Really he says he read Taylor - but obviously doesn't understand it

crank a quarter turn has NOTHING to do with efficiecy. Put a gear
train on that crankshaft and you can turn a wheel as many times as you
like. That Driscoll cannot see that gear ratios have nothing at all
to do with thermal efficiency is obvious. Not so obvious is how to
teach him the realities of engines.

I never said anything about viloating thermal efficency
you abstracted that yourself somehow.
If you don't want to look,
that is fine,
It is a better 2 cyl than current house type electric
generators
and easily could also be used to charge electric
cars that people own.
It is like that electric track but with the
freedom of the car still.
I am just thinking it would help create more
electricity, not drive a car with it.

And no gearing necesary at all is less parts
to worry about and longer life of the
total package.


Even a crap school would impart some information. A free piston
engine is so simple to build, I gotta believe that if he's done all he
claims, he could build one from an old lanwmower or chain saw or
something - and hook up a junk turbo charger modified in a machine
shop in his spare time.

You are not even close to thinking how the engine on the site works
when you describe making what you just said.
:)


Lets say he's a good mechanic, but lacks the theory and math skills.
He should still be able to build a freaking free piston engine and
hook a fan up to it using junk parts - and play around with it until
he sees all the fan is doing is acting like a gear train - he hasn't
done even that. He hasn't done it because he's not even a mechanic -
that's the simplest answer.

again,
it is not a fan, and not really a prop,
bad wording on my part.. I said that already
hounding about it is just plain stupid now.


Interesting that he says he's read Taylor - well lets go over it then
Driscoll. Set out the equations that compute the efficiency of your
engine - based on the worked examples in Taylor. Lets see it - then
compute the efficiency for me. HINT - it has nothing to do with how
many times the fan turns per free piston cycle.

Why don't you,
I suck at math
be sure to make sure you include a very low blowby
of the fluid wheel.
pretty much 1 foot of liquid will turn that wheel
1 rev and 20 ft of liquid will turn it 20 turns
It frees the gearing (friction and all) and diverts
almost all the power directly to turn
the generator .... (again.. not for a car because it would not
be that good of course.)
Or would it.. I have not thought about the force it
could push with because I do not know the
math for the explosion forces.
anyways.
Be a man and look at it, and tell what is wrong with it
without saying a prop or fan problem.
because it does not have a prop or fan ..
it was worded wrong and I will replace it.
the "prop" though is actually more a water wheel
and there is a 3D version on the site..
I would like to know if there are "any physical" problems
with the engine.
