Freedom Rotapower Engine
Performance Advantages
- High power to weight
ratio
- More than 2 HP per
pound of installed weight in high-performance versions
- Compares with
.6 HP/lb. to 1 HP/lb. for 2-strokes and .3 HP/lb. to .65 HP/lb. for 4-stroke
pistons.
- High power to volume
ratio
- (Power Output / Volume)
> 100 HP per cubic foot of installed volume
- Compares with
36 HP/ft³ to 50 HP/ft³ for 2-strokes and 10 HP/ft³ to 20
HP/ft³ for 4-stroke piston engines.
- Few moving parts
- Moving Parts - only
2 for single rotor engine.
- Compares to 7
parts for 2-stroke and 25 parts for 4-stroke piston with same instantaneous
output torque.
- Solid fuel economy
- Specific Fuel Consumption
< .45 lb./HP-hr ~ (stratified charge). Expect <.4 lb./HP-hr when both
stratified charged and turbo-charged
- Compares to .65
lb./HP-hr for 2-strokes and ~ .4 lb/HP-hr for the best 4-stroke piston.
- Proven multi-fuel
performer
- Very low emissions
levels
- Enhanced energy at
exhaust
- Exhaust temperatures
> 1500 °F
- Acts like a naturally
occuring thermal reactor
- Ideal for turbocharge/co-generation
applications
- Low vibration levels
- Hard mounted engine
can be used as part of the structure
- Modular design
- Stacking of rotors
easily extends range of available power
