This concept or I should say a similar one has been used in the mighty engine...

I am at least familiar with it.

Very nice I still wonder about the Papp engine though that was a hell of a claim years ago...

Thanks for the nice post and so simplistic in your descriptions I enjoy your videos I recall some of the stan meyers vids I thought I recant you being the narrator explaining some of the things in those videos as well...

Thanks for sharing tommy.

Its not just an idea, The combustion chamber allow air and fuel mixture to enter the input port, with a special valve design allow the expand heat to feed in to the rotary housing as you seen on Youtube.
The rotary assy. converts the heat energy in to rotational motion and allowing all the heat to travel 350deg. In other words no waste coming out like a baisc engine when the valve release into the muffler exhaust.
The total area is greater then the combustion chamber witch will allow the heat to stay in until zero pressure is left over.
Like all engines, they need a muffler to quite down the energy being wasted from the exhaust port. This engine has no waste until it force the piston to the exhaust port witch in turn has to move the piston 350deg.
This energy at TDC is where the true power is converted, no other engine offers TDC total output from the expanding heat.
So any pressure that is mad from any combustion of fuel is converted in to direct rotational movement.
Unlike most gas engines where they need greater rpm's and torque to make hp.
This engine does the opposit, lower rpm's Higher torque and the greater efficiency.

This also means less fuel too.

on your wiki page http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Tommey_Reed_External_Combustion_Engine#Interviews
under Advantages, you did some math..."We must use a 0 deg to 90 deg stroke to get the average torque output for each rotor, like 900/90= 90 ftlb." Maybe you took a short cut, but 900/90=10, not 90.  will this make a difference?

Hi Tommey,

thanks for the great video.
the first link in the massage above does not works.

In the video on SmartScarecrow show you said that could be very expensive to build such an engine from which you have one prototype. You know such vane engines are very famous. But these engines have several vanes. Why don't you take a vane engine available commercially and disable the other vanes? Wouldn't this be easier?

I removed all of my videos from You Tube because, I decided to return to school and been accepted to Penn Froster College. I'm studying Mechanical Engineering Technology with a B average, I'm trying for a better grades, so it takes most of my free time now. I removed my videos so they won't interfere with my schooling, you know we have to act in a Engineering mind set.
