LiquidPiston Unveils Compact High Efficiency Engine at the 2010 SAE World C

LiquidPiston 20 HP engine (it was photoshopped from Liquid Piston) is said to provide 20% to 50% improvement in efficiency over existing diesel engines. In a paper to be presented at the 2010 SAE World Congress, April 13-15 at the Cobo Center in Detroit Michigan, LiquidPiston, Inc. will publicly reveal for, the first time, the architecture of its High Efficiency Hybrid Cycle? (HEHC) engine. Based on a series of patented technology breakthroughs developed by a serial innovator and his MIT- educated son, Drs. Nikolay and Alec Shkolnik, the thermodynamic efficiency of the HEHC cycle offers a 20% to 50% improvement over the best diesel engines. In addition, the engine is ultra-compact, delivering one horsepower per pound, and operating quietly without a muffler.
