Maybe you can help with some other questions or inform us as to the validity of previous experts statements.
From one who signs off as shashyazhi and I believe he posts on the BAAT board, the following statements were made -
"The OX2 engine is about the size of an 1100 cubic centimeter Suzuki MOTORCYCLE engine."
"The inventor has designed the engine to fire four times as often as a conventional four stroke engine. Normally, a four stroke engine takes two full turns to fire all of its cylinders."
"But the OX2 engine fires all eight cylinders TWICE in only ONE revolution."
"This means that the pistons have to travel back and forth at a furious rate equivalent to a motorcycle engine turning 10,000 RPM."
"The mean piston speed for the 75 millimeter stroke is ABOVE what is considered acceptable for racing use. The pistons have to travel 4905 feet per minute."
"Racing dictates that piston speed be kept below 4500 feet per minute."
"So what AENG has is a hot rod engine set up to impress naive investors who don't know much about engines."
(Maybe shashyazhi will help Carroll Shelby get over his lack of knowledge about engines)-------- JUST MY THOUGHTS, back to his.
"Running at the equivalent of 10,000 rpm, the engine will not last very long."
"If you saw an OX2 installed under the hood of a Chevy Impala, you would laugh."
"You'd say, how is that little thing going to haul that Chevy around?"
"The OX2 dyno charts have a few readings, and a straight line is projected on the graph to indicate that horsepower will keep on climbing past 2500 RPM."
"This is ridiculous, because the engine is running past reasonable limits when it is turning 2500. It will probably never reach 3000 RPM without destroying itself."
"Then of course, Shelby and Teague (niave investors who don't know much about engines according to shashyazhi------AGAIN MY THOUGHTS) claim that the OX2 only uses half the fuel, in pounds per horsepower per hour, that a conventional engine uses."
"Now they may have something there, with some sort of fuel system which converts liquid fuel into hot vapor instead of tiny droplets."
Now 1411, aside from shashyazhi's inference that Shelby and Teague are naive and don't know much about engines, does the rest of what is said in the post accurate and true.
Things such as "the engine will not last very long", "never reach 3000RPM without destroying itself". After you have read this could you please comment on what you may know about the OX2. You don't need to comment on shashyazhi's insult to Shelby and Teague. He obviously wrote this for a purpose.
I look forward to seeing what you have to say regarding the OX2. |
