    Building a rotary piston engine

    This project is a basic 6 inch rotary piston engine. The rotary engine project is to build a external combustion chamber that will redirect the expanding heat into a rotor housing and turn a rotor with a single piston vane 340 degrees to the exhaust port. The basic piston,rod and crank...

    Understanding Horsepower in Big Trucks

    We'll maybe I jumped the gun...I get a lot of heat on my projects and looking for more efficient engines...I'm sorry if I called you out...maybe I need a break. Working on all the calculation for a gaslline version of the Rotary Piston Engine can get to anyone, I'm studying a great book on...

    Understanding Horsepower in Big Trucks

    xxChrisxx, I have this rant with you, calling me a scammer... Who the hell do you think you are? I find that most Engineers milk people for more money then ever before. The Chevy Volt is just one of a true scams, and thosands more out there. Just shows how you guys will say anything...

    Understanding Horsepower in Big Trucks

    "Just wanted to check that I can plug in 700 X 746 = 522 kW for the big truck's engine and this would be an accurate answer. Any problems here?" 700hp will produce about 350kw, not 522kw!

    Understanding Horsepower in Big Trucks

    XXChrisxx, So your saying that 5 mechanical horse power will produce 3.7 kw? 745.7*5=3728.5 watts.. Please explain yourself, and why you think you can create this electrical energy without a loss. You will have a mechanical loss, due to friction, heat loss and constant load on the...

    Understanding Horsepower in Big Trucks

    Not so fast, Its true that 745.7 watts= 1 electrical hp, but when taking mechanical work and converting into electrical output you have a waste. Most engines need to run at a 3600 rpm's (60hz) for a single phase generator, this is also the wasted energy to keep the rpm's at a constant. A...
