A fresh look at the Clem motor

[TommeyReed]

aussiebattler,

So this is your theory and claim this is Richard Clem design?

Question: where do you expect to get 400+ psi from?

A torque converter is not a pump, transmission need hydraulic pump to move the fluid through the torque converter inner ports. The torque converter is fluid connection, nothing else.

Since you question the mathematics and talked about physics, how do you expect to generate power output?

Here is one of my old videos, showing no pressure is created in the torque converter.

The only reason in this test the pressure drop is do to the centrifugal force canceling out a portion of the pump needed to get it running in the first place.

But as it increase in speed, thrust decease also, where do you expect to get a phase change from?

The real reason Richard Clem used cooking oil is due to the high flash point it has. He did in fact use a few hydraulic pumps in his design, this how he was able to get these high temperature and pressure

Keelnet and the founder Jerry Decker, didn't really know how it worked. Even the cone screw design wasn't correct.

Until you get your hands dirty and experiment with real world of physics, you're drawing is just that; nothing and is a insult to those who build stuff.

Thank you for your kind words Tommy. I hope to see one of your devices operating soon as well.
Attached is one of my hand dirtiers showing one vane causing the high pressurs and temp.
thanks for your interest.

aussiebattler,

For those who claim how the Clem engine worked and put simple drawings and paste others to explain their theories, should not be taken as facts.

What is a expert in a field?

Someone who has built many prototypes, or someone who draws picture?

Maybe you can get your hands dirty, instead of explaining a theory.

Too many people on these forums that talk, draw and build nothing!

Experiments always trumps theories!

I suggest you start with a water wheel, it much better then a drawing!

aussiebattler,

This is my experience in working prototype, your design needs hp/rpm's to create pressure. The pressure produce is not free and the output is far less due to the factor of rpm's input vs thrust velocity output.

No different then a centrifugal pump, it take lots of energy to move fluids no matter if it's a volume of water or high pressure of water.

Just look at a pressure washer, do you think your design will create 500-4000 psi? The reason these pumps are pistons instead of centrifugal force impeller is due to amount of force a piston can push the water outward.

Clem engine used 7 stage( could be 7 pistons) hydraulic piston pump for a reason high pressure,temperature and lubrication. This also create the high temperature in the cooking oil, the reason he used cooking oil is the high flash point instead of oils. It is possible that injecting water into the high temperature cooking oil that created a phase change effect. Something I haven't done yet.

I will give you credit of starting to experiment, that's a plus. The question is do you think you're going to create enough pressure to over come input power?

I think this will be a good learning process to start with.

The principals involved here relate to the "venturi effect"

When reduced, yes. The vortices can be described by Inviscid fluid dynamics.
