Ever hear of the MYT engine?

I just found this and it looks just so,...super sweet! It gave me goose bumps. This is super cool. The oil barons must be crapping in their shorts over this!

Imagine this engine,...in a Mini. Talk about a rocket ship. No JCW kit required. This is just plain ole Stage,...HOLY S**T!! in mega-doses. Imagine the torque steer.

Tiny? 150 lbs
Size? About as big as a 5 gal bucket. Weighs 150 lbs.
Powerfull? 2,000 hp Equivalent to four powerfull 8 cyl engines
Effeciency? Gas engine 30% Diesel 50% This engine, very darn close to 100%
Economical? 150 mpg (bio fuel)
Simple? Less than 25 moving parts
Oil changes? Not required. It uses the same fuel for lube (bio fuel)

MYT Engine (mity yet tiny)

I think they're still at the "running compressed air through it as a proof-of-concept" stage right now. Once they actually start burning fuel in it, I think there will be a lot of questions about durability, emissions and sealing that will need to be answered.

It looks promising, though.

The problem I have with these so called miracle engines, is that if they really worked, why aren't they in production now!

The fact that he needs to "sell" it the same way that they do the magic squeegees, I tend to look at them with a jaundiced eye...........

You'd think we'd already have a vendor here teasing us with a sneak-peek and delivery date promises. . . .. .

Interesting concept.

Here is a video of how it works:

Somewhat similar concept to a rotary engine:

It looks like it requires more moving parts than a rotary engine though.
