- The automobile world is screaming for a compact, yet powerful engine, however, today, small gasoline engines are insufficient, and diesel engines are big and heavy. This is why a company called LiquidPiston has developed what looks to be the future of the combustion engine and mobility.
So, what kind of engine is this? And how does it work? Join us as we discuss how this small engine and what it means for the auto industry.

This thermodynamic process is well known since 1984 (or longer?) since my exam paper in the main subject of combustion engines. It ended with a running prototype with elongated decompression. The process was called: Sailiger process with elongated decompression. Paper in german, accessible to University members, or from me. New? I lough my ass off. But for sure a good idea. But nobody had a interest back then. They were stupid in those days. It was a desaster for me.
I wish this project comes to a good end. Maybe I live more some years, to see. Good luck.

Very good ...
It was no interest ... It was that theyn too less on bloodmoney ...
I developed since 1999 the empathy system which removes psychopaths from office, the placebo technic which uses the effect in meditation without bullshit dextrose pill because it's anyway yourself, 2018 the HHI injector system ... For adopting who run on any car where the distance between piston and Zylinder is sufficient.
The HHI environment system which eat , cool, dehumify, make Drinkwater from it and produce oxygen by that because ZlI use only 20-25% of the 33% origin mix to control the burning process and safety anyway.
2022 the Marin coanda drive which is based on similar bladeless fan Modul like "jetopteras" "flying car" ..
Contracted from the us airforce for drones, one point "three times the thrust if conventional propulsen systems" ... I say hydrodynamic adopted 5 times ... And so any monohulls with any size to run on photovoltaic and windgenerators.
Only with electric generator when no sun and no wind and too less bateriecaoacity.
Here comes such handy .. run with hho ...
The point by a cell which seperaten both gases is primary safety and the possiblity to run the cell under slightly overpressure to guaranty a constant supply to the system .. by engines are both gases compressed to 40 bar and in the burning chamber mixed ... By the origin mix of 66,periodic% hydrogen and 33,periodic% oxygen you have certain abilities like adopting the melting point if any material ... You can melt granite with it! And after Explosion follows a implosion ... Interesting by piston diesel engine with modified gear ... Because selfenlightend under pressure but much earlier then diesel ...
With seoerating by production U can very good control what happens in the burning or explosion process.
And what I get for that all bedude that "ckima", "CO2" blah while 200 spices DND 20 000 people rott each day is that what is to see on my channel.
The difference between me and dll the others is that I trained real martial skills in my youth very tough ... And the placebotechnic ...acupressure, ECT.
All that mess is made ... Never needed when faradei found HHI 200 years ago.
I created the empathy system 1999 to shut all that shit down ...
A hell is to make with proper filter to a heaven.
That time with Psychotest. Since 2016 test if the endocrin system and neurotransmitter why h display not only if empathy or psychopath but the whole bandwich if sensitiv, skills and abilities.
The strongest multiple Empaths with the highest cognitive skills on the highest most powerful positions in the state or world government ...
Empathy are 100% positive constructive motivation to solve shit because they suffer with the victimes.
Such with the highest cognitive skills is able to find for any shit the best solution.
And psychopaths under control.
Everybody can apply ... The scores count.
For everytesoirt are the necessary abilities, scores, ECT online to check ... Self study or courses ... That's it.
Security begins at first by choosing the person who take the most powerful positions ...
A average if 89% analoge Analytic thinking us easily fooled from jntrligrnt psychopaths ... To ve voted prove in the history of the drmicacy clear very dangerous so how Socrates DND Plato already worked out.
A dudnufic method is needed to seperate here the bad from the good and let the best of the best fo that job ...
These tests are fo far the by far best method ... Not to cheat, no pretending no lies ..
You can or you can not.
Point...
No 911, no wars, no PLANdemies with tests easily to fake Ruth numbers if zyvkes to fake waves ... End if all that shit ... And murdered real developers.
Basicly is the placebo technic for overcoming that poisrnings which astxnkey Meyer on his way didn't
By the way I don't claim the the Marin cosnda drive is dourcky found by me ...
