AI Thread Summary
Carven Motors presents a new engine design that claims to simplify traditional piston mechanisms by reducing the number of parts. There is skepticism about its operational efficiency and practical applications, with some engineers questioning the necessity of its rotating ball valve feature. The design may allow for smoother operation by facilitating movement at critical points. Overall, there is cautious optimism about its potential, but further testing and real-world applications are needed to validate its effectiveness. The discussion highlights the need for more engineering insights into the feasibility of this innovative engine design.

Hi, I am not sure if this new motor/device as shown in carvenmotors.com could work and I would like to know a engineer's piont of view

It seems to be a piston but with less parts... do you think it really works?

Have you seen any operative? in which aplication?

Thanks!

I don't see a reason why it wouldn't run - in some shape.

I'd say that rotating ball valve type affair is unnecessary though. Although I assume it's like that for the purpose of allowing it to pass the divider at 12 o'clock, and if so then it's necessary.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
