StockGuru Blog: Rotoblock – Oscillating Piston Engine; What’s So Special About the OPE Design?

Rotoblock Corp. — ROTB Stock Guru Profile ROTBRotoblock Corporation’s Oscillating Piston Engine (Link here for image of OPE) Remember the anagram: Keep It Simple Stupid? KISS? Rotoblock has decided to CASE – Create A Simple Engine and KISS – Keep It Simply Serviceable! The patented Oscillating Piston Engine technology (OPE) is a new form of internal combustion engine designed to meet the need for smaller, more efficient internal combustion engines for world markets. The price of gasoline has spurred the growth of the small car. The OPE has three advantages: The Oscillating Piston Engine Technology (OPE) 1. Versatile Engine Simple and Easy to Repair; 2. Versatile in its Use and Application; 3. Environmentally Friendly; We will take a superficial look at these advantages individually. For those who are serious engine types link here for greater detail on this simple, component oriented engine. The OPE patented internal combustion engine is different from a conventional reciprocating engine. It uses four pairs of pistons. Each of these eight pistons is alternately attached, through two oppositely rotating adjacent discs, to two coaxial drive shafts extending from the center of one face of the cylinder block. After this the explanation gets really complicated so link here if you are an engineer or understand engines: OPE. The endless repetition of these four combustion cycles produces sixteen power strokes for each revolution of the cylinder block. Momentum stored in the inertial mass of the rotating cylinder block substitutes for the action of the flywheel found in conventional reciprocating engine designs. Simplicity of Design, Assembly and Repair The OPE engine is comprised of four major mechanical sub-assemblies. Each sub-assembly can be easily removed from the engine, allowing for rapid factory assembly and easy replacement or field servicing. Rotoblock believe this feature will permit the engine to be totally field maintainable, to the degree that a major overhaul should be able to be completed by a qualified mechanic using only conventional hand tools in just a few hours. The simple design of the engine should help reduce the costs of manufacturing because of the reduced parts count. Fewer moving parts creates reduced frictional losses, which if proven in testing, could lead to increased reliability, improved performance and longer engine life. As is typical with mechanical systems, simplicity is the key to a successful design. So the elimination of a valve train and liquid cooling system components in the oscillating piston engine design should lessen the engine’s complexity, which could further reduce costs to achieve overall engine efficiency. The OPE engine uses standardized components, common to the industry, wherever possible. Versatility of Use The OPE engine’s extreme horsepower to weight ratio could lend to the specialized requirements of many recreational vehicles and portable power tools. Engines in the range of several hundred to several thousand horsepower are employed to power electric generators, pumps and compressors and the OPE has the potential to work in these products. Environmental Impact The OPE design is totally valve-less. So there are no moving intake or exhaust valves to limit combustion temperature, as with typical internal combustion engines. The result is an increased efficiency when used with gasoline or similar hydrocarbon fuels. Carnot cycle efficiency is the ratio of the output work to the input heat. Leaner mixture and higher combustion temperature promotes more complete oxidation of the burning fuel, which would reduce carbon monoxide emission, while increasing efficiency and reducing fuel consumption for a given equivalent power output. While there is no guarantee Rotoblock will be successful in developing an operational engine on this basis, Rotoblock will attempt to make the engine’s environmental impact minimal.
