Capable of 100:1 compression ratio, this new hybrid air engine by "Scuderi" is going to do great things for sports cars and power generation. It uses a split cycle design; two cylinders that work together so that ignition can take place immediately after top dead center. Split cycle engines date as far back as 1891. There is no more waiting for intake and exhaust cycling between fires. The first piston compresses air into a tank, then the air from that tank is released into the second piston for firing. This is an internal forced induction combustion process that is revolutionizing how engines work.

The secret to the success is by using oxygen as the main fuel, resulting in better gas economy and more power. These are very clean burning engines that can generate lots of power. There is a power stroke for every revolution which means more low end and continuous power. The engine can be modified by increasing boring out the compression side piston or by making the pressure holding tank smaller. A new way to modify engines is on the way! Imagine the power we can make with an engine like this.
Flame speeds of the Scuderi air hybrid engine are four times faster than conventional engines. An amazing amount of horse power and torque can be derived while minimizing the carbon foot print left behind. This "air engine" reuses the energy used to fuel itself, by generating compressed air with each revolution. It's original design started out as a way to capture CFC's from the atmosphere. They've converted that original air machine into an engine for our vehicles, trucks, tools, boats, and aircraft.

This new concept is being warmly received by field professionals of Massachusetts, Texas, Wisconsin, Michigan, Connecticut, and California. Automotive and defense contractors from around the world are also interested, hailing from countries like England, Germany, Russia, China, India, and Japan. The amount of interest and partners to develop this engine is constantly expanding as it gains notoriety with big industry. Quickly capturing the hearts of scientists and performance enthusiasts alike, this new air hybrid engine by Scuderi is going to revolutionize the world by creating enormous amounts of clean power. To secure their place in market, Scuderi has over 200 patents world wide protecting their technology.
Advantages of the Scuderi air hybrid engine is that it can be built using the technology we already have today. Comparing it to today's electric hybrids, it does not need the expensive, heavy battery that is holding electric hybrid technology back. Electric hybrids are weak in power when compared to the Scuderi air hybrid engine. This engine is very different approach to internal combustion, but it has many things in common with modern engines. It has pistons, valves, piston rings, engine block, intake manifolds and more. The Scuderi air hybrid engine also cuts back production costs due to it's simplicity. More power for less stuff means it will be easier to work on as well. The open and basic design of the engine makes it extremely reliable too.
The Scuderi air hybrid engine costs forty to fifty percent less to manufacture than today's engines. It has a similar construction which will make for minimal retooling costs associated with converting to the Scuderi design. This will allow the Scuderi to be brought to the public in a very quick manner once the technology is perfected. It also produces 77% less pollutants than today's standard internal combustion engine. Over all , the Scuderi air hybrid engine is going to do great things for mankind. "It's not a question of if this technology will take hold; it's a question of when."-Scuderi
