Sword, Lonnie, Shashyazhi, and all,
I apologize for not responding sooner. Things have been hectic........but that's a personal problem.
I understand the skepticism on this BB. Who wouldn't be skeptical? The engineers who attend the demos are skeptical, too, but it eventually turns to amazement. All I ask, is that you reserve judgement (and most everyone on this BB is doing a tremendous job of this, so far) until after July 4th, less than 2 months away. There's nothing particularly important about the date, but this should be sufficient time for AENG to prove itself.
Advanced Engine Technology holds no patents. Remember, AENG has the rights to the OX2 engine for the NAFTA countries. That is all, but that's ENORMOUS! The patents are owned by the OX2 Corp, a private corporation, which owns the worldwide rights to the OX2 engine. These rights were transferred to AENG for the NAFTA countries. Also, AENG is in no way related to the company Lonnie asked about in Canada. AENG is a Colorado corporation.
This paragraph should be of great interest to all and may eventually put many minds at ease. Of course, this assumes stellar results, which I expect...........The visit to the University of Wisconsin at Madison is much more involved than originally reported. AENG is not only going to have its gauges checked, but the Engine Research Center at the University of Wisconsin will thoroughly test the engine and certify the results. This is a highly respected research facility. They will test fuel consumption, emissions, horsepower, foot pound torque, etc, all at varying rpm. Let's save judgement until after the results are announced, probably early in June. The visit to the University of WI is planned for late this month.
I would appreciate someone with greater knowledge than I (Shas, Sword) to please explain the relationship between rpm, torque and horsepower. Please give us an example of a standard size engine running at varying rpm and the torque and horsepower that's produced. Also, please explain, Break Specific. What's the standard break specific for an internal combustion engine? Any elaboration is welcome.
Best of Luck, Greg |
