So yea, I want to see if anyone has opinions for the next big thing in engine development.
I havent read anything good in a while. Last year i read about ceramic engines:
No coolant system needed
No oiling system needed
2-4 times the gas mileage
2-4 times the hp per liter
1,000,000 miles maintanence free
just to name a few. The old problem with these is speed bumps. Shake the engine to hard suddenly and it would break, because of ceramics brittleness. Whats keeping it down now? No oil, less gas, no maintanence.....what do you think?
The other thing I read about is the CSRV engines.
No cam
No rockers
No valves
No springs
No pushrods
No oil needed in the top end of the motor
Higher gas mileage
Three dozen other advangates
The latest thing i read about was the new head design from the guy in india. I beleive Ron Vogel posted a thread on this board about it. Very interesting.
So does anyone else have anything? None of the electric engine garbage either....
