NELSON / TYWA Announces Breakthrough Engine Technology

PRINCETON, N.C., July 11 -- The NELSON FLYWHEEL POWER PLANT is an entirely new class of engine technology and is being patented worldwide.

Improved fuel mileage and Zero Toxic and Particulate Emissions are the goals that will win acceptance of the general car buying public, but only when they become economically realistic.

Hybrids, electric cars in their many variations and fuel cells are far from economic reality.

The NELSON engine surpasses all these concepts with complete combustion and extraordinary expansion of products of combustion.

Operating in a single cycle, requiring no compression, it converts expanding products of combustion to rotating kinetic energy, accumulating and storing unused torque in every cycle, eliminating the piston / crankshaft and all the incumbent mechanics they require.

What is placed in rotation is the dead weight of the engine in the conventional vehicle. For example, the engine for a car requiring 200 foot pounds of torque would weigh approximately 300 pounds. When this mass is rotating at 2,000 RPMs it has stored energy of over 200,000 foot pounds that can be utilized at any predetermined torque requirement. Each firing cycle generates over 5.000 foot pounds of torque.

The economy to manufacture, operate and maintain the NELSON FLYWHEEL POWER PLANT, and its uncomplicated compactness makes it ideal not only for existing vehicle designs of every size but to retrofit many of the 200 million registered vehicles and heavy equipment in the United States alone.

Steroid for muscle cars. While the serious environmentalists and mileage conscious car buyers will appreciate and readily accept this innovation, when the true engine enthusiasts, from shade tree mechanics to racing professionals apply their admirable, compulsive tweaking and modifying, we will see all motor sports, from street rods to NASCAR and formula racing redefined.

ABOUT NELSON / TYWA POWER CORP.

The company was incorporated in 2001 to develop and commercialize patents, existing and pending, in the fields of heavy construction and mining equipment, construction tools and energy efficient engine technology. NELSON / TYWA invites inquiries from OEM engine manufacturers, their suppliers and users.

Awaiting more details.

A little light on details, but some older airplane engines function on a generally similar philosophy--the crank is what is mounted to the plane, and the whole eninge spins around it. 5, 7, 9 cylinders, radiating fromt he crank. Kinda weird. Learned it a Pearson Air Museum, across the Columbia from Portland in Vancouver, WA.
 
I'll believe it when I see it. At least give me a diagram, not a crap-ass website with horrible images of a piston engine.
 
To tell you the truth, i am skeptical of it also, but then again, if you had an idea that was as "revolutionary" as this thing claims to be, would you go off showing the world before the patents were approved?
 
Yeah, I really wish there was a diagram, but I can see why they didn't provide one. I just can't picture anything, except a big block of metal rotating rather violently around a crankshaft.
 
was this like that new rotary engine or something?

if i remember, that one rotated similarly to how a quarter moved at the end of a spin.
