The turbocharged concept allows reaching engine speeds of 6,000 rpm, with a high indicated efficiency of 45% along with clean combustion; power density at 6,000 rpm is 64 kW, with 300 kPa intake pressure. Thus the HCPC range can extend to all engine operating conditions, including very high loads. Tamagna, D., Gentili, R.

The Pulstar product offers very high power spark discharge, on the order of 1MW, to accelerate combustion pressures enabling forced semi-homogeneous combustion for all conditions. HCCI is a combustion regime in which well-mixed fuel, exhaust gas and air are compressed to the point of auto-ignition.

The engine can be adapted to run any combustible gas or liquid as fuel. Advanced Engine Technologies was incorporated in 1996 to commercialize the OX2, with automotive racing pioneer Carroll Shelby on its Board of Directors and involved in the engine development.

The Scuderi Engine is a split-cycle design that divides the four strokes of a conventional combustion cycle over two paired cylinders. Intake air is compressed in the compression cylinder and transferred to the power cylinder for combustion. a more efficient internal combustion engine. Earlier post.).

A German company, vv-tec GmbH , is developing a compact piston-driven turbine—the Reinhardt Turbine, named after its inventor—that it says is a two-cycle (gas and steam) thermodynamic process machine that can be built with conventional components and can achieve efficiency of at least 60%. The engine components are contained within a sphere.

Compound HPE is divided into a compressor cylinder and a power cylinder, combined with a compressed air storage tank. It compresses the pressurized gas produced by exhaust gas turbocharger, comprising fresh air and exhaust gas introduced from the EGR valve. Then it charges the compressed air storage tank.
