That's a very nice concept.:) Anyway, just want to share with you guys that The Hiroko, an electric city car based on MIT styles, will be built starting next year in Spain. The car is the product of MIT, and a consortium of companies from the Spanish Basque areas.

“The time has come,” the Walrus said, “to speak of many things, of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings…..” It is also time for me to bid goodbye to my friends on this blog ( I hope we can keep in touch ) and to say a few parting words. My project the Rotary Pulse Jet Engine, was a good project, a really good project: It was light, compact, efficient and powerful, remedied many of the defects of the IC piston engine and best of all was feasible. It would probably have been better even than an electric car, when you consider that using a 2 KW solar panel measuring over 225 sq ft it would take 12.5 hours or realistically about 3 days to recharge an EV with a 25 KWh battery. That said, and a lot of this is due to pk47’s wise counsel, it is unfortunate that I live in a very isolated area, where it is difficult to meet people and bring about meaningful dialogue and partnerships. Yet. As GE probably realized, this is what is needed in a project like mine. So in the words of John Donne:
“No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main……………………” So long and the best of luck in this and all of your future endeavours.

Different circumstances require different solutions, for instance apartments might need different energy solutions to stand alone homes, in order to make a start I decided to look at some home power generators. It seems that for a generator that would meet all situations in the home it would need to generate approx: 3 KW (given good energy management ). A generator like this would run for 20 hours on 3.4 gallons of petrol, and would be able to support, refrigerator, furnace microwave and so on.
The figures are not too bad considering that the generator would need to run for 4 hrs – 5 hrs max. with renewable supplying power for the rest of the time, which would work out to about a gallon of fuel over 24 hours. It can be fixed to automatically turn on when supply falls below a certain level. It is still a frightening prospect to depend solely on something like this but like incandescent lights, when they were first invented by Edison, we have to get used to it. Is it possible to improve on this generator system ? Not unless something radical like the flywheel assisted RPJ is implemented. For one thing a conventional generator has to run more or less at its rated level all the time, a generator powered by a flywheel would put out only as much power as is needed at any given time. So it can deal with fluctuations in demand more efficiently. Also all of the power generated by the engine over a short time is stored in the flywheel after which the engine is switched off, so there is no wasted energy.
We are, or should be on a war footing, to get renewable green energy implemented at a meaningful scale. I was thinking the other day that when the need arose in war for light portable artillery pieces that would be effective against tanks, the concept of the Bazooka was fast tracked and became a main stay in infantry equipment. Yet, even though the advantages of using a modified version of the same system for peaceful means such as transport and co-generation, no-one seems to be willing to take the risk, even though it would be quite cost effective to do so.

pk47,
Thanks for the link, it is heartening to know that such initiatives are being followed.

Thanks Debesh,
your support means a lot to me , thank you !

Prospero, Your inquisitive mind... a big treasure of even more brilliant ideas and exploration....!!!! We really missed you for quite a while.. But Good God there is one big bell ringing on our ears.. Hope it is not a Doppler effect... I am sure we never missed the train... But now We all need a VAN powered by your Flywheel assisted rotary pulse jet engine to get extra mileage.... Wish All the active BLOG users a PLEASANT RIDE ...!!! Good luck

Take a look at the link at the end of this post ! When I suggested that a car could give a 1000 mpg in a perfectly respectable forum. I got literally ---- upon , was the victim of a fire storm to put it mildly. Yet here is the accomplished fact, or in fact more than 2.5 the accomplished fact! The beauty of my engine design is that it can give the same type of performance (e.g., 1000 mpg) while performing the tasks and bearing the load of any normal car! What do the naysayers and the armchair philosophers have to say to this !! http://www.smartplanet.com/business/blog/smart-takes/this-vehicle-gets-25648-miles-per-gallon/15656/

The new hybrid car produced by General Motors the Chevy Volt, has sold more than 1200 cars in the first quarter and demand for the cars is very high. By contrast the pure electric Nissan leaf is having teething problems. This just reinforces what I have been saying all along that hybrids are more dependable and give better value for money than pure EV’s

I just thought I would add a bit more information about my fly wheel assisted rotary pulse jet engine concept. Many of you are rightfully skeptical about whether such a concept will work. As I had mentioned before the concept has been tried out in helicopters since the 1950’s the difference is that, those designs either used jet engines that burned fuel continuously at the tips of the rotors causing over heating or they used compressed air. One fact that does emerge is that this concept provided a lot of power because of the long lever arm and the right angles at which force was exerted. Here you can see a
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3h6Q4hTveCo&feature=related”> youtube presentation of a tip jet rotor.
In this instance no fuel is burned the helicopter runs on compressed air, But imagine a performance like that using just compressed air. Further delivery of the compressed air is exactly as detailed in my own invention through a rotary union and to the rotor tips through pipes in the rotor blades. The diameter of the rotor must be at least 24 feet.

Thanks for the link. It is something like a wankel although it avoids, or seems to avoid working on an eccentric. But because of that the combustion cycle is not well defined, there is a feeling that at ignition the rotor can go either way, maybe it is designed to spin in only one direction. Otherwise it is still the same tired old concept dating from the days of the steam engine using expansion to push things along. It might work and it might not, the same, at least in my opinion cannot be said of my design, it will almost certainly work given the fact that the recoilless rifle worked. In any case my design is easier to implement. I would really love to validate my design and go into the prototype stage.
