Tommey Reed's Liquid Piston Test Chamber.

[TommeyReed]

Hi All,

I've have been working one a new type of engine design using fluids to replace basic IC engine. This is based on the research I did on the Clem engine prototyping and testing.

What if we using fluid as a liquid piston being pump upward in to a combustion chamber with air and any type of fuel?

Dealing with Charles Law, we know temperature is very imported in and type of combustion. So the liquid would have to heat up to get more efficiency.

The high efficiency and output would be greater then any IC today, due to the fact liquid is being force downward to either a turbine or even a propulsion water jet system.

We all seen water rockets, but most people don't realize the true output of the thrust when compress air is forcing the water outward.

The water rocket basic math is :1.57*psi*dia*dia. In other words the thrust of a 1/4 diameter jet at 120 psi would produce 1.57*120psi*.25*.25= 11.775 lb of force.
Now imagine having 2" diameter jet with 2000+psi:  1.57*2000*2*2= 12,560lb of thrust at peek pressure.

This is the future of engines!

This is a basic test chamber I will be building.

Hi All,

I just got back home and will start working on this combustion chamber tester. I was able to find a small over head valve to build this test chamber that will allow fluid to be pumped into a air chamber and explode like a water rocket.

If this works, it would be a new type of engine I call a fluid piston engine that has no crank shaft or pistons.

Hi All,

New update of this liquid piston build.

Intriguing concept!
My first thoughts:
You lose the flywheel-like behaviour of solid pistons. With the liquid piston, you have a water hammer with inlet and exhaust strokes. The water rocket is great in that it has one long exhaust stroke.
Spark and combustion timing will be interesting with the variable water volume shifted.

Effectively this solution is competing with a pump from say, a jet ski drivetrain?

YEAH BACK TO THE FUTURE PAST.
