THIS INSANE NEW Engine SHOCKS The Entire Car Industry!

in the world of advanced technology there exists a remarkable and unique engine known as the single stroke engine this extraordinary creation combines advancements from various engine types making it a highly promising Innovation that could potentially revolutionize the automotive industry what makes it truly exceptional is not only its groundbreaking design but also its impressive performance producing 120 horsepower from a mere 500 cubic centimeters of displacement all while weighing only 35 kilograms named the in engine short for Innovation engine it originates from Granada in Spain and has already undergone manufacturing installation and testing in a Mazda MX-5 in this video we will delve into the inner workings of the single stroke engine we will provide a comprehensive explanation of how it operates examine its advantages and disadvantages and explore its potential to shape the future join us and we will find out how does this engine work the engine consists of eight Pistons arranged in an opposed position instead of a cylinder head and crankshaft employs a complex shaped wavy component the Pistons rest on rollers which ride along the weighty surface when combustion occurs the force pushes the Pistons which in turn pushed the wavy component as the rollers move down the slope they rotate the wavy component two of these wavy components are connected by a shared shaft allowing the forces from all eight Pistons to combine and generate a single torque output at both ends of the engine in theory this design enables the connection of a drivetrain at both ends making it possible to create a simple well-balanced and lightweight four-wheel drive vehicle since the engine lacks a cylinder head cams and valves there is no need for a cam belt or cam chain at one end simplifying accessibility and maintenance now you may wonder how the engine manages to let air in and out without valves it operates similarly to Conventional two-stroke engines intake and exhaust ports are present which the Pistons cover and uncover during operation allowing air to enter and exhaust to exit the engine in the middle of the engine between the Pistons you'll find a fuel injector and a spark plug the spark plug ignites the air fuel mixture resulting in combustion pressure that pushes the Pistons outward as the Pistons move they uncover the intake and exhaust ports four pistons on one side handle intake while the other four pistons on the opposite side handle exhaust to prevent exhaust gases from escaping through the intake and causing issues the an engine utilizes Scavenging similar to traditional engines this process occurs when both the intake and exhaust valves are open simultaneously initially the exhaust Port of the in engine becomes exposed allowing pressurized exhaust gases to escape from the combustion chamber as these gases rapidly exit avoid or vacuum is created this vacuum is at a lower pressure than the atmospheric pressure outside the combustion chamber where the intake charge resides as a result the intake charge rushes into the combustion chamber filling it with fresh air the upward sloped section of the engine's mechanism then pushes the Pistons back up sealing off both the intake and exhaust ports once the ports are closed the compression phase begins fuel is injected into the chamber creating a compressed air fuel mixture and the cycle repeats when the spark plug ignites the mixture combustion takes place generating pressure that forces the Pistons downward the rotation of the engine's mechanism generates torque enabling power output essentially the iron engine is a straightforward design that lacks traditional cams and valves but incorporates direct injection not having intake valves means it avoids the typical intake valve deposits associated with direct injection on the engines providing the advantages of direct injection without the associated drawbacks however if you've been paying attention you may have noticed something that seems contradictory the concept of a one-stroke engine this engine is often referred to as a one-stroke engine but let's take a closer look in reality it operates on a two-stroke cycle during the first stroke combustion occurs alongside exhaust followed by the second stroke which involves intake and compression so we have two distinct Strokes not just one it's important to clarify this point because claiming it as a one-stroke engine is misleading in fact I'm not aware of any successfully mass-produced one-stroke engines and it's unlikely that we'll see one in the near future with current technology what's truly impressive about this design is that it functions as a direct injection two-stroke engine without the drawbacks typically associated with conventional two-stroke engines one significant Advantage is that it doesn't burn oil the oil is separated from the combustion chamber which is a noteworthy achievement in itself personally I find this aspect more noteworthy than the use of the term one stroke which seems more like a catchy marketing strategy the opposed piston design of the an engine offers a significant efficiency advantage in a non-opposed engine the combustion chamber is located above the Piston when combustion occurs the energy is transferred to the Piston generating useful work and torque however the combustion chamber doesn't contribute to the motion it only absorbs the heat generated in contrast the opposed piston design places pistons on both sides of the combustion chamber allowing for more efficient absorption and extraction of combustion energy to produce useful work and torque this makes oppose designs more efficient than non-opposed engine designs one of the notable features of the in engine is its ability to vary the compression ratio using a simple mechanism the two wavy components in the engine are connected but not fixed in position relative to each other they rest on angled grooves and adjusting their position along these grooves changes their relation to one another for example if both Pistons meet at top dead center while the wavy components are in this position the engine achieves its maximum compression ratio such as 12 to 1. by rotating one of the wavy components while keeping the opposed piston at top dead center the other piston moves slightly down the bore