Sun, 23 October 2005 05:51 I think the difference in this engine is there's supposed to be 2 power cycles per revolution, ie. the first cycle set off by detonation and the second cycle set off by spark plug (or vice versa) before the fuel is released into the atmosphere, which supposingly will 1) reduce the unburn fuel and improve the exhaust gas while 2) providing more power, will it work or not? I wouldn't know. And does the Bourke Engine work? I don't know, that's why I asked if anyone had built one, I know there's "Bourke Engine Builders Club" somewhere, and I've seen CAD diagrams on the internet, so the only way to figure out if the concept work is to build one doing your own metal fabrication and connecting it to an ECU and dyno, but no one that I know have done it, so there's no answer to if it will work or not. If you have never built one, you're not qualified to say if it will work or not. and yes to shinybluesteel, that's why I said it's too late such inventions come out, because we are starting to phase out of IC engines, which is ridiculously low at 20-30% efficiency, and we will move to fuel cells, electric and air powered, but this will at least take 5-6 years and if we are sucessful, demand for petrol will drop, and so will the price, then maybe, just maybe one day the oil company will have to come back and look at a more efficient oil burning IC engine (at least 60% efficient), so as to save their dying oil market... But if the oil war is real, and the price raise is artificial, we may see the oil price stablise and drop back to < $1 a litre within 2-3 years, so we may not completely phase out of petrol burning IC engine, just to take the world on a ride! You never know! Only time will tell. [Report message to a moderator]
