The 919 record will hold for a very long time. I'll have to watch the Lotus record, what car will beat it? Anything over 1400 kgs seems too heavy anyways. Cheers Chris 👍💪✌️

0:10 you must be behind the times.

I somehow don't think Noel Duke would appreciate your over-laying and inter-mingling his Z-axis engine rotary engine with the VERY different 'DEVIZE Barrel engine'. ... and I would know; Noel is a personal friend of mine. Barrel-type axial engine's have been re-cycled over, and over and they have NOTHING new to offer. All fail because using a cam plate to translate reciprocating loads over the long-term life of a typical automotive engine is a non-starter. From your accent you are obviously South African so why not look in your own backyard? The Van Loewy (my memory may be faulty on the exact spelling of the name) is a far more interesting axial engine from the 1980/90's. It used patented universal joint to articulate the piston-rod/wobble-plate connection such that it eliminated the figure-of-8 oscillation and resolved the motion to a pure straight-line motion. superior to any cam-type axial engine! How about it?

I'd love to hear the sound system in it to make up for the stealthy electric motors! 😂❤

Where’s the blower? Opposed piston engines are inherently two stroke engines with forced induction. This video does not mention it. I think it’s on the side of the barrel engine but is explicitly not mentioned.

No matter what anyone says, EVs are the future car that is now. China will force their competitors to invest in EVs. Range improves almost every month, and prices are definitely getting better. It's just history repeating itself when gas vehicles over took the horse and buggy.

250F, or 121C why not use slow injection of plastics at high temp? plenty of materials can flow as easily as resin at high temps Nylon would be a great material to flow into the CF fill mold, with excellent temperature characteristics.

Those were the days to be sure.

Unusual engines aren't generally liked, (remember the Wankel), while I know little about it, I fear it could have a high wear rate, poor fuel consumption, poor emissions, & be costly to service.🤔

Its quite nice.

The other customers were sacrificed in order to get to HIM.

If these cars were produced and homologated, then raced and won several races …yah they would be worth millions … Bad luck for Ford fans…

The electric fad is over. The V8 reigns supreme king regardless what the climate tards lie to you about.

That's a nice one, cheers 👍💪✌

Either poor combustion or large loss lubrication system.

If comes in RHD, excellent car. I would gladly take either of them. 👍

Your car sounds crisp

Overbaugh Motor Sports.😊 Hoyt ,Dave,& Terry. Was luck enough to be able to hang out an learn something from them.😊

what is pressure angle between these rotate component ？ they can brag whatever it might be, pressure angle will always expose the truth

Great!😁👍🛠️🔧

Sweet car!!😁👍🛠️🔧

looks like an a/c compressor...

Another stock market vaporware engine. If there's no cylinder head why did the animation clearly depict a cylinder head with spark plugs. I'm guessing it's supposed to use piston ports for gas flow in and out of the engine. That's probably why there is an external blower. These can create oil control issues. Based on the cloud of smoke coming from the exhaust, 'Houston we have a problem'. Junk.

They should just take a Subaru WRX and give it a Celica Coupe body

The engine is a Mosquito Fogger too!!🦟🦟☁️☁️ 😂😂

Cosmo, don’t care if it’s 13B or 20B. It’s unique. I’ve had 5 RX7s, an RX8 and 2 Millenia S. We want what we cannot have. I’m bummed.

At the end of the day, the first product of this engine will be heat like every other internal combustion engine. Rotational torque is a side effect. This is why internal combustion is dying.

So that new next step innovation has been under development for 31 years and it's still not in production. Then it will never be.

'...minimising friction as the forces...cancel out.'? No, it's not friction that's minimised, it's imbalance. You should have consulted an engineer...

I saw the car run

Woulda, coulda, shoulda....The Cheetah's attempt to Dethrone the Shelby Cobra in American Racing History failed. Never happened. Never was. The Cobra is still king,

It's not a new step in combustion technology it doesn't matter how you arrange the cylinders the same thermodynamic rules apply, it ain't new it ain't special and it don't comply with any emissions regs

I work in hydraulic engineering for 30 years and barrel like this is nothing new. All hydraulic axial piston pumps and motors work this way

I think Bristol , UK , made them in the fifties for buses.

And not single one is commercially viable

I think a 10 piston version with the swash plates mounted static and the PTO derived from the rotating mass might be something to consider because burning oil isn't advantageous.

I'm about to buy a shitbox golf and rip out the engine and build a custom frame, I really want to do this broooo

Looks like it smokes

There is an engine that was developed in the 1930s and was certified as an aircraft engine but was overtaken by WWII and never mass produced. It was picked up by Dynacam Company in the late 80s-90s and updated with new metallurgy and technology and was tested in aircraft and Buses and the literature I saw was quite positive. It is like the Barrel engine in profile but instead of the pistons connected to the crankshaft at each end and the combustion chamber in the middle, it was a double headed piston with the solid connecting rod riding a swash plate in the middle so the combustion chambers were at each end and the cylinder heads had rotating valves driven by the each end of the crankshaft. It was a 12 cylinder combustion ends with six double headed pistons sliding back and forth parallel to the crankshaft. The profile was small on the initial Aircraft engine with a weight about 150 lbs and diameter of about 18 inches including piping etc. It produced about 235 HP at 1800 RPM and could idle at about 100 RPM, with good fuel efficiency. They tried to mass market it but the bid engine producers tried to buy them out and when they refused they were essentially run out of business. I don't know what happened to the company product after that. The Big guys and the Venture Capitalists essentiall ruined them. Another victim of "The System".

bmw m1000rr makes 53hp per cylinder has canted valve vvt and variable valve lift 250cc per cylinder all and makes this power at 14500rpm using a chain no fancy and very expensive gear drive with quill gears. gma v12(from t50s) makes 58.4 with 300cc cylinders at a lower rpm without variable valve lift. the cool thing with the gma is the DI and how they are making that work.

Looks like it would be nearly impossible to keep the internal friction points properly oiled....

I love the Home Depot copper plumbing pipes and Greta will be thrilled with that clean exhaust.

Can it UUUUÄÄÄÄHH!! like a ported Wankel?

GREAT

The ICE is far too inefficient to compete with electric. Shell now converting 1000s of gas stations to charging stations. Even big oil knows the good future is electric.

Wikipedia has an interesting article 'Axial (Barrel) engine', very old. Besides the classical book by J K Setright 'Some unusual engines', the Douglas Self Site Technology Museum has lots of Info.

Love the smoke. Love 2 strokes. Love the reliability of 4 strokes Love the power, simplicity and low cost of electric motors though.

Still one of the best ever cars. Check you later 👍💪✌️

Coolest car if you can keep it on the road.❤❤❤❤