Even more I study the whole thing I cannot believe that such was found for a damed fan ... Deffinitive not ... And ai would be not surprised when this great idea was found girl water in origin because by air is it far not so easy to build anything from Glasfiber DND epoxy resin ... It really present itselfe for Marin application ... Dooo redundant to build up with second pump which kicks in if the pressure sinks ...
I know natal the Moduls on vertical wings 369 degree to turn on a lift in sgmhadts to deploy and retract and do a child play to service in safety in roughest conditions ...
"Why ships kill the planet more then cars" ...
This drive ends this ...
Which alter the electrolyte which produce with the iron core the electric magnetic energy schield which protect that planet from cosmic and sun radiation.
The humans go on Snd giving further shit in the real developers ... Which get ignored or murdered ...
Happy barbeque time beside the sea life goes in ass.

This company has been saying "next year" for years. It's similar to how fusion energy has been just a few years away for decades. P.T. Barnhum would be proud.
The military is shoveling money into this "project". They keep saying invest and I never see a motor you can buy. I would invest in a motor, but.... I have seen this pattern before. The title of the video suggests auto application. If this were truly everything they say, the auto industry would be all over it. They have a lot of money and employees and little production. I am not a business tycoon and I don't have to be to tell you that snake oil is still being sold.
Вот именно, много лет я вижу как пиарят этот двигатель но результатов ноль.
Are you talking about Elon Musk?
The list of his broken promises are endless. 🤔

As turbine technolgies are changing so is the World around us. It takes a visionary; do you remember Superman ??? Lighter smaller faster that's were thing's are going. Lease the Top Rooms for an Undisclosed amount of accomidations. Ladies not Included, food on the Fly, think about it a 24hr Chef... I tried to tell them to tare weight the can. Then weigh the contents seperately... That's were your proffits are going. Some Fat Fucking Executives would like to tell you the opposite. That's one thing I could say about Natalie & Michelle. If I needed anything a drill bit, yeah we had one of those on the line !!!
This is the most promising system of combustion system. No valves = no energy loss, the sealing between the piston and the 'cylinder' seems to be solved aswell. Amazing!
Three things you can look at forever: How fire burns. How water flows. And how this engine will be put into production "next year."
It probably uses amsoil interceptor 2 stroke oil!
BS

20 years and there are no production engines in operation millions of lawn mowers could use a compact 25 horses so could snow mobiles ,ultralight airplanes and boats
Ultralight planes, perhaps. The rest is heading towards electrification.
I want one for a generator for a sailboat. Use it to help power an electric engine. Weight matters on sailboats. And having a light weight, fire protecting, diesel generator would be amazing.
There are 2kw diesel generators already available weighing less than 20kg.
The horn blow's how about the driver... 🤔
Love to see it as an APU and Range Extender.
I literally just had that idea two weeks ago and got shellshocked by the price tag for one
So what is the price tag???
Like Nissan's e-power technology. MBT fully electric driven is possible .
@@StevenSiew2 go look it up, its on there website. These people want 30,000.00 dollars just for a lab test model!
What about seals and rotor ware
Looks cool, seems viable conceptually. However the same thing could be said for every other revolutionary ICE we've heard about in the past.
They give some clues here it seems about what their issues could be. They highlight the power to weight ratio, but unless i missed it they didnt talk about efficiency or emissions (which was where the wankel has issues).
In stationary power generators, it's running at one power and rpm setting, so you could guess it has issues when operating outside that one sweet spot band, as would be the case in a car or a motorcycle, with constantly changing rpms and power output.
Same with being used as a drone engine, one power setting, and in that case the engine may be destroyed after an hour of use, so reliability and durability aren't needed.
A small light high power disposable engine could have some narrow applications, but not the ones we usually think about, ie motor vehicles.
It does not have apex seals in the rotor like the Wankel engine, but rather the seals are static in the rotor casing, but are still necessary, although being in the casing would make it easier to inject small amounts of lubrication directly into the apex seal.
The real useful life cycle between maintenance is 1000 hours in the most optimistic cases, which practically rules it out for mass commercial use. The United States Army has shown a lot of interest. They are ideal motors for electricity generators. compact, light and very manageable, as well as perfect for UAVs and unmanned vehicles or surveillance or espionage drones. Just as with airplane or helicopter engines and tanks, there would always be a new (or rebuilt new) unit waiting to replace one that is going for maintenance.
