A revolutionary design is being hailed as the internal combustion engine for a new industrial revolution. Its inventor, Raphial Morgado, calls his baby The MYT ( Massive Yet Tiny) Engine.
Not as snappy a name as Diesel but its got to better than Wankel. What was wrong with calling it the Morgado Engine? Anyway, on with the story....
The engine uses a bank of rotating pistons giving the equivalent of 32 cylinders!!! The result is an engine with a phenomenal power/weight surpassing the jet-turbine and 40 times that of a tradition ic engine. Further banks of pistons can be added, giving 64 or even 96 cylinders to double or treble its power. The engine is also very efficient; placing on in a car would return 180 MPG.
Imagine, a 32 cylinder, 850hp engine not much bigger than waste paper bucket!!!
As yet, the engine has not been fuel tested and only test ran on compressed air. The above figures are projections.
In this clip, MYT engine inventor Raphial Morgado provides an in-depth overview of the engine during the Los Angeles Auto-Show, where he described the goals behind the $4 million dollar R&D project, his personal interest in emerging engine technologies, and the remarkable features of the MYT engine technology.
Video is from 2006 los Angeles auto show,Michael Raines intervews inventor Raphial Morgado describes the operation of the MYT engine, a revolutionary new type of internal combustion engine promising
This engine outputs immense power and torque although being very small. The engine shown here is being driven by compressed air, and the RPM is shown in the bottom right hand corner. The 14" model outputs 850BHP, Normally aspirated. Spread the word.
Short video showing the internals of the MYT engine mechanism. Done as a learning project in CAD.
