http://www.scuderigroup.com/ is the link to this new engine design.
Sounds like they don't have a working prototype yet, so how do they
project costs? Scott

Interesting idea.
Also interesting that they talk about air storage tanks and turbocharging to
boost efficiency.
Sounds like a lot of extra parts to wear out.

Surprise,I had one of these in high school. It was a 1956 Allstate 250cc
motorcycle. It had two cylinders but only one combustion chamber. It was
called a twingle, it was a two stroke with a oil pump for direct oil
injection. It was a 2 stroke motor that sounded like a 4 cycle. Really a
nice motorcycle, wish I had it back.
Seriously, the computer simulation are describing two different motors. One
has the split chamber, like the one of above.
And the other looks to be supposedly to be a 4 cylinder that is only running
on two cylinders with other two storing energy as
pneumatic potential. That it would switch to, to save fuel
like a hybrid without the electric motors. Well we all know how
long air tools run on a 60 gal. tank. Not long enough to power a automobile
for any amount of distance. The holding tank would have to huge.
The entire website is long on patting itself on the back and very short on
details.But it looks really cool, invest your money NOW.
Kinda reminds me of the future of cable TV with KNOX communications.

Also after looking at the website, you would think,they would have one
working model before asking for mucho bucks from the investors. Remeber
when you had to have a working model before appling for a patent. Or Do they
have to buy suitcases or something before you can invest in this company.

Strange the bike looked bigger when I was in high school.

Nice looking bike - I'd be tempted to change to disc brakes if I owned
one.

(FYI, I didn't click on "Investment Information.")