They have been touting this engine for years. Liquid Piston will be the oldest engine manufacturer before they even start manufacturing engines for public use. What’s the delay?
This appears to be a very exciting development 👌👌👌
Excellent video sir. Good. God bless the inventor.
Sounds good.
Ideal for hybrid cars. Use these to charge the batteries.
All you need is a floyed sweet device taping ZPE and some axial flux engine and make way more power/torque than any ICE!
I have yet to see any sales by liquid piston except to the US military. I can't understand it. It looks like a good engine for everything from edge trimmers to light aircraft.
Actually if you were to think about using water to trim weeds think about the Plastic we would keep out of the environment... Those Mermaid tears are no more...🤔
Man I LOVE this concept but WHY is this concept taking Sooooo Long to get off the ground???? ... Is the Torque too low? .....what's the problem. Why is there only one small golf cart engine???
I love that engine, the best ice engine ever, it needs to be developed .
Been milking this for years. I put it in the water motor and turbine bin. Regardless of the obvious friction problems there are more viable engines closer to production.
With the apex seals on the housing, they should make them externally accessible so they can swapped out without taking apart the engine. If you can change the seals like you change spark plugs, this engine would have a chance.
The tip seals are swappable in situ... a great advantage plus they are control force fed lubricant so no need to add excess to the fuel mix making it
a cleaner more economical burn.
They can even insert shells into the combustion chambers to alter the compression ratios.
Its best to go into their own research papers and written accounts. Though ive still seen one describing it as a two stroke cycle when its an extended four stroke cycle.
The seals are actually made from Mazda supplied ones.
@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 I understand they are swappable, but are you saying that you can access them without taking apart the engine? Cuz that's what I'm referring too. These are basically a consumable part at the end of the day but the labor costs to change them out are deterring people from rebuilds....with this alternative design, people would treat engines as family members lol....they probably wouldnt do this. Imagine if your typical ford made an engine that you could replace piston rings "in-place"....A. the engines could literally last millions of miles and B. they wouldn't need to sell you the engine, they would just sell you the shell....*"they"* wouldn't do this because then they couldn't control your carbon and they can't make money off of that business model.
@@adrian_sanchez
Yes adrian they are removable without dismantling the motor ..the seals are held in a cartridge type mount and slide in .. the are held in with a single Alan or torex bolt fixing, from memory. Its best to read some of the more technical papers available on the net.
The biggest diesel version is about a 40…50hp output motor the military unit they are batch producing is a Diesel but only the size of a Melon as shown, still hand held.
These motors tend to run at relatively higher rpm but a simple robust reduction gear ⚙️⚙️ as per electric motors allows you to match the motor to the output required.
@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 wow. Finally. Then I wish this engine the best and maybe one day the average consumer will be using them. At the very least, to power electric motors in hybrid setups!
@@adrian_sanchez what are you talking about? almost any car engine you can replace pistons/rings in the car. pain in the neck gotta take off the head and oil pan but still doable.
What sort of compression seals? Nothing has yet surpassed the good old circular piston ring ✔️
car engines are really great now with 60 mpg this is a solution looking foy a problem that doesn't exy in my opinion.😊
You might have a point if it was just for heavy cars or trucks, although shaving a couple of hundred pounds always helps. I see this being big in the very light and light propeller plane industry, motorcycles, heavy drones, light cars (econo or sports) and other industries where weight is more sensitive. The video is a bit misleading in that they showed jets and heavy vehicles. Saving a few hundred pounds on a main battle tank doesn't mean that much.
I don't think its more efficient, just lighter
goodenough
Light weight, powerful and simple. It doesn't even need intake/exhaust valve. It should be everywhere.
So why isn't it everywhere?
Without any study, I would suspect the emission from this engine has a hard time meeting environmental standards.
It's got to be more efficient because it's not reciprocating It's rotatating
@@lpjunction still too light in the torque department
I can see the light sports plane (propellor) and motorcycle industry jumping all over this new engine. I wonder if you can stack them inline for scalability.
Nice design but still working on Carnot cycle so theoretical thermal efficiency is still only 32%.
