Pendular engine by the Argentine Eduardo Taurozzi. Reduces costs, fuel consume, exhausts emissions, lateral effect and its smaller. Also doesn`t need oil lubricant bescause pistons doesn`t produce friccion.(sorry about my english).
still needs lubrication on the crank shaft and the pendulum shaft. and still friction on the rings also, the pendulum will cause au lot of vibrations, and if one day it needs a rebuild… then good luck to machine the cylinders !
so … sitck to the conventional engine ;)
That wouldn’t have any torque wouldn’t it?
denunciado lince!
Less power?
If there’s no friction in the cylinders, then there is no compression
Thats all nice ‘n stuff, but can you turbocharge it?
I wonder if theres something going to happen to the pistons and cylinders on a longterm view, because they’re curved.
Needs to be some figures to go with those claims, otherwise it just appears to be a bent V twin with a strange plate above the piston. It WILL need oil, and to be made of a metal that doesn’t change size much with an increase in heat, otherwise I can see the pistons smashing into that plate bit.
The mechanical stress from the constant changes of direction in the crankshaft will be quite high compared to a one directional rotation of a conventional crankshaft. Also how is power supposed to be transferred if the crank has a net rotation of 0 per cycle.

The only thing that has no friction is the stig
