Hi All,
I would like to explain why the ratchet engine is made for all types of energy like HHO.
HHO has two important facts, a explosion and implosion effect.
HHO burn at a rate of 4400m/s, this is to fast for slow burning fuels like gasoline.
HHO also has oxygen in the mix, so why would you need more air/oxygen from the intake. This is also why you need so much HHO due to improper mixture of added oxygen.
This is just one possibilities of the ratchet engine.

Hi Tom
Thank you for upload. Ratchet engine is also much more efficient than conventional crankshaft engine and is perfect for any fuel/energy. This is what I am thinking about lately. You can avoid the "dead point" when the piston attacks flywheel from the top and when it is hard to turn a shaft. Conventional engine probably loses lots of energy at this short period of time, which is turned into heat. There are also other solutions. The attached pictures show everything. The upper wheel above piston is a ratchet output wheel, the crankshaft is used only to bring piston to initial position.
Hi Rafael,
This is a test showing HHO could be used in the ratchet design.

Good stuff...
Just few thoughts about ratchet mechanisms. The most popular we can find around are bicycle rear hubs. There are generally two types of it;
1. rollers + friction mechanism - found in most of Torpedo hubs
2. pawls + gear mechanism - the most popular, found in racing, MTB, touring bikes
If we dispose a short vector of motion on the input of system or the length of movement varies it is better to use first type of mechanism. It clutches immediately after force appears so we don't loose our energy/time waiting until gear reaches a pawl as it is in the second type of hubs. In these free hubs there are usually 20 teeth. 360' / 20 = 18 degrees, which is in most cases too much.
