A fresh look at the Clem motor

Tommy
Had you considered where the enrgy came from and how to utilise it?

Hi aussiebattler,

After years of testing all kinds of designs, I fully understand how the Clem engine would have to work.

Fact 1) Using cooking oil.
Fact 2) Heat exchanger is needed to keep the temperature around 300deg to prevent over heating.
Fact 3) Hydraulic pump was used to get high pressure fluid moving.
Fact 4) A combustion chamber was added to increase pressure as the cooking oil exploded in the system known as a diesel effect.
Fact 5) Cavitation bubbles or air was added to the fuel.
In other words, this was a diesel (cooking oil) fluid turbine engine. Just like a diesel engine injects fuel into a high compression/heat chamber, it reacts with air.

The thrust must have been in the thousands of psi to get 350hp.

Notwithstanding your operating concept Tommey where do you get the energy to supply so much output and cause so much heat as well? Are you suggesting that the cooking oil is fuel (as this was against Clem's concept of no oil being used up)

Hi aussiebattler,

Yes, it was the most efficient way to run a engine using cooking oil.

You can't compare it to a IC engine, due to the fact having a combustion 3000+psi pushing the single piston downward to fill the displacement beyond the volume of one single stroke.

If you have fluid coming out of a orifice of 1" diameter ID at 3000 psi, this is not air but fluid that deals with water rocket math. The total force is 1.57*psi*d*d= 4710lb of thrust.

The velocity is just as important \/(32+32*(3000psi*0.434) = 204ft/sec.

for a rotor size of 24"*pi=6.28ft, 204/6.28 * 60 = 1949 rpm's.

Lets say if this was a constant the hp = 1949rpm's*4710lb thrust/5252=1747hp per-minute...

Just show how powerful 3000 psi can be. This moved a lot of fluid to generate 350hp...

I have discover instead of using rim jets, you can modified the system to rotate a hydraulic rotary vane motor.

Developing a different type of diesel engine is not replicating the Clem
