For the past 100 years there has been relatively little innovation in
the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), but with gas prices at record
highs and the economy squeezing average Americans, engine developer
Rotoblock, Inc. (OTCBB:ROTB) has a new innovation called the Oscillating
Piston Engine (OPE).
Not since Ernest Godwin developed his Economizer in 1908 have experts
recognized any remarkable innovation in Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)
technology. Online encyclopedia Wikipedia lists the year 1908 as the
last milestone in their overview on the history of the ICE.
With gas-electric hybrids quickly becoming the fastest-selling cars in
America, the future of the ICE seems uncertain. Some major automakers
are even predicting in the future all their models may be hybrid or
electric. While the days of the ICE seemed to be numbered, Rotoblock, a
small startup in Northern California, still believes in pistons.
Rotoblock has patented what is called the Oscillating Piston Engine,
which they believe can increase the power-to-weight ratio by up to four
times that of today's ICE. What's more, they are researching other drive
train and power delivery technologies that may increase the efficiency
of thousands of today's consumer products exponentially. The Company has
attracted an ambitious new management team led by a Chinese-American
entrepreneur who is exploring new business opportunities in China that
can bring the Oscillating Piston Engine and other technologies to world
markets.
An Oscillating Piston Engine (OPE), unlike the standard ICE,
incorporates four pairs of pistons. Each piston is a segmented toroidal
section traveling within the closed toroidal chamber of a rotating
cylinder block. The combustion chamber is formed between each pair of
pistons and as they rotate these pistons oppose each other creating a
four-cycle interaction of combustion and exhaust. The repetition of
these four combustion cycles produces sixteen power strokes for each
revolution of the cylinder block. For a detailed explanation of the
technology, visit Rotoblock's website at http://www.rotoblock.com.
What this could mean for the average user of a gas engine is that, with
a Rotoblock OPE, fill-ups could be once a month instead of every week.
