The PDT engine separates itself from all other designed engines
in that there is no other like it. The design is a configuration of several
principles making itself a hybrid of technologies in a rotary form. In a reciprocating
engine each cylinder develops a surge of power lasting 90-120 degrees of its
rotation in a 4cycle configuration. (Two cycles being less efficient.) A four
cycle needs to make 2 full rotations (or 720 degrees) before it can contribute
to the engines power supply again. That is equivalent to having a mechanical
duty cycle for each 12.5 – 16%. Static combustion also has always been
a great source of pollution developed from reciprocating engines. In order
to fill this gap in its duty cycle more cylinders are added producing extra
weight, also a need for fuel for those cylinders and volume for its accommodations.
The extras are very costly and fall into the engineering law of diminishing
returns.
Lg. Engine Jpeg
produced 130,000,000 Watts of power
Positive Displacement Turbine Engines have been designed with a duty cycle
of up to 370 degrees or 102% for each cylinder. This makes the need for extra
cylinders minimal, thereby, reducing the engineering law of diminishing returns.
Positive Displacement Turbine Engines are a rotary design.
Engine design engineers have for decades acknowledged the fact that the rotary
configuration is a superior concept but have not been able to overcome there
inherent problems with these various concepts, of heat dissipation, lubrication,
and sealing leakages. With the PDT design these problems have been solved
with unique but proven applications.
PDT Engine
Some Unique Applications for the PDT Engines are that they
would replace hands down engines like the Marine Diesel engine that holds
the record for being the largest is the Wartsila-Sulzer
RTA96-C. It is a turbo charged two stroke diesel engine. At 100,000 HP,
89 Ft Long, 44 Ft wide and weighing 2000 tons this massive expensive costs
is calculated into the price of doing business today and invariably the customer
pays.
A PDT Engine in comparison will look insignificant next to
those giants. Measuring roughly 25% their bulk and weight in comparison, they
develop a comparable or greater torque, higher RPMs and using less than 10%
of the fuel without the polluting emissions. The operating costs of a PDT
will be trivial when compared.
PDT Engine can with relative ease be produced in a 50 Megawatt
power range with similar characteristics. Advantages to this are that the
need for cooling towers and smoke stacks can be removed from the scene. The
single most dramatic difference that sets the PDT design concept apart is
that it consumes and converts 95-99% of its thermal energy into useful shaft
torque at any prescribed RPM. There will be virtually Zero exhaust heat signature!
