That engine block was milled from a single solid piece of heat treated billet aluminum. And weighs less than 100lbs. Its amazing what some people are capable of creating given the right technology. |

ya thats what i was thinking, not sure if anyone has seen the new concept motor that is labelled a "constant comubstion" engine. has no crankshaft, weighs 100 pounds and produces 800hp. i had a video of it, but can;t find the link.

NIceeeeeee, LMAO.!! See that i didn't know....so interesting engines are. And they just keep gettin interesting....Wait a few years cause I'm hoping this diesel drag racing takes off big. I seen one at Mission recently in a top fuel style car...twin turbos that were 3 times the size of my hand!!  I didn't know it was diesel till it blew black out the exhaust! YUCk!! Turbo's in a dragster?!? Nothing beats instant power right off the line like a roots blower. Only thing that arguably comes close is a whipple-type supercharger. A whipple might not be able to crank out the raw amt of psi that those roots blowers give out. |

Alot of guys spray nitrous to get the turbos to spool almost instantly. Although there is nothing quite like the sound of a supercharger howling away up the 1/4 mile.  |

Constant combustion, no crank, I guess maybe it's like a jet turbine engine? I couldn't find any info on it...

that would be awesome if it was rotary....those engines are quick but they eat a lot of fuel up but anything will with that horsepower I suppose. I had my speakers cranked and that link scared the crap out me.!!

I remember seeing that engine before. Its made by a company called Revetec. http://www.revetec.com/?q=taxonomy/term/42Not quite sure about the 800hp claim, but they say it makes about 3x as much torque as a conventional engine of the same size. |
