LIBRALATO - Libralato Engine Prototype |
|
The Libralato rotary engine is a potential breakthrough technology – an eco-engine for the 21st century, with an asymmetrical geometry of expansion and compression volumes, which does not need to convert the linear motion of pistons into the rotary motion of the output shaft. The Libralato engine is predicted to demonstrate: a power phase in every revolution (giving it twice the power density of a reciprocating engine), exceptionally high mechanical and thermal efficiency, beyond Euro 6 standards of emissions, high and constant levels of torque, very low vibration, low exhaust gas noise and temperature with no need for valves, pistons, con-rods, crankshafts, cam shafts etc. |
|
Added value for SMEs The Libralato engine is potentially a globally significant invention that it is predicted to be approx 9% more efficient than a reciprocating engine (i.e. 39% efficient compared to a 30% efficient gasoline engine and 49% efficient compared to a 40% efficient diesel engine). Since it is a rotary engine, it dispenses with need for pistons, con-rods, crankshafts etc. and therefore it is approximately half the size and weight of a gasoline engine ie. approx 40kg for 50kW. Due to the engine's unique thermodynamic cycle, the engine is predicted to meet Euro 6 standards. |
