I agree with mikeyjd, a video of the actual car/engine would be better. If you can record sound why not video, lets see the motor up close and personal running.

One thing I would like to know.

At 65 mph getting 138 mpg average. How many lbs/hr of E85 fuel are you using

No motor only animation ? easy to live up to its claims in cartoon land.

I will go draw up a Super electromagnetic collider powered train and post back my groundbreaking "theory".

Business partners or investors will be Welcome !


This idea is My property alone , anyone caught misusing the rights will be punished to the Full degree of the law
also ridiculed.

Okay, so your engine deactivates cylinders, has electro magnets in the cylinders and has a built in system so the crankshaft acts like an electric motor. I'm left with a lot of questions...

When is the electric crankshaft motor adding power? With a V-8, I wouldn't think you'd need any assistance in reaching 400 hp. Does the test car use a battery pack or is this motor generating that much energy and not storing it? If the motor is making that much energy, doesn't that use valuable E85 power just to spin a generator/alternator? It takes energy to make electricity, so how much fuel is used just to power the electric motor crankshaft? Isn't this the same argument as HHO systems? In real applications, it would take a large amount of electricity to generate an ample amount of hydrogen, which would end up making the engine use way more fuel? How much torque can your electric motor crankshaft deliver?

How do the magnets work? Do they pull and then push the piston down? I am assuming the pistons have a piece of iron in them or an electromagnet of some sort. Does that add a lot of weight to the rotating mass of the engine? Is this used in conjunction with the electric crankshaft motor, like running both at the same time?

During the cylinder deactivation, are the valves opening to allow the rotating mass to spin freely or do the valves stay shut? During cylinder deactivation, are the cylinder magnets running and is the crankshaft electric motor running? Can one cylinder effectively push the vehicle along and generate enough electricity to power the magnets/motor?

Do you have any pictures of this engine? I'd like to see what you have aside from an animated Youtube video. It’s patented, so would it hurt to show us a few pics of the crankshaft and cylinder magnets??

Excuse me for not reading the patent, but wouldn't all that stuff have to be in there? - in detail?

Seems like there's some "press" on this thing from the videos that came up. The guy with the English accent lends credibility, doesn't he?

No. Mr. Bean had an English accent and one of his most significant car-related accomplishments was turning them over, riding on the roof, etc.

The patent uses a lot of big words (not that I am dumb, but I don't speak legal very well...) and is pretty tough to follow. I was hoping for a simple explanation and some pictures...

I too would like more information on Doug's engine technology.

To start out I would love to have a conversation on this forum about his "Skip Fire" idea. It would be great to know some real basic fuel, heat, and air numbers?

Then after that we could talk about his internal electromagnetic engine idea.

If Doug wants to get respect on this forum "the largest fuel economy forum in the world" then he will have to use real Science and Physics to explain himself? So far in all of Doug's video's, it sounds more like a campaign/plug for $$$ to his untested second-party cause. Doug uses a lot of conspiracy catch phrases and words, trying to get people to believe in his idea. "The Auto makers are Bad, Gasoline is dirty, Big Oil company's Bad, people need jobs" etc. This makes people believe in Doug because it what the people want to hear. On this forum we want real numbers, real facts!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You might keep in mind that this site has people who have demonstrated better than 30MPG from a stock full size pickup truck driven on public roads. If you really had an engine that worked, and that engine was in a real car, there are several people on this site who would be more than happy to test drive it and publish the results. You can weld the hood shut if you want.

On the other hand, if you want to convince us that you are still a windbag, you can obfuscate and change the subject.
I live in Northwest Ohio. I'd be happy to test drive. Or just show you a REAL fuel efficient Mustang.

GAH! When luring someone into a trap, never give it up! First provoke for them to say "Yes, it's running in a car!" and THEN, call the bluff and ask for image/video.

When they read this, the immediate thought is "Oh, no, the final design isn't quite ready..."

rather than

"Oh yea, she runs great!" - "Let's see it!" - "Uhh..."

I look forward to losing next year at the GGP, Doug.
