- The guys at Liquid Piston Mounted The Liquid Piston Rotary Engine on the Go-Kart and ran it on Hydrogen for the 1st Time, proving that the Liquid Piston Rotary is well suited for Hydrogen.
I also show a clip of the see-thru Liquid Piston Rotary Running on Hydrogen in Slow Motion to see what is happening inside this new revolutionary Rotary Engine While it's running on Hydrogen and how it's so much different than the Wankel Rotary Engine.
I also show the original see-thru Mini Wankel Rotary that I built in Slow Motion for a comparision.
I cant wait to see where they go with the hydrogen-powered rotary, seeing as the only byproduct of burning hydrogen is air and water this is a fuel that just might carry us into the future, who knows but tell me what you think in the comments.

Sick😁👍
that made the video.
That was perfect editing

Epic!
That go kart had to be pushing at least 7 or 8 mph. It was a beast.
Just thinking that it may have almost no torque or maybe the torque converter needs to be tuned?
@@joshstevenson7833or that they just werent giving it the gas.
@@joshstevenson7833 this sh was disappointing as hell
@@huntaaa4 It's like a 70cc proof of concept lol
I love it... one's a triangle spinning in a peanut, the other is a peanut spinning in a triangle.
Amazing. If this ever somehow comes up in conversation, I'm using it. Well done.
Triple lobe vs single lobe. To do this properly for that much weight is think 2 x triple lobe. That'd give enough power for a motorised bike.
That's what I noticed too. Inverted geometry.
Its pretty cool how all they did was flip the Rotary Engine around to make the Liquid Piston Engine.
HAHAHA VERY FUNNEEEEE 😐😐😐😐😐

@@andie_pants i wouldn't want to crack the wall.
@@briankennedy5578 Exactly! That's why we need helmets. To protect delicate masonry work from our dense block heads. :-P
The engine cooling system is very impressive. Haven't seen anything like that before.
Thermal regeneration. Very elegant design.
@@thebunnisher109 simliar to the chrysler turbine car right, its exhaust was actually colder than piston engine
Where does he talk about the cooling system?
It looked like it was cooled by a server cooling fan.
Big cooling system = poor efficiency
That was rather anticlimactic 🤣
LiquidPiston as a company is anticlimactic lmfao
Coming from watching Cars and Cameras, yes. This felt like i was a little let down. ;)
From what i could see this engine only drives a generator. Bet they had to little juice stored on the battery for that first run.
The concept is interesting for sure but more work needs to be done here.
I wonder how large that engine will have to be to be able to move an ordinary sized passenger car...
Even when assisted by the electric motor that was pathetic.
Well with the engine only rated for 4 horsepower that was actually faster than I would think, lol
I still can’t quite wrap my head around how such a small engine can produce so much power. A conventional piston engine of similar overall size would be for large RC models, not a full size go kart. Granted, it’s not setting any speed records, but the fact it moves at all is seriously impressive.
If LiquidPiston plays their cards right, this could be a revolution
4 stroke piston engines needs 2 up and 2 down strokes to make 1 power. Whilst this thing, 1 rotation makes 3 power. 1:3 compared to 4:1. Factor in mechanical losses of the up and down losses for pistons.
a nitro rc is a 2 stroke .. so is a wankel .. the liquid piston fires 3 times in one revolution .
@@Y2daT420 1/3 stroke? Lol
isnt it a hybrid with an electric motor
@@dsid4evr yeah, but have you ever tried to drive a generator powerful enough to run a go kart by hand? You wouldn’t get ver far

@@WarpedPerception this engine need rusEFI ECU ..
@@Abricos4440 would need to be completely reprogrammed, it would have no idea how to hadle the timing of this engine.
Toyota has built a hydrogen racecar that is a direct burn in a piston engine.
exactly
and now we have rotaries getting into th hydrogen game too.
