechanics of the conrod - it's to do with the failed combustion event. The piston and/or head metal fails because it's tried to contain an explosion but has failed. Unless the engine uses diesel-engine pistons then it's not going to cope with super-hot lean combustion that regularly detonates. How about you - 86TT - stay in your little world where every conspiracy theory about oil companies and engine manufacturers hiding wonderful inventions - perhaps you'll find enough time to learn how to cast and machine alloys, machine hard-steel and build your own little 50hp stationary engine? Have you considered that norbie might actually know what he's talking about? or is everything on the internet the unassailable truth? And seriously? who here would build their own engine from raw materials? [Report message to a moderator]