Go Go Go ! I always loved the Wankel. I love electric motors but fuel cost is the deciding factor, not emissions (greenhouse fallacy, $22k Tesla battery bank). Now somebody took the design and made it better. I'm still wondering about the side of the rotary piston sealing efficiently.
Let's see it in the marketplace and how it works in general use. When will it be available and in what forms?
Too good to be true in Autos/trucks any time soon.
Would love to see this in motorcycles. The light weight, and horsepower & torque specs seems intuitive for motorcycles.
The HP and torque specs are pitiful. This would make an absolute crap motorcycle engine
indeed, i think a 600cc version would put out decent power
And oil injected too!
sounds good
Ill have my engine done before them. Might as well scrap that one and all other configurations. Let see, with a 16" by 16" cylinder this technology achives 12-800cc combustions per rotation. Thats right, believe it or not, it produces 9600cc of combustion in a rotation at more the 85% efficiency. Oscillation free, no poston, no valves, a purely rotational combustion turbin converting anything flammable liquid or gas to kinetic or eletric energy. That redefines game change. Will take a second before this technology gets to consumers, im not much into being silenced, not good for well being. The problem has finally been realized. "ForReaL" 2024 will go down in history.
I'm both a small shareholder and sceptical...
If you want to invest in an engine, you should see this new technology. Everything about this engine sounds like fiction, but it not and it's so simple. Numbers dont lie and physics prove it. If a combustion in a chamber creates an outwards force and there's a movable object blocking its expansion and like a bullet in a gun, if the combustion forces the bullet through the barrel, my technology works. If the bullet stay in the barrel after gasses are violently expanded in the camber behind the bullet, well that would be a need trick. The main reason for disbelieve is that a 16" by 16" toroidal cylinder is capable of 12-800cc combustion per rotation. With no pistons, valves, crank shaft, or other mass energy losses efficiencies pass 85%. So one 800cc detonation unheard of compression ratios. The lowest ratios I was able to accomplish were upper 20s to 1 with proper configurations, 50:1 and up are more realistic. I've had problems finding proper variables to create equations on output. Best I found contain the inefficiency associated with piston engine technology. Those numbers are best left to testing, sometime soon. Should have a marketable device May of this year. All designs are complete, waiting on CAD files to begin manufacturing.

looks like this would go well in combination with cold plasma ignition
Perfect for farmers
Video could show the actual motor running with original sound from the motor. Otherwise this is only commercial, nothing real. Also I would like to see 4 of these connected together to make 4x power.
It will have the same issues as the Winkel, rapid seal wear between the wall and the rotary, affecting longevity.
The Wankel engine has left a pretty bad taste in consumers mouths…
Those old enough to remember ! @@raymondlantz9278
I need it for my drone.
2;47 says it all about this video. 10x more power stated that 1000% is Bull shit. As a design has upsides light/powerful etc. Down sides Poor emissions/short service life etc.
THX TO WARPED FOR THE IMAGE
If you want to have a rotor within a rotor opposing differential engine the main thing that needs to work is the triangular inside one connected to the shaft gear system that is free to move with a shell around it that moves within a triangular shell around it that it stationary. Then you use a differential to translate the backward motion into forward motion. And use it to generate electricity by making it electromagnetic and then wrapping it in magnets that are very very very very very very very very cold.
Yes make this a homopolar magnetic 2 stroke that taps ZPE aetheric energy! Watch the lost century and how to reclaim it movie with Steven Greer!
Ball lightning can power any 2 stroke
@@jlo13800 there's a way to get electromagnetic differentiation without gas as well as gas but the systems are a little different between each differential. Differential magnetic gears are used to generate more current and electromagnetic power. You need a stationary plate between each moving part and the poles have to be aligned correctly between the stationary conductive plate. For a gas differential well there would no point in having one unless your changing the backward motion directly into forward motion when moving forward. Or you could use it to generate power as you move the gas motor. For gas you don't want the magnet near the combustion but would have to add some distance between the point of combustion and the electromagnet. Unless you were able to put the magnet near the combustion without being effected which would require a cooling system and a strong vacuum insulator chamber.
