LIGHTWEIGHT/HIGH POWER DENSITY ENGINES

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO GENERATE SEVERAL POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO THE 2300HP/750HP MISMATCH REQUIREMENTS FOR THE HIGH WATER SPEED AMPHIBIOUS VEHICLE. TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM REQUIRES THE USE OF A VERY HIGH POWER DENSITY ENGINE WITH SMALL PROFILE. THE DYNA-CAM ENGINE IS THIS TYPE OF ENGINE. IT IS A UNIQUE ENGINE COMBINING THE BETTER FEATURES OF PISTON, ROTARY, AND TURBINE ENGINES. IT HAS PISTON FUEL ECONOMY, 50% TO 75% LESS PARTS (LIKE A ROTARY), AND STREAMLINE TURBINE SHAPE AND SMOOTHNESS. ABOUT 75% LESS SPACE IS NEEDED TO INSTALL. THREE DIFFERENT SIZE DYNA-CAM ENGINE DESIGNS WILL BE EVALUATED IN PHASE I. THESE WILL BE HIGH-POWERED 4-STROKE OR 2-STROKE LOOP-SCAVENGED ENGINES, EITHER DIESEL OR MULTI-FUEL. ONE MODEL OF WHICH CAN PRODUCE 750 HP, AND WEIGHS JUST 450 LB. DRY OR 550 LB. MARINIZED. IT IS 16" DIAMETER, THUS SMALL AS A TURBINE. IT CAN BE INSTALLED IN PLACES FAR TOO TIGHT FOR ANY OTHER ENGINE. THE CURRENT DYNA-CAM X-375 MODEL HAS BEEN INSTALLED IN A PIPER AIRCRAFT (4-PLACE) THEREBY PROVING ITS RELIABILITY AND DEPENDABILITY FOR CRITICAL APPLICATIONS.
