Please read the artice on Carnot efficiency. Temperature not timing
affect the the thermal efficiency of a heat engine. Your statements
make no sense scientifically - and cannot work.

Heat engine?
what heat engine?
I am talking about an Internal Combustion Engine that
has a much longer stroke and has no crankshaft.

Is an Ice a "heat engine" ??

Yes.

Heat engine?
Why?


I never heard that before and it still doesn ot stop the
better design I have made..
Please see my website anyways and tell me what is wrong if
you can. (besides the wording for the prop being a prop)
:)

Don already pointed out the ineffiencies of using a fluid driving a
propeller rather than a direct drive. Note waterwheels are in
practice considerably less efficient than propellers. Why do you
think paddle wheels have essentially disappeared from commercial use?

First, it has no hardly any through space which is the biggest loss
factor, second, water wheels that used the correct amount of water
are not inefficiant at all.
20 lbs of water in a bucket falling and in turn getting 100's of lbs of
force
from such is hardly inefficient.
Why would you say such?


The assertion that you will get multiple turns from a single expansion
appears to be without any foundation. Feel free to back it up with
detailed derivations.

I can see you did not see the website?
The length of the stroke is the key.

Finally follow all the earlier advice and read up on thermodynamics
and it's applicability to heat engines. Especially since that is
what you are attempting to design.

The engine on the website is the same "heat loss" as a normal ICE
per bang except the fact that less heat is generated per revolution to begin
with.
Did you look at the engine at all?
If you looked you might see what I mean.

You havn't shown a design,

<snipped rest since you just proved you did not visit the site.>
Here .. again for all
http://realspaceman.spaces.live.com
think about it all and read small print carefully first please.
Then come back and tell me what is wrong.
and when you do..
I will fix it.. so don't be surprised if I come up with fixes
if you come up with problems.
That is what I have done for a living for 23 yrs.
fixing problems.
:)
