    Dr. Paul Engine?

    Wow thanks for the firsthand info tbuelna! Do you think the design is any more promising 20 years later? Or is it just a novel approach that has run its course?

    Dr. Paul Engine?

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I learned a lot. For clarification, the Part 4 @ 3:50 talks about using some kind of liquid nitrogen setup to cool the exhaust which happened to reduce pollutants - I guess by avoiding the disassociation temps blackcobra2003 mentioned. I'd previously thought he...

    Dr. Paul Engine?

    Lots of things about it ring alarm bells so I'm seeking expert insights. I understand that the claims are so absurd as to be dismissed without blinking BUT the presentation seems straightforward, transparent and not at all smooth or salesy. And I've never heard of that kind of...

    TDImeister, What is it that makes this design foolish and the Hofbauer/Ecomotors OPOC design worthwhile? In the Ecomotor design I see that the crank situation is taken care of; and balance doesn't seem to be an issue. What else makes the Dr. Paul concept a dead end?

    Dr. Paul Engine?

    Yes, the blog post is egregious, but it has some value as a thumbnail reference for those who want to witness the shocking claims without watching the 35 minute video. It's all about the electric turbochargers lol: This design supposedly allows 147psi of boost and 30:1 compression because it...

    Dr. Paul Engine?

    Some juicy claims about prototypes of the particular opposed piston engine described in the video: 1. 80% efficiency 2. full fuel burn - no detectible pollution is emitted 3. can output ~900hp/liter due the design's extreme tolerance for boost 4. eliminates the piston scuffing issue etc. It...

    What's the concensus on the 'Dr. Paul' Opposed Piston engine talked about in this Youtube video: part1: http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz8Z9geyOkk&feature=related part2: http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=K6ahbdkJTN8&feature=related part3: http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=hTnxsqX9FhE&feature=related...