Yes by tapping aetheric ZPE, the most energy density stuff known
@@jlo13800 you get more force for the space your using
high energy density equals high heat output.....these engines tend to melt and self-destruct because their design concentrates very high heat production and thermal stresses into small areas....venting the heat away efficiently while preventing thermal breakdown seems to be the limiting factor
How about you place the engine underwater to cool it down while running?
Absolutely. I noted mention of water injection and harnessing of the resultant steam vapour pressure. Nothing said either about probable high levels of exhaust sound due to very rapid expansion rates. As loud as a conventional 2-stroke engine ? !! And 7,000 rpm is not especially high for low displacement.
Should not be able to keep a patent of a product if it isn't manufactured within a certain time , 2004 and still not into production ,
This isnt really a rotary engine, as the crankcase is static. But neat to see none the less.
İt will be next gen generator of US Army. Also it will be used in compact UAVs. DARPA is sponsor
It would be coal if they made a twin liquid piston engine from 50 to 100 HP for use as plug-in hybrid range extenders and motorbike engines.
This engine “may” become a practical power unit in the future but just like “new” electric car batteries that we are constantly told will revolutionise electric cars until they are actually proven they are just work in progress.
Remember in the 1950’s we were going to have electricity generation that was so cheap that households would not be metered in its use and we would be driving nuclear powered cars, that never came about of course but the media of the day promoted it endlessly at the time.
Let’s not forget the jet engined car and trains that were another 1950’s media fad.
27hp enough to charge batteries tho
To good to be true??? Fuel efficient??? Durable??
I would an engine like this on Motorcycle of course it would be eqipped whith a CPU, an Oxygen censors etc. to lower emissions... The Grand Room or the Combustion chamber. That's were the info goes back to the Computer, now think about it... 🤔
This is not new. The big problem with this type of engine is wear and maintenance. The vanes that create the compression seals wear out after a few thousand miles and an engine rebuild is required to replace them. Imagine every couple of weeks your car is laid up for 2-3 days having the engine rebuilt costing you $1000s... Meanwhile ICE are getting over 100mpg now. The volvo A40 dies 100mpg.so we are not talking super mini minis but full size family cars.. 😂
My flash driving invention running in light speed way can power the car 110v ac x2 or 220v ac x2 , as big as a luggage only and perpetual motion running.
A gapping zone way to rotating and no fuel no batteries and no solar .
My way if on the market , all moving vehicles and appliances will be all just running.
Where are the positive and negative terminals?
I'd be interested if i can breath in the exhaust gases without dying.
おにぎりと繭玉が逆になったんやな。
When something 'SHOCKS' in the YT title it's guaranteed BS.
Excessive quench surface= big catalytic converters and poor economy.
Has to be direct injection to stand a chance.
Low torque output per weight, poor emissions, low service life, not easily mass produced. Aside from small niche applications it’s going to be a game changer
I thought the guy alluded to higher torque output per weight. And why couldn't it be easily mass produced ? Exotic alloys due to the very high operating temperatures ?
Mazda and the ussr did it better. So I have to agree. I’m already looking at all the failure points, such as the apex seals and coolant seals. I don’t see side seals, so it probably doesn’t have that great of compression. The intake and exhaust chamber holes will tear up the housing seals (apex seals)
The narrator has no clue as to what he is saying; How can he say the Wankel rotary engine has a moving housing. By the way , this engine is nothing new at all , it has been tried in the past by research department of Auto group like Isuzu , Renault and others. The Geometry is very awkward and has no major advantage over the Wankel. The possibility that one might be able to design an engine where the seal could be changed without disassembling the engine is the only thing that could be an advantage, even though an engine with such advantage has not been tested ,it only exists in patents.

These guys are in overdrive with the PR on this proven flawed engine
The major problem Wankel had was the seals in the engine would wear out very fast. So does this engine have seal problems?
Rather than a point, it has a larger surface area. This spreads the wear area, reducing pressure, friction, and inturn, the wear rate.
Quite possibly, but I like the contact surface curvature. Not sure about the potential longevity of the mainshaft needle roller bearings though.
@@roxximusik8958
Even the Wankel engine improved its wear issue with a roler bearing. It did not eliminate the problem, but greatly mitigated it.
