The MYT Engine

06/02/2007 by dave.

Hello everyone,

I was looking through one of the many car forums that I am a member of, and I saw this link Linky linky

The above link is a youtube video showing a new design in engine called the MYT (Massive Yet Tiny) Engine. Now this is no ordinary new engine, this is a whole new design of how the internal combustion engine works. Not only that, the creators of this new design say that it can give massive power and torque figures from units only a fraction the size of current engines.

Because of the way that the MYT engine is designed, like the rotary Wankel engine it has very few moving parts, and there for less energy is lost.

Here is the wiki page for the engine, this may clear up a few questions you might have (I am terrible at explaining things lol).

This could very well be the future of the internal combustion engine, but i think that it will depend on how the idea is received by the automotive industry. They could take the idea and develop it and test it even more, or they could try and bury the idea and try and bury it and forget about it.

Whatever happens i wouldn’t get too excited yet, I believe there is still lots and lots of testing to be done on the engine to see how long they will last, to see the effects of high pressure stress on the different components etc.
