Scuderi Split Cycle Engine
Found this a bit interesting, there were a lot of videos on it. Even a split cycle engine running.

Its time for fresh ideas for internal combustion engines.

@Nepean109 Couldn't agree more, there is always room for improvement.

There have been fresh ideas ever since the ICE's invention. The archive of popular tech literature is full of them. Some have failed (like the Wankel), and some have been incorporated.

@interwebs2012 --there is that useless and stupid european pride rearing its ugly head again. Listen. Shut off your computer and go do something about the problem of islam that europe has. THEN you will have something to be proud of.

@interwebs2012 lol, your almost good at trolling. But that has become kind of a fad and now a lame one, there is a kind of trolling that is funny when it is done to naive people with a a pretty harmless approach, but this is obvious and anyone from 8-80 that is even remotely familiar with the "interwebs" knows that it is a pathetic way to exist.

Very cool. I'm no engineer but I would think that combustion cylinder would get outrageously hot. But all these new designs have kinks, just need lots of funding to figure them out, I'm all for new and improved.

I have never heard of an engine that fires before TDC.

@Fahstahoahn it's firing after TDC, firing before is called detonation and can harm an engine.

@PSR J1748-2446ad I'm pretty sure most engines fire the spark plug just before the piston reaches TDC. Thats one of the things that makes this engine different.
"In a vast majority of cases, the angle will be described as a certain angle advanced before top dead center (BTDC)"

@whatduh
All internal combustion engines fire BTDC, this way max. cylinder pressure happens at TDC.

@whatduh -Wow. I cn't believe you said that. All American cars of the 60s and 70 that I know of were timed to a varying number of degrees before top center. And detonation is caused by firing way too early, not just a little early.

Really interesting to see. In a way it seems sort of like a re-vamp of steam engine principles.
The question that comes to my mind is the psi in the tanks in regard to accidents. Are these potentially explosive?

@Rebel_Radius - I'm more than sure they've incorporated some kind of relief/blow off valve.

What if you took Ecomotor's OPOC engine and gave it Scuderi cylinders?

mazda had a miller cycle engine nearly 20 years ago, it was the supercharged 929s that had it, and maybe some 626s. funny how his video did'nt really elude to how the transfer of intake charge made it to the combustion piston. there is no reintventing this wheel, but it was a good sales pitch to try and get some poor sap to fund what eventually would be to expensive and problematic to produce and market. you can bet your ass if mazda could'nt do it, nobody can.

To me it looks like they took a regular air compressor and just added fuel and a spark. Take a look at one the next time your in the home depot, the 80 gal. ones, they are 2 cylinder, one small piston and one larger one, and one cylinder is for intake which then transfers that air to the other cylinder for compressing into the tank. Hell, they even have an air tank too LOL!

@kamotz That is a two stage compressor, this is revolutionary out of the box thinking.
Usually the best ideas are the most simple ones. You are eliminating one stroke where the piston is doing nothing more than expelling the combustion gases, by separating it into two cylinders they increase the efficiency, so they can make the engine smaller. It's so simple it is brilliant.

@saul693 Hey if they can increase power and efficiency I'm all for that. And I hope they can. But they were totally looking at a 2 stage air compressor when they came up with this. And why not?

@kamotz they actually call the sparkless piston the compressor half, so it is beating around the same concept.

Can it run on Hydrogen?

@DemocratWithDerringer it can potentially run on anything that current Otto cycle engines run on I would think.

@oldevil
The Scuderi is a very recent development, and as yet untried.
The trick is to not only design and prove a new paradigm of efficiency, but achieve efficiencies great enough to justify the sometimes-immense costs and risks associated with any major shift in a widely-held and reliable dogma.
