Testing of Scuderi Engine at Part Load Shows Consistent Combustion

WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - March 15, 2010 - Independent laboratory test
results of the Scuderi Engine prototype at part load show a coefficient of
variability (COV) of 2.5 - 4 percent, it was announced today. This range,
which measures the variance between each combustion cycle, proves that the
Scuderi Cycle's combustion process is as consistent as that of a
conventional Otto Cycle engine, which in many cases has a wider COV range. 

 

Testing of the naturally aspirated, one-liter gasoline engine at Southwest
Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas, continues to meet or exceed the
initial computer simulations. The current testing program, which will map
the engine from idle to 4000 rpm, measures how the engine operates under a
variety of driving speeds up to full throttle - or "full load." 

 

"While exploring the engine speeds in the range of 1000 to 3250 rpm, we
continue to see extremely successful and consistent combustion," commented
Stephen Scuderi, vice president and patent attorney for Scuderi Group. "We
continue to be extremely pleased with the test results."

 

The Scuderi Engine employs a new and proven thermodynamic process known as
the Scuderi Cycle, which is expected to be the most significant advancement
in internal combustion engines since the inception of the Otto Cycle over
130 years ago. The Scuderi Engine's design separates the four strokes of a
conventional engine over two paired cylinders.  One cylinder does
intake/compression while the other cylinder does power/exhaust. Using a
unique combustion process known as "firing after top-dead center," the
Scuderi Engine has more power, higher efficiency and lower emissions than a
conventional gasoline engine.
