Second Edition with minor modifications.

I read it in school I am pretty sure
I went to automotive school for 4 yrs.
and not once did they ever call it a heat engine
and I don't think they cared about terms like such and
cared more about the students knowing how it worked
at all.

So, how many engines did you build? Have you had them on
dynamometers? What are the results?

I built 2 from complete scratch.
Including a race engine that won 40 races at New England Drag.
I mostly just helped with many others


Since you've read Taylor multiple times, obviously you know changing
the gear ratio has nothing to do with the thermal efficiency of an
engine right?

Yes, and of course..
That is not what I am doing.
no gear ratio changing here.
No transmission at all.
It is not for a car, it is to directly turn a generator.
and ...it works simply because of more spin from one bang.
When you say stuff like the above it makes me think
you have still not even looked at the design on the site.

Wait I minute, I thought you've built dozens or hundreds of engines?
and read Taylor multiple times? Right? Why should others have to
build your engine if you've already built it?

I never said that I read Taylor at all til this post.
why are you now making up things I said?
I said I worked on cars for 23 yrs.
and fixed every problem possible.
and have rebuilt engines completely too.
and also built 2 from scratch


Money isn't an issue. Where there's a will there's a way.
Certainly you're smart enough to figure that our right? I mean,
someone who's built dozens of engines, and thoroughly studied Taylor,
ought to be able to befriend a shop and help out, and get access to a
shop to build an engine right?

I am in the process of doing such but If someone else wanted
to build it also I posted it.
Sheesh!

Engines are pretty efficient already.

No they are not.
a freaking powerful explosion that only turns a crankshaft 1/4 turn
(4 cyl) is far from effiecient.
Nevermind an 8 cyl (1/8 turn)
Wow.. you really do not want to think about it huh?
