The SCUDERI™ Engine's innovative
split-cycle design drastically
Increases Power
and
Decreases Engine Size
while at the same time
Reducing Fuel
Consumption Rate.

Key Features
•Scuderi-Cycle combustion process—fires after top dead center
•One combustion cycle per crankshaft revolution
•Heat release optimally phased with peak power location
•Fully variable intake and exhaust valves
•Outwardly opening Crossover Passage valves
•High geometric compression and expansion ratios


Independent laboratory results confirm that the Scuderi Engine has unusually fast and robust combustion; has a diesel like, flat torque curve; is highly knock resistant; produces less NOx than conventional internal combustion engines and is ideally suited for air hybridization.

The Air-Hybrid System


Unlike electric hybrids that use recovered kinetic energy to charge high-voltage batteries, our Air-Hybrid system uses kinetic energy to charge an air storage tank.


Key Benefits
•Low cost and light weight—only requires an air storage tank and controls
•High power density
•Efficiently converts kinetic energy to high-pressure compressed air energy
•High speed charge and discharge of stored energy
Sounds interesting to me.