I just recently saw that in my feed
@@usmanhaider8490 Mazda has been experimenting with it for a long time.
In the late 80' BMW has been playing with piston hydrogen engines, notably their 5L V12, they were getting around 200 HP if I remember correctly
The Cinematography on your slow motion and timing with the music was absolutely outstanding!!! Mad props to the editor!!!
Thank you... The editor was me !
@@WarpedPerception i knew it, something just told me only the cinematographer could edit it that way, sick work
I remember reading about Mazda developing Hydrogen rotary back in early 2000's, but fuel tank was the sticking point.
The advantages of using pure hydrogen for motor fuels is amazing... It regenerates itself into it's original molecule after the burn & energy release... Hydrogen is the most plentiful single element, in existence... One of the problemwith pure Hydrogen
@@michaelmartinez1345 it's the most plentiful element in existence but it is not practical cost and energy wise to convert water into pure H2 gas. Plus you have to cool it down to liquid form to transport which requires a lot of work and money
Lets all be realistic how much displacement that little liquid piston engine was. Thats pretty good output vs displacement. Great video! Thanks for the different perspective on life!
For sure, its a tiny engine compared to gas powered engines. Give it a better transmission and itll go faster. Anything can be done with the right transmission. Look at tractor trailers pulling 70 tons on a V6 at 70 mph.
@@jamesbeer9886 those V6 tho has 10L+
let's see what this engine do on a 10l version, i think it will be very nice (+ it's clean, and waaaaay better than electric imo)
@@jamesbeer9886 never seen a tractor v6 diesel. But the name of that game is torque. These rotary's are said to have very poor torque output but that can be overcome by a multy speed close ratio transmission. This thing is go cart centrifugal clutch single speed I think.
@@joeKisonue Detroit Diesel made them.. although the 6V92 was used mostly in heavy duty trucks.
Food for thought: on same crankshaft, imagine a permanent magnet motor integrated into the shaft. So serves two purposes: 1 generating electricity like a a stanard alternator *OR* 2. Applying power to the electric motor to power assist the liquid piston motor and basically boost its output.
I said the same thing. Permanent magnets are the best, but apparently notoriously difficult to control (sync with the engine speeds).
Permanent magnet motors are higher efficiency motors, that are best used as a generator only. I believe Honda uses them. And have a cog that allows some of them to rotate at speeds of up to 18k rpm. They are much smaller in design than even the liquid piston.
Excess power can be stored in a battery. But all this will make the design unnecessarily complex and expensive.
A regenerative system like most electric cars use?
An inline motor would be regenerative like an alternator but instead apply voltage to it and now the shaft rotation/torque are improved. You are in that case helping spin the crank. Power booster. Now make this motor/alternater also be able to draw in air while rotating to boost fuel-air mix pressure and you have a motor booster, a pressure booster (al electric supercharger of sorts) and when not driven, you get alternator and furl intake pressure boost (supercharger effect...boost intake pressure)
@@massexodus5756 Question is, if an electric supercharger/turbo, is in any way better than a regular turbo.
Yes, it can be more instantaneously.
On the other hand, it also robs power from the engine, in a way that a regular turbo doesn't.
The exhaust back pressure losses from a turbo is much lower than any electric drain on the engine to push a turbo/supercharger, as the turbo/supercharger needs to be active all the time. (if it doesn't rotate, the engine will create a vacuum between itself and the turbo/supercharger). Meaning you'd get a constant energy drain.
As such, it will be more comparable to a supercharger, which always has worse fuel economy than a turbo.
The best thing to do, is get a permanent magnet generator, and an asynchronous motor, and a battery. The whole unit weighs more than a 4 stroke engine of 4x the size.
@@ProDigit80 my thoughts would all need proven out with an inline motor/generator/pressure-booster, i just think someone should look into the opportunity(s) i propose. Perhaps for example the amount of boost is limited say 2 psi boost or whatever. But it's a start. The next level for engine tech is a motor which has both electrical and combustion engines co-integrated. And along with that is a stack of devices inline with the crank that would perform say power steering, power brakes, water pump, etc.
