New Omega 1 engine

Post by 70MTRoadster »

Type in Omega 1 Engine on You tube and be amazed! Engine weight of 35 lbs., 160hp and 25,000 rpm. Fascinating engine technology, AIR cooled and they are talking about hydrogen fuel for zero emissions but even with gasoline, WAY more efficeient than out IC engines. This goes to show you that their are still minds out there that can defeat whatever "global warming" or "climate change" point of views exist. Can you imagine? OK, how about a generator motor like this for EV cars to charge the batteries? Anyway, go look and post what you think, I am encouraged beyond words.

Sounds like Nissan's 1984 teased ceramic engine.
It would burn about anything flammable high revs .....gee I wonder what ever happened to it ?

There was a young guy in Arizona in the 80s that got a V8 American car to get 65 -75 mpg by running it basically on fumes , he got media attention, but it was on level ground , and it was detonateing and blew up

We’ve been using gasoline powered engines for around 150 years now give or take. Maybe we have another 150 or so years left before it runs out or what’s remaining becomes too expensive to get at and refine. One thing is certain, sooner or later it will run out. If engines like the Omega 1 is what can be done when you don’t have to change, I would imagine the scope of what’s possible will explode when the time comes where we do have to change - Necessity has always been the Mother of invention; pretty sure that won’t change.
