Gun-engine as efficient as Carnot ideal engine

[vlad]

Submitted by Anon to the Main Page: Diesel as well as Otto engine are very crude primitive energy converting devices, the design of which hides inefficiency causes handed down from generation to generation of engines since Otto patented first four stroke combustion engine.

The causes relate rather to poor design than details, thus are difficult to spot so for over century long history of development of combustion engines there has not been a single researcher who would precisely identify what prevents combustion engines from efficient operation. The lack of identification of the flaws in design does not help to eliminate the causes of inefficiency, thus engines are less inefficient today than in 1913 when Sultzer presented his first diesel engine that was not welcome and very criticized.

Actually Sultzer was the only one that had spotted the major cause of inefficiency, which is incomplete expansion of exhausts, because the exhausts when expanding produce useful work and cool down. To improve efficiency Sultzer introduced long crank that doubled stroke doubling the expansion, thus his 1913 prototype had doubled the efficiency to 46.3%.

Is there any other method to improve expansion?
Researchers backed with $billions and fancy laboratories failed to find any better way to improve expansion, but an old man without any experience or education in the field of engines found it. He just noticed that his hunting rifle resembles engine as barrel resembles cylinder, bullet resembles piston...only crankshaft was missing. Therefore he elongated the cylinder with imaginary barrel of a gun and invented a new engine that he had named "gun-engine".

To prove his invention the senior citizen converted a small three cylinder Suzuki engine into gun-engine technology. As convert detonates vaporized or gaseous fuels, which yields about 14 times higher pressure than max allowed in the Suzuki cylinder, the inventor limited fuel supply to only 10% of that recommended by Suzuki manual. Nonetheless the power output was measured 40% higher than the max power of the original Suzuki that was fully fueled, which indicates max possible efficiency.

The inventor tested his invention for two years and after he disassembled the convert. The internal parts were as shiny as new! No traces of black engine deposits were there and no deterioration of surfaces.