The engine they made has the apex seals on the block or irons instead of the rotor itself so cool.
What about side sealing??
@@shannonneal3271 that moving oval piston has openings for intake that rotate closed like a valve during combustion per cylinder. As for the whole side outside the spinning portions it would be cast to not have one side and the other could simply have an outer gasket same as a head gasket on a 4 stroke.
@@alexmills1329 just looked at the website and see they've made a model plane and flown it, however it still has an electric notor attached.
I want to see this engine prooved to be running on its own without electric assistance.
Syncing the music to the engine rotation......that was satisfying.
Broooo that edit of the explosions with the song was amazing
Thank you
Sounds amazing and runs clean.
If this is the future I am so ready.
No. Big oil will have none of this....
This tech was buried in the 40's.
@@philup6274 "The oil companies control everything. Like, there's this guy who invented this car that runs on water, man. Its got a fiberglass, air-cooled, engine and it runs on WATER!"
- Steven Hyde
@@bradleyj.fortner2203 you can laugh now. There's a reason you pay 4,50$ a gal for petroleum. The joke is on you
It ain't the future.
You could use the electricity ti charge a battery and then power an electric motor at 90% efficiency.
Or you could use electricity to electrolyze water into hydrogen gas at a 50% efficiency at best, use more electricity to compress it so you can actually store it, use more electricity to get it to a filling station and then burn it in a combustion engine at maybe 40% efficiency.
So all in all you could drive somewhere in an EV or you can spend 6 times as much to drive to the same place in the same vehicle but this time it's powered by a combustion engine burning hydrogen.
@Gnome Whyte think about refueling time though
*_The editor made the music sync so good._*
Now that’s just TOO COOL 😎 I think it would go better with a transmission. I’m excited to see what more videos are coming out :)
they need to put a shifter kart transmission on it (aka a motorcycle transmission)
@@ryanmalin agreed
Electric engines don't need a "Transmission". They run on direct energy. You give it gas, so to speak, and it just goes. Electric engines have much more torque than piston driven engines because the power goes directly to the wheels and not to the wheels through a transmission.
@@williamrhea3535 its similar to like how a rc car is, you can manipulate the power like with gears. It can be possible to make just not with the use of a clutch.
well it didnt go anywhere@@williamrhea3535
That transparent side by side was perfect for understanding the difference between the two engines, thankyou
Definitely need that clutch right ,high as thoes rpms sound that thing should fly.
No tourqe
See thats the problem with hydrogen, it burns so fast there's a lot of woosh, but not a lot of umpf, just like the guy above said.
@@konrad7492 its like the opposite of diesel
@@ufarkingicehole lol more like the opposite of fast
It needs revs to make power lol
This ain’t a V8 bub
So Toyota sells a hydrogen Camry atm. Still cool gokart just needs refining.
Does that Camry have a rotary engine in it?
I think the hydrogen toyotas that aren't racecars don't use direct hydrogen combustion. It uses cells which create electric in a similar way to how electrolysis works. This creates electric also water as a waste product only. The charge created then drives electric motors
That's not an ICE based hydrogen car though.
Right, the Toyota Mirai is a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle.
@@etiennesc.x7 hydrogen isnt really the best for racing because water and slicks its worse for go kart slicks because you lose all traction on moisture
I love when the engine runs on beat with the music in slow-mo. Awesome.
Such a beautiful piece of engineering. Should this machine enter mass production, I would have one instantly!
I love how this sounds like a Triple cylinder motorcycle engine! The adaptability of fuels in this engine config is just brilliant. You can run it on Petrol, Vodka, H2 and even diesel. ❤
kinda felt like an ad this time
i wanna see you give it the beans
I understand it's very delicate and a one off, very important to not wreck it, etc. But dang, I was waiting for that thing to just spit hydrogen fireballs at like 10k RPM lol
The slow motion part timing with the music was amazing
This engine is amazing, has so much possibilities. Also it sounds awesome, I’ll be waiting for more videos of this engine!
