that range rpm for ice angines is a liquid piston with any stroke length
it wants,,even 44 inch stroke.
Gas and 150 psi intake air O2 boost .
OK, 1.1176 m stroke, 1.03 megaPascal.
A tall 48 inch x 4 inch cylnder with a flap over the end that emptys
into the tank.
I'm assuming 4" (10.16cm) ID here.
How big is this tank?
Fire the cylinder pushes the water out thenthe presure in the tank
pushes that flap shut .
The water compresses the air to the top of the tank as a air-spring as
water drives the 24 inch rotor .
Rotor? Is this inside the tank, outside, where?
1 cylinder fires a 1 second stroke then the next in 4 cylinders .
water inlet is a side flap the other way.
OK, so you have a distributor and multiple cylinders feeding into the
tank. Or is this tank the sea or lake in which the unit floats?
gax air o2 is not the 150 pound detnation you get out of the car ,,its
rocket fuel 2800 psi Pmax.
OK, 19.3 megaPascal.
lpe7 ship engine is 48 x 6 inch rotor.
it is 5 % the fuel .
Eh?
I'm assuming "5% of the fuel consumption of a standard reciprocating
piston internal combustion engine".
ssrv for cars is simple as ***..
1/10th a 1930 steam car doble boiler and a 24 inch sliding vane rotor.
its 10 % the fuel 13 times the tourk.
and unlike a piston engine you cant fuckit up or waer it out.
the spring on a sliding vane is used 8 % as many times then in the
heads of v8.
the steam is re-used .
Wait...you said this was a liquid piston affair? How does steam fit
into this, then?
the lube that allso steam tites the vanes
sepeates at the condencer and is re-used.
makeup water is 10 gal in 5000 miles.
there is no steam boiler tank.
its coil boiler like a big coffee pot.
the rotor is the only main moving part other then the cam wheel inside
it.
The lube just does a circle in thee rotor pan.
the rotor pan is the return steam trap for the condencer .
if you dropped 2800 foot pounds tourk between the road and your back
wheel you'd blow boath doors off a funny car.
Let's see what I can dig up here.
A BMW M6 has 383 lp-ft @ 6100 RPM, so you've got
quite a monster there. (500 hp @ 7750 RPM, 4398 lbs
unladen, 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, top speed 155 mph (limited
electronically), 4999 cm^3 or 4.999 liter displacement.
No mention regarding gas economy on BMW's website:
http://www.bmwusa.com/vehicles/M/m6convertible/techdata.htm
though another website suggests 19.0 mpg, 357 g/km CO2.
http://www.seriouswheels.com/cars/top-2006-BMW-M6.htm
Spiffy little beastie, but at $104,900 a bit too pricey for me,
and I doubt Al Gore will go for it either. :-)
The Porsche 911 turbo suggests 480 hp using 3.6 liters (220 in^3)
(and $122,900 MSRP).
A NASCAR engine generates 750 hp using 385 cubic inches,
without superchargers or turbochargers. Not clear what
the torque is. Top speeds are over 200 mph.
Indy stipulates a Honda 3.5 liter (213.6 in^3) V8 affair,
though that is probably specific to Honda. This engine
generates 650 hp.
Champ car racers can generate 725-800 hp with a 162 in^3 V8 engine,
using methanol fuel. This appears to be the same as "Indy", and
is a reflection of the popularity of Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
A funny car is a car class of the National Hot Rod Association.
The engines must be V8s, two valves per, maximum displacement
500 in^3, single camshaft, 8000 hp but they don't use gasoline. :-)
7000 ft-lbs torque, too.
You do race, right?
Thats 4 inch of vane out.
4 inch of vane out is 1100 hp between the wheel and road.. a 2000 hp v8
dont put 1000 hp at the back wheels.
a 350 v8 dont put 140 hp between the wheel/road.
thats 2 inch vane out 650 psi 1200 cubic inch second and is 10 % the
V8.10 % v8 fuel.
v8 is at 13000 cubic inch second power stroke.
no crank rods pistons valves no transmision $ 10,000 off the pice of a
car .
13 times the power and 10 % the fuel.
that 10 % the fuel is the end of the oil age.
