Split-cycle engine
Appearance
The Scuderi Split Cycle Engine is a design of internal combustion engine invented by Carmelo J. Scuderi. The Scuderi group who own the patents on the design, claim that computer simulations of the engine show promising gains in efficiency and reduced toxic emissions over conventional four-stroke Otto cycle designs. The group also claim it could be used as part of an air hybrid system.
As of April 2007 no working prototypes of the engine exist.