resulting in a reduced compression ratio let's say nine to one in theory this variable compression ratio can be combined with a Turbocharger at high RPM the engine can have low compression and high boost delivering impressive power output at low RPM the engine maintains high compression for enhanced efficiency and responsiveness without boost this combination offers the advantages of both low and high compression ratios all achieved through a straightforward mechanical Arrangement however let's dive deeper into the advantages of the in engine one notable feature is its perfect primary and secondary engine balance the opposed piston Arrangement ensures that the forces generated by the primary Pistons cancel each other out resulting in smooth movement additionally since there is no connecting rod the engine achieves perfect secondary balance as well now let's address a common question if the an engine has direct injection without the associated problems variable compression and excellent balance why isn't it widely used the fog logic behind the statement if it were good we would be using it already progress and Innovation often encounter skepticism before gaining acceptance furthermore the long-standing success of the conventional rod and piston design presents a significant challenge for novel engine designs the extensive research and development over a century have made the conventional design difficult to replace if we had dedicated the past Century to developing alternative designs like the scotch yoke or the an engine and someone in the rod and piston design today as a novel concept it would likely face criticism and doubt the conventional engine design has a significant advantage over the an engine when it comes to torque the crankshaft and conventional engines acts as a lever amplifying the forces generated by combustion this results in a strong torque output even at low RPMs on the other hand the an engine lacks significant leverage it has an arrangement where Pistons act on small slopes producing numerous small torque bursts the accumulation of these bursts should ideally result in a substantial overall torque output for the engine in engine claims that their 500 cc engine produces 150 newton meters of torque which is impressive however we don't know at which RPM range this peak torque occurs based on basic physics and observation it is likely that the peak torque occurs at high RPMs leading to disappointing low RPM torque to illustrate this let's consider a comparison between a single cylinder 600cc motorcycle engine and a four-cylinder 600 cc motorcycle engine in the single cylinder engine the large lever and piston generate a significant burst of torque with each Power Stroke providing good torque even at low RPMs in contrast the four-cylinder engine has smaller levers and pistons resulting in multiple small torque bursts that need to be accumulated to generate meaningful torque as a result a typical four-cylinder 600cc motorcycle engine tends to have weak low RPM Performance and torque with Peak torque occurring at high RPMs now if we imagine applying this concept to the in engine with its eight pistons and Tiny levers in a 500 package the torque curve would likely exhibit similar characteristics let's take a look at the installation of the engine in the Mazda MX-5 as an example in the video we see the engine being placed in the car some work being done on it and the car driving around the video concludes by providing specifications 500cc 120 horsepower 35 kilograms 40 centimeters quite impressive right however in the description they claim that this engine without any turbocharging can effortlessly move the mazdaq using atmospheric pressure alone but here's the problem there's a noticeable centrifugal supercharger in the engine bay supplying compressed air to the engine whether it's a turbo or a supercharger it's still forced induction definitely not atmospheric pressure although there's no official explanation it's quite evident that the engine struggled to move the car without forced induction a conventional 500cc engine could easily achieve 120 horsepower with the help of forced induction such as a supercharger so it seems like this engine doesn't offer any more power potential than a regular engine another concern is the lack of footage showing the car accelerating at Full Throttle especially from a standstill the stock 1.6 engine found in the Mazda mnx5 Na and NB models produces around 116 to 136 horsepower depending on the market and generation while it may not be the fastest car it still provides decent acceleration from a standstill due to its quid low RPM torque however we never see any powerful acceleration or Full Throttle footage from the in engine so we're left wondering about its torque output even with a supercharger furthermore the claims about the one-stroke design on their website are even more absurd they assert that their engine has twice as many power strokes per cylinder compared to a two-stroke engine and four times that of a four-stroke engine they also mentioned having two combustion events per revolution in their combustion chamber these statements are highly misleading because they're comparing a four-cylinder eight piston engine to single cylinder single piston conventional four-stroke and two-stroke engines once we consider the same number of cylinders the illogical nature of their argument becomes evident the an engine fires every 180 degrees of rotation which is exactly the same firing interval as a conventional four-cylinder four-stroke engine yes the an engine has combustion occurring simultaneously in two combustion Chambers but it definitely doesn't have two combustion events in one combustion chamber it seems like they're treating the entire engine as one single combustion chamber which doesn't make sense however it's crucial to note that despite its unique design the in engine still follows the same Power Stroke pattern as a conventional four-stroke four-cylinder engine with one power stroke occurring every 180 degrees of engine rotation another important aspect to consider is that the in engine features eight Pistons which results in piston ring friction equivalent to that of a conventional V8 engine this high level of friction made potentially offset the efficiency gains achieved through the opposed piston design
