Power Engine will dramatically improve fuel economy.
Why?
The answer involves engine cycle event timing and compression ratio effectiveness.
Most of the fuel and air mixture in a typical auto engine combustion cycle is timed to burn near 20 degrees after Top Dead Center. This allows the crankshaft to be in a position to have rotational leverage to convert the combustion into torque (work).
The efficiency of the combustion cycle is controlled largely by a major mechanical function, compression ratio. A higher compression ration (compression pressure) makes combustion more efficient. In other words, increasing compression increases how much energy stored in the fuel gets to be converted to work (compared to heat), i.e., more energy converts to useful work and less becomes wasted heat.
Today's modern auto engines have about a 10:1 CR at TDC. Unfortunately, the way the connecting rod works, when the crank is at 20 degrees, the compression ratio is lowered to only about 50% (5:1). The cycle at 20 degrees burns about 90% of the mixture, but at only very low thermal efficiency.
Power Engine's 10:1 compression ratio is 100% at 20 degrees. The way the Power Engine piston pushes on the crank allows 100% of the charge to burn at 10:1, at very high thermal efficiency.
The Power Engine cycle difference provides dramatic improvement in fuel economy.
Another reason
Power Engine's mechanical friction loss is much lower as well because Power Engine reciprocating mass is less by over 60% (the moving parts in a Power Engine are lighter).
In Addition: Power Engine has advantages in all four parts of the internal combustion engine cycle:
air and fuel intake velocity is improved by over 20%
compression cycle efficiency is improved by over 30%
combustion swirl is improved by over 20%
exhaust discharge velocity is improved by over 40%
What do all these improvements mean?
"three times current mpg with no performance loss"
