to check out how our 'X' engine can enable more fuel efficiency and onboard weight savings compared to small turbines
#aviationgeek
Our engine has the potential to be up to two times more efficient than a gasoline engine, while also being incredibly power dense – about 10 times smaller and lighter than any other diesel engine out there. See what all the fuss is about at .

The "X" engine is simple, having only 2 moving parts – a rotor and a shaft. The low part count and reduced raw material could make the
#engine
significantly cheaper when volume production is reached.

Hey
@tommy_da_cat
, to answer your question - The 'X' engine is like a Wankel engine turned inside-out. With that inversion, the apex seals are now located in the housing, and they are stationary. They don't have the "chatter" that the traditional rotary suffered from.
With just two primary moving parts, our
#XEngine
is incredibly simple. Despite its simplicity, the design of our engine allows it to achieve three combustion events per rotor revolution, resulting in tremendous power density. Take a closer look at !

The design of our ‘X’ rotary engine allows for a longer period to burn all of the fuel at a nearly constant combustion chamber volume. Constant Volume combustion has been shown to improve efficiency by 50% over a Diesel engine.

Further, and more importantly - the stationary seals can be lubricated from within the housing. Tiny amounts of oil, can be metered directly to the seal surface. This should reduce wear significantly as the seal will be riding on an oil film, avoiding metal-metal contact.
Another day, another potential application for our engines!

2) Charging an EV with wind or solar would indeed have a lower CO2 footprint. But consider also the impact of making, recycling and eventually disposing of batteries.
@KeithDPatch
@MilitaryTimes
1) We agree (mostly). The article was comparing charging an EV with the current power grid in the US, which burns oil and gas for a significant portion of the power portfolio.
