Hydrogen Powered Liquid Piston Rotary Go-Kart
Рет қаралды 536,796
Күн бұрынThe guys at Liquid Piston Mounted The Liquid Piston Rotary Engine on the Go-Kart and ran it on Hydrogen for the 1st Time, proving that the Liquid Piston Rotary is well suited for Hydrogen.
I also show a clip of the see-thru Liquid Piston Rotary Running on Hydrogen in Slow Motion to see what is happening inside this new revolutionary Rotary Engine While it's running on Hydrogen and how it's so much different than the Wankel Rotary Engine.
I also show the original see-thru Mini Wankel Rotary that I built in Slow Motion for a comparision.
I cant wait to see where they go with the hydrogen-powered rotary, seeing as the only byproduct of burning hydrogen is air and water this is a fuel that just might carry us into the future, who knows but tell me what you think in the comments.

Food for thought: on same crankshaft, imagine a permanent magnet motor integrated into the shaft. So serves two purposes: 1 generating electricity like a a stanard alternator *OR* 2. Applying power to the electric motor to power assist the liquid piston motor and basically boost its output.
@ProDigit80 2 жыл бұрын
I said the same thing. Permanent magnets are the best, but apparently notoriously difficult to control (sync with the engine speeds). Permanent magnet motors are higher efficiency motors, that are best used as a generator only. I believe Honda uses them. And have a cog that allows some of them to rotate at speeds of up to 18k rpm. They are much smaller in design than even the liquid piston. Excess power can be stored in a battery. But all this will make the design unnecessarily complex and expensive.

@massexodus5756 2 жыл бұрын
An inline motor would be regenerative like an alternator but instead apply voltage to it and now the shaft rotation/torque are improved. You are in that case helping spin the crank. Power booster. Now make this motor/alternater also be able to draw in air while rotating to boost fuel-air mix pressure and you have a motor booster, a pressure booster (al electric supercharger of sorts) and when not driven, you get alternator and furl intake pressure boost (supercharger effect...boost intake pressure)
@ProDigit80 2 жыл бұрын
@@massexodus5756 Question is, if an electric supercharger/turbo, is in any way better than a regular turbo. Yes, it can be more instantaneously. On the other hand, it also robs power from the engine, in a way that a regular turbo doesn't. The exhaust back pressure losses from a turbo is much lower than any electric drain on the engine to push a turbo/supercharger, as the turbo/supercharger needs to be active all the time. (if it doesn't rotate, the engine will create a vacuum between itself and the turbo/supercharger). Meaning you'd get a constant energy drain. As such, it will be more comparable to a supercharger, which always has worse fuel economy than a turbo. The best thing to do, is get a permanent magnet generator, and an asynchronous motor, and a battery. The whole unit weighs more than a 4 stroke engine of 4x the size.
@massexodus5756 2 жыл бұрын
@@ProDigit80 my thoughts would all need proven out with an inline motor/generator/pressure-booster, i just think someone should look into the opportunity(s) i propose. Perhaps for example the amount of boost is limited say 2 psi boost or whatever. But it's a start. The next level for engine tech is a motor which has both electrical and combustion engines co-integrated. And along with that is a stack of devices inline with the crank that would perform say power steering, power brakes, water pump, etc.

It ain't the future. You could use the electricity ti charge a battery and then power an electric motor at 90% efficiency. Or you could use electricity to electrolyze water into hydrogen gas at a 50% efficiency at best, use more electricity to compress it so you can actually store it, use more electricity to get it to a filling station and then burn it in a combustion engine at maybe 40% efficiency. So all in all you could drive somewhere in an EV or you can spend 6 times as much to drive to the same place in the same vehicle but this time it's powered by a combustion engine burning hydrogen.

Hydrogen + rotary = EPIC LiquidPiston: Thanks for bringing it to life, serious potential. As an armchair enthusiast, I've had a very similar idea but obviously no way to bring it to life. Warped Perception: Thanks for filming. The more publicly these alternative technologies are covered, the more likely they are to succeed. I'll be investigating the LiquidPiston further thanks to your content. 🙂👍 I love the elegant engineering to combat the typical detonation hot spot that wankle engines have (because of one combustion chamber) AND the geometry of the rotor itself to compensate for the difference in quenching distance for hydrogen. Thank you for including the slow motion of this combustion process, amazing eye candy. [Perhaps consider an edit with gasoline comparison (acetylene was nice, but different visually than gasoline) to show the huge difference in flame speed and quench distance between the two fuel types?] I'll be waiting with anticipation to see LiquidPiston's future iterations of this project and the potential for eventual improvement beyond petroleum.

The energy density in hydrogen is, well unbeatable for a chemical reaction and the waste products of the reaction are always clean. Cool thing is, you could fuel both direct combustion and electric generating hydrogen engines at the same station and the fill-up takes roughly the same amount of time as gas. I really hope silly subsidies stop positively discriminating battery powered transportation and instead give chance to other clean alternatives, that don't have the many disadvantages of batteries.

@paulmichaelfreedman8334 2 жыл бұрын
The water doesn't condense in the pipe, the reaction product is gaseous water (steam) and any cold start condensation will quickly boil off from exhaust temperature. Hydrogen runs really HOT. You can't play with the stoichiometric ratio of H2 to O2 as you can with liquid fuel and oxygen. If anything you have to run it oxygen rich to reduce power of the stroke. If you run it H2 rich, you'd have a constant flame from your exhaust(and melt the tip of the pipe) as any hydrogen left in the exhaust product will immediately react with the atmospheric oxygen.

Thankfully this Liquid Piston engine can run on loads of different fuels. I've seen it run on propane, gasoline and diesel, as well as hydrogen now, so it is plenty flexible enough to remain relevant even if hydrogen doesn't take off

@@grovermatic i do agree, however claiming an engine is "running" when it is possibly not and just being spun by a electric motor with fuel being thrown in to cause a few bangs would hardly be considered running or making power by any means. when i see one run unassisted by an electric motor ill be more open to the idea that this engine design is actually plausible.

An engine running on gas or diesel produces water as a by product too. It comes out as steam and will just float off. A little might condense while the exhaust is cold, but it's really a non issue.

@walker3395 2 жыл бұрын
When it comes to Wankel rotaries (triangular rotors) oil is commonly added to the fuel which lubricates the rotor and apex seals then burns off during combustion, just like a 2 stroke engine you’d see in a line trimmer or chainsaw, but with the liquid piston, I have no idea. I only really understand liquid fueled systems, so I’m not sure about the gas either.

Since the seals aren't rotating, they could pump lube in through one side and out the other. With the see through plate provided by Warped Perception, this would have been ommited.

Something tells me its fake. Even when working, you can see the electric motor start to spin and propel the kart before the engine rev up. That kart is moving on lipos, and we can't know how much it's the engine recharging them.But seems like even the engine is moved by the electric motor, at least at the low rpm range. At this point, i need to see that engine working standalone, without even the dyno. You can see on the dyno footage that the engine is reved up before the ignition starts. That thing is smelling worse on each video. Sorry to all if I'm wrong, but they need to expect some skepticism and provide some proof like the engine working alone. They know it, and avoiding doing so seems suspicious. i really hope I'm wrong.
