Howdy Thomas, There is a far step from an inventor and an engineer- design team. Mention the word "inventor" and we run. Mention the inventors' work is patented and we duck our head waiting for the noise sure to follow. All engine designs that perform useful work are similar. The difference be

I corresponded with an inventor who had a patent on an engine design that sounded similar to this. R C Macaulay wrote: Interesting thinking Jones. A proposed valveless, pistonless engine/motor concept is being studied whereas the "engine" is ring shaped and drives a cluster of embedded cavity

The following suggestion, or a version of it, will be implemented by some perceptive auto manufacturer in the coming years. Unfortunately, due to entrenched lethargy and inertia and the "not-invented-here syndrome", it is doubtful that US auto makers will be the first. But on the off-chance that
