LiquidPiston’s rotary engines are the first disruption to engine technology in over a century. These engines are not Wankel engines; they are uniquely configured to adopt the company’s patented thermodynamic cycle and its associated efficiency and low-noise benefits. LiquidPiston’s X Engine improves virtually all parameters – efficiency, weight, size, vibration, and noise.
LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMPACT
- High power density – up to 2 HP/Lb (3.3 kW/kg)
- 30% smaller and lighter for spark-ignition (SI) gasoline engines
- Up to 75% smaller and lighter for compression-ignition (CI) diesel engines
QUIET
- No poppet valves
- Exhaust turbulence minimized by over-expansion; no muffler required
LOW-VIBRATION
- Only two primary moving parts, optimally balanced, resulting in near-zero vibration
HIGH-EFFICIENCY
- 20% decrease in fuel consumption possible for SI gasoline engines
- 50% decrease in fuel consumption possible for CI diesel engines
MULTI-FUEL CAPABLE
- Diesel, gasoline, natural gas, JP-8
SCALABLE
- From 1 HP to over 1000 HP
