Howdy from Virginia
Been lurking for a while, and a member of some other forums.
58 years old, retired mechanic and body repair man from 1969 to 1999. Small repair shop owner.
I drive a 2001 Toyota Echo and a 2002 Honda Insight CVT.
53 MPG average in the Echo (last 7 tanks)
65 MPG in the Insight (since 12-08)
Been working on a couple of things for the last 10 years. One is a variable displacement, variable compression, non reciprocating rotary engine, that can be compression ignition and multi fuel capable.
The second is an in wheel rotary variable displacement Infinitely Variable transmission for hydraulic hybrid vehicles. Reverse, regeneration and infinite ratios are all combined in a single external adjustment.
Totally compatible with any current ABS or traction Control systems.
I will post the patent number soon. The patent has passed the test of novelty with initial approval of 5 of the 6 claims. Some technical errors by the attorney in the application will be corrected before the actual Patent document is issued.
regards
Mech