I feel like that thing could use an $80 ebay CVT with half the weight taken out and be WAY more impressive. Yeah, it's the first step, but try to make it a normal looking step and not a tip-toe.
It will need another down gearing, but exactly this.
I think their website shows something like that.
Looks like the CVT that’s on there is on the wrong shafts if the motor is on the front pulley
Or should I say it looks like the rear pulley is on the front and the front pulley is on the rear
@@garymorel1882 It’s chain driven, so one gear. Presumably to compensate for the lack of torque. A CVT could be a great idea though
@@TheFakeFatLegitimate well it looks like a eBay series 40 but backwards in infact I built weird stuff too but I’d use a solid pulley on top being electric then use the secondary as it’s normally designed
Sweet! That thing could use a small gearbox with a slipper clutch. That’s definitely awesome!
At these sizes, they usually come with a friction belt transmission (cvt).
Much cheaper.
What a genius little motor! and now able to run on hydrogen! Welldone LiquidPiston - wish you all the success for the future! Thanks WP for a great video!
Amazing edit, the flames of the piston in slow motion with the song! Also great content!
The energy density in hydrogen is, well unbeatable for a chemical reaction and the waste products of the reaction are always clean. Cool thing is, you could fuel both direct combustion and electric generating hydrogen engines at the same station and the fill-up takes roughly the same amount of time as gas.
I really hope silly subsidies stop positively discriminating battery powered transportation and instead give chance to other clean alternatives, that don't have the many disadvantages of batteries.
Be aware that the fossil fuel industry is subsidised globally by $600 billion (6x10^11 US dollars) per year. Counting all of the indirect subsidies and benefits in kind, it adds up to around $3 trillion (3x10^12 US dollars) per year, globally. The subsidies on electric vehicles are tiny in comparison.
@@RWBHere
Go look at what's on the shop shelves and then imagine what their prices would be if the fuel that brought them there wasn't subsidized.
The same hydrogen station could fuel up a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle too.
Problem with hydrogen is it awfully expensive to produce and much harder to store. Companies don't like increasing their expenses
I have read of ways to make hydrogen inexpensively. They are developing ways to store it too.
Hydrogen + rotary = EPIC
LiquidPiston: Thanks for bringing it to life, serious potential. As an armchair enthusiast, I've had a very similar idea but obviously no way to bring it to life.
Warped Perception: Thanks for filming. The more publicly these alternative technologies are covered, the more likely they are to succeed. I'll be investigating the LiquidPiston further thanks to your content. 🙂👍
I love the elegant engineering to combat the typical detonation hot spot that wankle engines have (because of one combustion chamber) AND the geometry of the rotor itself to compensate for the difference in quenching distance for hydrogen.
Thank you for including the slow motion of this combustion process, amazing eye candy. [Perhaps consider an edit with gasoline comparison (acetylene was nice, but different visually than gasoline) to show the huge difference in flame speed and quench distance between the two fuel types?]
I'll be waiting with anticipation to see LiquidPiston's future iterations of this project and the potential for eventual improvement beyond petroleum.
BRAVO👏
Edit: subscribed and found the previous video "See Thru Liquid Piston Rotary
Engine - in Slow Motion" of this motor design running on gasoline. 👏👏)
The sound is just amazing!
Wow. Just wow. What a set up. Yet again with something new, innovative, and educational.
Good to see work continuing. In Australia we had the Sarich rotary engine, sadly never got to sort out the full burn level. Keep it up guys!
What 2 stroke oil did you run in that? I use nothing but amsoil interceptor in my rotaies.
@@jlo13800 Sarich is long gone. But on 2 stroke jetskis we use a full synthetic oil. It lubes perfectly without burning away and comes as oil out of the muffler.
