Yes, we reached out to Škoda Auto, who are supposed to oversee the hybrid engine development for the entire group. However, they seem to favor their underwhelming and shaky three-cylinder engine. Perhaps they'll reduce it to two cylinders, which would make things even worse.

Why do you think?

Yes it's already running. The sealing is described in our website www.knobgear.com.

But there is nothing special here, no extraordinary movements or forces, just an ordinary crankshaft and a standard planetary gear. Therefore, we do not believe in the Wankel engine, and have even less faith in the new Porsche 6-stroke engine.

@@KNOBGEAR -- The centrifugal force will force the oil into the combustion chamber and will foul the spark plugs...That's why most engines are designed to run upright to keep oil away from the top of the engine where combustion takes place. This is the most glaring failure of this engine concept.

The only way that’s possible is to license the design to BMW. The wankel rotary is dead end design.

You mean the Radial engine. Rotary engines have always sucked (think WWI aircraft engines)

@@cabanford The cylinders of the engine in the video are rotating....

Yes, the engine sounds cool. But it's obvious that the engine did not have a stable idle run. We did not have the correct ECU settings and tuned values in the injection and ignition tables at that time.

Not unique much ...sound like Rtype engine of BMW (Motorbike) ...not coincidence that planed as air-motion unit 🙂

We believe that it has. Please visit our site www.knobgear.com/birotary-engine/ for more information.

There's no reason that it would.

you save the cylinder head with valves and camshafts

Sorry about the video quality. I used my family camera Canno SX540 HS with automatic settings and zoom to max, because it were so strong wind that others thought that the test will not be carried out :-D.

But wouldn’t this compete against a wankel?

@@miguelgameiro8063 This engine is better than a Wankel because it works with cylinders and pistons and does not have to seal variable trochoidal sealing surfaces

@@ralfdeckers1703 but it has to seal an internal cylinder either there is a lot of friction or you get oil on the chambers

Flaviomasenadore. Falsche Einschätzung. Die Bewegten Teile sind niedriger als bei einem vergleichbaren 4 Zylindermotor mit 180° Zündabstand. Hier gibt es keinen Ventiltrieb und der Motor ist für einen bestimmten Drehzahlbereich perfekt abgestimmt. Er läst sich einfacher herstellen und kann fürs Militär massenhaft hergestellt werden.
