March 2003 - MIT study says :
Improving gasoline and diesel engines is the way to go !
Hydrogen car is no environmental panacea.
The hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle will not be better
in terms of total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions by 2020.
If we need to curb greenhouse gases,
improving mainstream gasoline and diesel engines is the way to go.
These results come from an assessment of a variety
of engine and fuel technologies forecasting no real 'breakthroughs'
(The Quasiturbine having been excluded from the study).

With our OTTO mode piston engine, about
half the gasoline used in the
transportation sector is literally
wasted
to fight the intake atmospheric vacuum depression
generated by the carburetor
or injector manifold butterfly-valve (The engine-braking
effect).
This is half the pollution of the transportation activities !
See how the photo-detonation Quasiturbine
can save this amount of fuel.

A White Paper on the Quasiturbine technology
Quantum Parallel: The
Saint-Hilaire "Quasiturbine"
As The Basis For A Simultaneous Paradigm Shift in Vehicle Propulsion
Systems
 Amidst
myriad, and many times unsupportable, claims of technological
breakthroughs capable -- fuel cells being at the top of this
contention --of inducing vehicular design and engineering paradigm
shifts, we have concluded that the Saint-Hilaire "Quasiturbine" may
very well provide impetus to retire the piston engine. It has served
humanity for nearly two centuries, and has earned its rest.
eMOTION! REPORTS.com is providing
a comprehensive white paper that will perhaps allow you to reach the
same conclusion...

For a look at the Quasiturbine in Virtual
Reality (Vrml)
( See
also Synthesis paper in "La maîtrise de
l'énergie" de AQMÉ and the Popularized 2000 in French)
While most rotary engines use the principle of volume variation between a curve and a
moving cord, this new engine concept makes use of a "seven degrees of freedom X,
Y, q, ø1,
ø2, ø3, ø4" rotor, trapped inside an internal housing contour, and does not require a
central shaft or support. This concept is the result of research for an hybrid
turbine-piston engine with a fixed center of gravity during rotation (zero vibration). The
invention is an assembly of four carriages supporting the pivots of a four-element,
variable-shape rotor. This rotor rolls on the inner surface of a profiled stator shaped
like a skating rink (just like a roller bearing). During the rotation, the rotor
components align alternatively in a lozenge and a square configuration. This device can
act as a pump, a compressor, a flow meter, or as an engine (including pressurized fluid
mechanical energy converter). It is self-synchronized and uses no valves (only fixed ports
in the stator or alternatively, ports on the lateral side covers). Central support of the
rotor is not required for most applications. Four cycles are completed in every rotation.
The maximum geometrical compression ratio is a function of the maximum diagonal ratio
selected at design. As for turbine engines, ignition is only required initially, since
combustion is kept continuous between successive cycles by way of an ignition transfer
slot or cavity. The continuous combustion produces an enhanced dynamic compression ratio.
The device incorporates few parts. It has an excellent torque continuity even at low rpm
(Due to its high torque pulsation rate, this device requires less flywheel effect and
gearbox ratio for most applications). It is suitable for uses such as aeronautics, where
high reliability is required. Having no oil pan, it can be operated in completely
submerged or hostile environments. The asymmetry of the strokes and the precocity of the
mixture intake and gas expansion (without excess volume during expansion) allow for a
better initial mechanical energy conversion. A fast reduction in the combustion chamber of
the temperature, the pressure and the confinement time leads to less NOx
production, and less heat transfer toward the engine block, all contributing to improve
the power density and the efficiency over the piston engine. The Quasiturbine meets the
hydrogen engine criteria.

What would be the size of a 4000 HP
Quasiturbine ?
Here is the theoretical steam case at 33 bars (500 psi) differential pressure
at 1800 RPM without any gearbox
(This high power regime is not particularly efficient, even if it can be
maintained in continuous operation)
(The extrapolation does not guaranty that the steam flow will permit to reach
1800 RPM for the larger units) :
Notice that in 4 strokes internal combustion mode,
the Quasiturbine power is about 1/8 of the one indicated, increasing with the
maximum RPM.
In practice, divide the torque and power by 2 to account for the form factor
would provide more realistic results.

Mr. Alan Marr reminds us that : Nature always does it first !
The F1-ATPase enzyme has a tiny structure 10x10x8 nm that is analogous to a rotary engine
block, and a drive shaft. It rotates at 30 to 240 rpm. The
"block" is based on a triangular arrangement of three subunits.
