It was basically torn down in the workshop because the wood frame was rotten

>>16919680

let's combine our ideas

>>16919629
It probably wouldn't, the compression ratio would be so apeshit high for a gas motor that you probably couldn't even get it to run right on race gas. The big rotor in the rolls design is solely for generating compression to make the compression ignition work. You'd have to size down the big rotor a lot, and at that point you might as well just have one rotor because it's just needless complication for no benefit, and you'd have to replace twice as many apex seals just as often.

>>16919670
Weren't the chain drive systems directly off of one of Honda's motorcycles at the time? I thought that was just a byproduct of Honda being a motorcycle manufacturer venturing into one of their first cars at the time. The S800 did get a solid axle a few years later, in basically the same car.

Gravity Assisted Compression.

Not Subaru AWD since their engines are longitudinally mounted.

If your AWD torque distribution was controlled electronically via clutch packs for each wheel, you could technically set it up to be diagonal wheel drive. Not too far off from how older Subaru autotragics were, you could pull a fuse and it would disengage the clutch pack in the center diff, making it FWD.

>>16920873
Formula 1 already works like this, and uses an electric motor on the axle between the compressor and turbine. You can use it as a generator+wastegate when you have too much boost and use it to spool the turbo's with that harnessed energy when you're done.

Also go look up Rotrex's e-CVT compressors. It's basically this whole idea, but without the turbine.

>>16921998
But you won't get good compression then

>>16922007
there's an explosion on every stroke though

0WD, the car equivalent of a glider, designed to have extremely low air and rolling resistance. You get another car to tow it up to highway speeds, and then you glide down the highway, drafting other cars to maintain speed like glider pilots use thermals.
Then you pull over on the hard shoulder and get another tow

As a counterpart, 5WD, where the engine also drives the spare wheel, causing it to spin horizontally in the trunk, creating a gyroscopic effect which allows the car to remain upright on extreme slopes and banks

Exactly. Valve float is an issue but it's a solvable issue. Most push rod engines just have huge pistons moving very far, and that's the practical limit for RPM.

Stirling engines are great for generating electricity. It would be entirely possible to charge a separate battery for a car's auxillary system using the heat from the exhaust.

>12v outlet switches
A rocker switch on all, or at least some, 12V outlets in cars. 3 positions: Auto, Off, On. Auto would give power only when accessories are active. (standard equipment, obviously you can rig this up aftermarket)

>heated front window
Same as the rear, but some sort of clear or pseudo-invisible heating wire. Optional or aftermarket.

>cars with motorcycle engines
Honda and the like should just be doing this. Make a Miata but lighter, stick in a motorcycle engine with maybe a turbo, make a Toyobaru killer for relatively cheap. Replace weight and displacement with retarded revs, basically. Market it as an enthusiast car and the $10-15k mark and make it simple to maintain (parts easy to get at, share parts with the bike), shouldn't be hard with a tiny engine in a normal engine bay, that way reliability is relative.

>clutched crankshaft
Shut down cylinders completely. Could also be a different way to do hybrid drives (literally disconnect crank under electric power, push torque through the electric motor when the engine is on to use as generator). Also I have no idea how current hybrids work. Maybe they basically do this.

>>16922256
Cars do exist with bike engines. But they are often kei cars with a defined turbo 650 which are difficult to import due to having no safety standards. Look up a Suzuki cappuccino with turbo hayabusa engine 400hp easy on stock internals in a sub 700kg car

The issue is anything north of 800kg is just too much for the gearbox. It's designed for a 200kg bike

>>16922269
My expansion on that would be use literally just the engine. Mate the crankshaft to a conventional trans pulled from some little car in the company's inventory.

Basically the idea is: make an enthusiast car that's stripped out, light, makes good power, and is CHEAP. Using the moto engine in an existing small car (civic or smaller chassis) with a stupid-simple FR drivetrain would hopefully keep their costs down since they're just re-programming robots to mount existing components. The small moto engine means maintenance (which is generally harsher on a bike engine) isn't a huge deal for the market they're selling to; change oil more often, adjust valves, etc should be easy to do with all that space AND the company doesn't have to care about over-designing it.

>>16922280
It wouldn't be designed to go that fast; similar track performance to a Toyobaru, but less practical and like 1/2 the price. A DD-able caterham type machine.

>>16922233
I meant the CPU heatsink. Surely it can't cool a cpu sufficiently with its own heat.

>>16919673

>>16921080
Wew lad, look up the volvo S60, there is a version where it has the i6 mounted transverse

>>16922325

>>16922233
They are, but have really low power output and operate depending on the differential. The are amazing up until the point that they heat soak.

what mercedes currently uses essentially does the same thing as the bose system shown, except it uses hydraulic rather than electric actuators. It's not the only car with the same abilities either; the toyota soarer UZZ32 has pretty much the same system installed, as does the citroen xantia activa (an arguably more advanced system even, considering that it can also vary spring stiffness if necessary). The mercedes has the advantage of being able to read the road ahead, although those sensors only really work on clean roads and clean weather.

people have use the glasses at night but it can be a danger
what happens is that an oncoming high beam darkens them
but they take too long to go clear and mess with your ability to see in the dark afterwards

but their is an electrical version now
it just uses two layers of glass and a electro magnetic field to change the position of the filaments
and this change is quick
