Study the Compressed Air-Driven Tests of a Prototype TurbXTM Engine

In this thesis of existing thermodynamic cycles has developed piston engines exceeding 42% efficiency and open cycle gas turbine engines approaching 32% practical efficiency. A breakthrough engine concept has been invented by Dr. Michael Wilson and is called the TurbXTM engine. This is new engine and operating on the Atkinson cycle, it can theoretically increase the engine performance fuel economy and reduce emissions as compared to open cycle gas turbine. The TurbXâ„¢ engine apparatus a constant volume and continuous combustion process in rotating turbo-machinery. This is based on a theoretically ideal thermodynamic analysis; this original innovation will always have a higher thermal efficiency than a representative gas turbine at the same compression ratio. This particular concept has the intrinsic capability of easily varying the load through very simple controls The purpose of this thesis is to determine experimentally the non-fueled or "air driven" performance individuality of the prototype TurbXâ„¢ engine. The results of this thesis will be presented and discussed.