The fact that it has many bearings significantly reduces the pressure and wear rates. Also, (and I could be wrong) I suspect it undergoes less heat and pressure stresses, important for the lubrication.
What about the side seals. I don’t see any, and because it doesn’t have any I don’t imagine that this engine would make great compression. It’s neat but I can see many similar failure points to its big brother wankel
Sadly.... we are never going to see it.
I'm calling bullshit, I will believe it when I see it in production vehicles, till then it's just a grift!
all those tax dollars and all they got to show for it is a gokart. i hate it here
The industry was needing a kick to get off it's comfort plateau...🤣 all of a sudden it came from electric cars development...
The kind of presentation that I hate, talking about everything except the subject and back and forth. Everybody understands the interest of small engines. Now what about friction and wear ? This is the key problem of rotary engine, with poor fuel efficiency.
Very well stated...I felt the same way, Very frustrating
This is all promotional bullshit! But none of it actually seems realistic, in the real world...Firstly, how are you going to lubricate this motor, without introducing oil into the combustion chamber? Impossible, it's going to burn oil, like every other rotary out there, as it requires injecting some sort of anti friction medium in the chamber, to prevent housing and rotor, metal on metal contact, which of course, will inevitably, burn and produce carbon deposits, failing emission regulations...Secondly, I've noticed combustion type seals on the fixed housing, rather than the rotating assembly, how do we know that this will seal better than traditional apex seal system on the spinning Rotor, how is that system superior to wear and tear? Nothing is mentioned about this important fundamental, also where are the additional side seals for this new engine design? the engine still has to prevent lateral combustion leaching. Thirdly, adding boast to any rotary style engine, makes it harder on fuel consumption and efficiency, nothing make sense here. This is a redesign of an already problematic principle... I have faith in modern technology, but unless I am missing something here, I can't see this being a fuel efficient, long lasting, clean burning engine.

Hydrogen powered turbine is the way to go.
This is a great engine concept/configuration yet its been 20 years .. the son is a creatin and is unable to bring this to the market place .. they got desperate and did a deal with the devil/DOD that despite its potential has kept it to itself .. in that same 20 years Musk has developed (and financed) a fleet of electric cars to fundementally change the auto market, but its still 2004 for these guys. A sad ending to what could have been a brilliant piece of engineering
Same drawbacks as Wankel solution
This little POS is not only inefficient but will have a very short life span because it has to run such a high rpm. The only thing this engine is good for are throw-a-way small military generators. Won't even be able to power the large ones. These engines have very little torque and low horsepower. This company seems to be making a big push for investment, but that will be a waste of money
no pollution regs either . lotts of money
I wonder if it is possible to put it into an in-hub wheel assembly. This car could use that ... th-cam.com/video/q2LQNT2vv1Y/w-d-xo.html
Yep.. have two or 4 units close to 5he the wheels
Great thought for low speed, but maybe not higher speed vehicles.
The constant shock from bumps and potholes could be a big problem for its bearing and tolerances. Electric motors and gearings have to be beefed up to handle the more demanding role.
Another disadvantage is the increased weight of the hub, it's inertia is increased, making road contact (and thus, traction) more challenging.
For low speed applications, powered hub is great. But at speed, powered hubs disadvantages start to overwhelm advantages.
Putting ICE in a powered hub has additional complications like addressing cooling (especially liquid cooling) and routing fuel lines to each hub (possibly exposing to damage and leakage. The flip side is how to add a robust and adequate exhaust system with catalytic converter within a hub that can hold up under a lot of long moment g-loads.
I think if it works maybe come out 2035 😀😀😀👍 right electric car battery have small motor now ok not next 15 years 😀😀😀👍
Will we ever see this in a car? No
No one SHOCKS anyone. Especially not with capital letters. I hate these click bait titles😡
Rotary engines are not good. Too many sealing and lubrication issues cut their life short.
Another "shocking" video that didn't shock any automotive industry once again. 😂
If there give is do good they need to stop playing around and put it to good use
Rotary engines problems are well known. This "new" engine doesn't solve any of them.
This not the future.
no pollution regs when at war longevity a little further than throwing a handgranade
Nothing new about this design ,its been around for decades .
Pls do many testing before doing unrealistic claims or sale talks.😮
