nice try, but how you garantee the wear of the cylinder wall does 200.000 miles?

you wasted your time.
by the way, if you did your research right you would have found out that the spark plugs is soon to be replaced.

It would be cool to see it succeed in practice. Others already posted, and I agree sealing all those interfaces and oil contamination could be a problem, but it could also be on a standard piston and that was largely resolved with piston ring technology and materials. It would be cool to see a working prototype. Good luck! Very innovative …

Very powerful, but had sealing problems. Plus, in hi-perf engines which run rich, soot buildup and resultant abrasion of the seals were the main problems. But, if these can be overcome that would be great! :) I was going on the …

But 3 atmospheres is not much, at sea level its about 14PSI so 42PSI of compression??? most piston engines are 120-190PSI. So it will not be efficient combustion. Rotaries have the same trouble.. low thermal effieciency, but very high volumetric efficiency... I like the idea of this engine, but it seems to has all the negatives of a rotary, and has more moving parts too. I could be wrong.. I would like to see it run. Looks interesting.. …
