Abigail, AENG's engine (the OX2) is extremely easy to produce and far less costly. One would expect this savings to be passed along to the consumer, but that's up to the manufacturer. The OX2 has only 3 moving parts and 6 major components. It's extremely energy efficient and can be adapted to run on any combustible liquid or gas fuel. Exhaust gases are fed back into the combustion chamber which allows for optimum compression regardless of fuel delivery, so no energy is wasted fighting engine vacuum. The average internal combustion engine's exhaust comes out at hundreds of degrees, its internal temp is over a thousand degrees.....the OX2's exhaust comes out at a little over room temperature.....it simply runs cool (think of the military applications, having to counter heat seeking devices).
A 350 inch V-8 engine weighs hundreds of pounds.....an OX2 weighing 83 pounds can provide the same torque and horsepower (the measure of an engine's ability to do work). The OX2 is nearly maintenance free and doesn't require oil and oil pressure. There are some bearing that require a small amount of oil, but it's insignificant. There's no crankshaft, distributor, sump, oil pump or water pump. The OX2 can be sized to power anything from a weed trimmer to a large aircraft and everything between (or beyond, since there are no real limits).
In my opinion, this engine will first gain its foothold in applications smaller than automobiles, like motorcycles, inboard and outboard watercraft, generators and yard care applications. That's just a guess, so who knows? I do know of companies who may very well get involved on the automobile side of things, but the biggies will likely take their time. They generally consider change at a very slow pace. They're likely to be the last to embrace this radical engine. Simply put, this engine is in a class all by itself. NOTHING known to the experts can turn chemical energy into mechanical work as effectively and efficiently as this engine can. The accomplishments of the OX2 are boggling the minds of the experts and its potential hasn't even begun to be realized. I wish I'd bought Microsoft in the first year it was trading, but I own AENG and its future looks extremely bright. I like the stock and the company, can you tell?
Best of Luck, Greg |
