Hi Boet,

Looks like a very interesting engine! Could not get the http://www.revtech.au site to work, though.

Interesting... But is it as efficient as they claim?

Oupa-G's BMW gives around 235 g/kWh. For 75kw(100hp) that is around 13.2 l/hr

The revetech engine claims 209 g/kWh. For 75 kW (100hp) that is around 11.7 l/hr (Fuel density taken as 0.75)

Seems like a lot of complication for small gains. If they end up in cars they might actually make enough of them so we can get them at reasonable prices. For the moment I think Boet's Yaris engine looks like a much better option - And it won't be built in China like the Revetech one!!!!
