Rotary Powered Battery for your tech device needs.

I want this to have a portable rotary engine more than anything.

I bet it will get horrible mileage and will blow the apex seals in no time :lol:

Vic-Viper 06-13-2011 03:12 PM

No worries. There is a 10year / 100,000 mile warranty. The real question would be what type of oil to use.

9krpmrx8 06-13-2011 03:14 PM

:lol: Well we all know you cannot use synthetic or the engine will blow up.

Someone call Sohn so we can get proper lubrication.

That could complicate things with having to mount a reservoir, running lines, etc. :lol:

It's black. It will put out more current than the ones that are VR, WB, WWP, LY, ...........

It is a known fact the VR puts out more ......................................

I think I just call BS on the whole thing:

The Hybrid Battery is small, ultra-simple rotary engine with just two moving parts. Rotary engines — like the famous Wankel — are highly efficient and do away with pumping pistons an instead use a spinning rotary piston.
:lol:

Though I know the context they have it in isn't what most people see it as :)

I did read an article recently that noted that the higher content of energy in gasoline would mean that if an entire gas engine/fuel supply could be small enough to fit into the space that a current battery does today, that it would last longer at the same power output, or produce more power at the same duration, or a mix of the 2.

Only a matter of time until someone tried.

Simplicity of the rotary and it's agreed efficiency at fixed RPM fixed load running DOES make it ideal.

New money maker for Mazda :suspect:

Ladies love it.

A 15kw version may be enough to be a source for pressurised air to build a low lag turbo.

e.g. Forget the electrical output and mechanically connect it to the compressor side of a turbo.

Much easier to package and faster response time than an existing turbo.

Then run one per rotor for more power (am I getting too carried away now?)

Lets not forget to micro-premix and redline it lol

Wait until MM starts tuning that sucker!