That sounds like the EMD16-645 2 strokes on the boat i work on and the detroits also. oil comes out of the exhaust if there is not enough load on the engines.
Yes the rotaries use the same 2 stroke synthetic oil!
It may be slow, but it worked. That's where you learn. The belt clutch was possibly holding it back without the rpms needed. Tune the drive train I'd like to see more on it.
Timing the ignitions with the music.... Absolute legend
The music syny to the slowmo playback speed was absolutely on point. Bravo sir.
I think its great when people keep trying to innovate and make idea's that were once considered impossible in to a reality and actually making it,
Technology can be dangerous, but so can a piece of paper, all depends if you use it for the right reasons,
This is awesome thanks Liquid Piston and all at WP 🤘🏴👍

Jerry Seinfeld - “the helmet is wearing YOU for protection”
The sync between the piston fires and the song was 10/10
has to be the coolest thing ive seen since your see thru rotor motor
If they ever make these for normal vehicles like Mazdas then I could see them being less of an issue and more of a new kink for car enthusiast
HEll YEA I wanna see engines that sound good while being eco-friendly so that not all the cars on the road would be silent. Electrics are great but having these would be nice too.
God I just love your artistic editing style. Syncing the combustion with the music is beautiful.
Whatever you do is always impressive. Thanks so much.
I'm unsure of this liquid piston engine. They boast of how efficient it is, and how much pound for pound power it can produce, but every time I see one running there's always some electric motor involved, which is causing me to doubt it's actual output.
Precisely
I completely agree. This one doesn’t make much power and probably doesn’t have much torque either. It’s very small and impressive but i believe it should have done something different.
Yeah and the engine was at like 8000 to 10000 rpm wich is enuth to engage that chluch a 50ccm piston engine can do that
If they were touting this as the final product I'd be skeptical AF. This isn't even the prototype though... they're still in the R&D proof-of-concept stage.
@@andie_pants i do agree, however claiming an engine is "running" when it is possibly not and just being spun by a electric motor with fuel being thrown in to cause a few bangs would hardly be considered running or making power by any means. when i see one run unassisted by an electric motor ill be more open to the idea that this engine design is actually plausible.
Might be amazing to see thermal images of your see-thru engines.
Mad props for slowmo sync!
1:16 This very moment, when the motor and the song "Fire - ALIBI Music" meets the same beat. Love that !!!
Nice touch timing the firing to the music. I'm curious if the exhaust should point down instead of up for water evacuation. Back pressure from the fuel burn might have water collecting in the upward facing exhaust plumbing? 👍 😃
The water doesn't condense in the pipe, the reaction product is gaseous water (steam) and any cold start condensation will quickly boil off from exhaust temperature. Hydrogen runs really HOT. You can't play with the stoichiometric ratio of H2 to O2 as you can with liquid fuel and oxygen. If anything you have to run it oxygen rich to reduce power of the stroke. If you run it H2 rich, you'd have a constant flame from your exhaust(and melt the tip of the pipe) as any hydrogen left in the exhaust product will immediately react with the atmospheric oxygen.
That's insane! Really lets you believe rotaries aren't dead yet, and if they're getting it to run on Hydrogen... Ah, the possibilities!
Also can we take a moment to appreciate how good it sounds?
I'm very skeptical that hydrogen fuel will ever take off practically because it's just too hard to produce and store and is incredibly dangerous in the event of a tank breach. Thankfully this Liquid Piston engine can run on loads of different fuels. I've seen it run on propane, gasoline and diesel, as well as hydrogen now, so it is plenty flexible enough to remain relevant even if hydrogen doesn't take off
man I swear your so under rated this video deserved so much more Views!
Love that you’re getting into gokarts! I love gokarts as I’m a go kart racer! Thanks for this!!
Hmm, yes. Use a high pressure hydrogen tank as the rear bumper. Nothing wrong with that.
