More from our friends at "Damn Interesting"; the Holy Grail search for a better combustion engine goes on.
Only a little more than 20% of the energy released from the fuel in your gas tank is used to drive the car forward, the rest is merely converted to heat within the engine and exhaust. Imagine how miserly your fuel usage would be if all of the energy was converted to driving force and you could reduce the weight of the car significantly.
Of course this article is only about one new idea; you should also check out www.coatesengine.com/products.html and www.new4stroke.com for other angles on the search for the better internal combustion engine.