As if they're gonna crash at those speeds, come on

Very interesting video! Your content is very high quality. Greetings from austria!
Super Cool!!!! Thanks for sharing, She sounds like a 2-stroke chainsaw biting into a BIG log :)
I like how you synced the music with the engine. Very cool
I'm confused. How does the engine lubricates?
When it comes to Wankel rotaries (triangular rotors) oil is commonly added to the fuel which lubricates the rotor and apex seals then burns off during combustion, just like a 2 stroke engine you’d see in a line trimmer or chainsaw, but with the liquid piston, I have no idea. I only really understand liquid fueled systems, so I’m not sure about the gas either.
Since the seals aren't rotating, they could pump lube in through one side and out the other. With the see through plate provided by Warped Perception, this would have been ommited.
*_A new rotary invented engine with the future of fuel powered engines... This is crazy. Liquid Piston is doing amazing things!_* Hopefully this can be on a full sized car soon.
Probably not, it has way too little torque.
@@alexzanderroberts995 *_There are plenty of fully blown 2 rotor drag cars that run 6 seconds at the quarter LOL_* :c it's pretty crazy. Not allot of torque but the original rotary engines are crazy fast when modified. *I just wonder how the future will look for these new invented ones.*
@@rjaybruhh the issue is consistency, and reliable torque. You cant exactly tell my those cars are reliable. We dont exactly know the reliability of these engines yet, so I assume the apex seals tend to wear down.
Edit: I am not talking about future designs, as they will be better in every way, I am talking about this engine right here.
@@alexzanderroberts995 *_Trueee_*
1:34 i love the fact that the combustion is syncronized with the song 😂
That's a quite a Go Kart from my Go Kart I had 1958. It had a Clinton lawn mower motor and top speed was 30 MPH. I was 12 years old and I loved it.
The exhaust pipe they have running up is logically improper due to the fact that smoke rises and water falls. Water could build up in the manifold.
An engine running on gas or diesel produces water as a by product too. It comes out as steam and will just float off. A little might condense while the exhaust is cold, but it's really a non issue.
The water produced by burning hydrogen is in the form of vapor. It is only liquid water after it cools, long after it exits an exhaust pipe.
I thought Hydrogen powered internal combustion engine have a ridiculous yield compared to hydrogen cell.
Remember that hydrogen is like a battery, it needs electricity to be produced and we don't find it naturally like oil.
It's still cool tho and i'm not a fan of electric cars but i don't see the point of doing this exept the "because we can"
yes.. because we can... just a funny project,
hydrogen combustion wont make it to market, it has even worse efficiency than fuel combusiton.. and many other issues..
Imagine not being a fan of EV when it's already better than ICE, faster in motorsport, easier to work on, and is more fun to drive then ICE. You must be boring at parties.
@@Pyrcae thats what they said about EVs and cellphones, lol.
@@evolicious They are lame AF to drive, has no gearbox to play with, no clutch, no heels and toe, often more than 2 ton to move around and brake, all sound the same and you can't do a trip with it. They can be easier to work on IF the manufacturer let you so... Faster is not always better, you must be boring for your gf
@@evolicious so you truly believe that Hydrogen combustion market will be bigger than EV and todays fuel combustion ?
syncing the firing with the music was EPIC
That music in sync with the explosion awesome
You guys don’t know anything about go-carts clutches this was a bad example
Clutch what clutch just gas and stop
@@tony_5156 i think hes talking about the cvt
@@tony_5156 the CVT transmissions on go karts (the one seen here) has a built in clutch. However it is made to be used on gas engines so it engages at 2.5-3.5k rpms. This is way too low on this engine's torque generations curve.
I'd like to see your mini rotary on a weed eater.
I was thinking it would make for a mean chainsaw.
A rotary powered goat?
@@dass1333 that would be one "bAAAd" mamajama.
Fabulous video love the engine close ups
1:25 Beat synced to sparks, you definitely own your editor a beer for that pleasuring awesome nice edit!
Technology-wise quite impressive, performance was underwhelming. I know, I know, give it time to mature.
This is far more ground breaking than most can conceive. The liquid piston technology puts solar, wind, nuclear and fossil fuels in the rear view mirror
Yeah especial if you powered with ZPE! A pulsed plasma rotary 2 stroke anyone.
I need to see and hear a big version because that sounds so cool
This Engine should be promoted to be in our vehicles, as it is so simple, easy to maintain.
Nice work By Warp Perception.
"Here is how it's supposed to run"
Me: I could still run faster.
Making it a hybrid was unnecessary. Just coupling the engine to the tourqe converter would have been better. Over engineered and under performing.
Something tells me its fake.
Even when working, you can see the electric motor start to spin and propel the kart before the engine rev up.
That kart is moving on lipos, and we can't know how much it's the engine recharging them.But seems like even the engine is moved by the electric motor, at least at the low rpm range.
At this point, i need to see that engine working standalone, without even the dyno. You can see on the dyno footage that the engine is reved up before the ignition starts.
That thing is smelling worse on each video.
Sorry to all if I'm wrong, but they need to expect some skepticism and provide some proof like the engine working alone. They know it, and avoiding doing so seems suspicious.
i really hope I'm wrong.
@@xiro6 Yeah every time i see these engines they are connected to something that looks like an electric motor. I don't understand why it is never run just setting on a test stand without something connected to the output
@@xiro6 Nah you're right, it smells like many other investment scams. But even if it works, it's probably way too small to power things any other way, or they can't get it to run at a lower RPM. Cool little thing, but I'd bet they're greatly exaggerating the power it makes. Hopefully I'm wrong, but it's just too much like every other bunch of bull for me to trust it yet.
@@glennmagnus854 My guess is that when they are connected to an electric motor, then they can run at the best rpm for peak efficiency at all time and waste less power to heat. It's the very reason the Wankel rotary was considered by Mazda as a range extender for their electric vehicles.
@@xiro6 I've read some of the papers from MIT. Impressive. Especially with the targeted (and almost) 26:1 compression ration. They like it.
Quite an accomplishment. More, please.
Matching the fire music to the firing order 🔥🙌🏽 epic
If that thing made any power at all, even 5 hp, it wouldn't need an electric motor. You don't prove the concept of your engine by combining it with another power source to get some work done. Not promising. Haven't they been working on this thing for a while?
yeah seems pretty bullshit to me... anyone can strap a garden gas power generator to a battery and electric motor and call it a hybrid... they just did that with a hydrogen tank but it doesn't even need flame, it would do the same damn thing on the 500psi of pressure alone!
I think Hydrogen is simply too dangerous to carry around in a race car/kart. One crash, one puncture, and you take out half the circuit. There's a reason it never has been seriously considered for use in motorsports.
That was comically underwhelming. A climax of disappointment. Haha
What's disappointing about this? It's a freaking hydrogen rotary powered go kart!

Reminds me of an oil sump impeller. Ovoid shape. Three ignitions per revolution jacks the power significantly. Edit: I'm glad they're not afraid to test and put it out in public view. Great video.
The mini x engine is only a 70 cc! After some tuning on that go-kart, I'll bet it could get with it! Warped Perception, you are freaking amazing helping to cover such an awesome engine! I am very thankful for you otherwise I may have not heard of this engine for a long time.
If that engine is really 70cc swept equivalent then you're looking at 8hp on petrol - I've a piped stratified charge 32cc that'll do 3.5/4hp.
My new fav channel!
Cool video. Important 1st step for them. I think they have a long way to go. I like the liquid piston concept, refined it should do pretty good.
Impressive. Here in Brazil we use ethanol a lot. And perhaps could work in these nice engine. Great video! Congrats!
This is beyond amazing
