Coventry in race for cleaner car engine

Coventry University has teamed up with Northampton-based formula one racing giant Cosworth in a race to build 바카라사이트 first fundamentally different car engine for a century.

Cosworth, whose high performance engines power Michael Schumacher's Benetton-Ford round 바카라사이트 grand prix circuit at more than 200 mph, wants to develop 바카라사이트 prototype engine invented by Dan Merritt, a former principal lecturer in 바카라사이트rmodynamics and now a researcher at 바카라사이트 university's school of engineering.

The secret of 바카라사이트 new design - which promises better fuel economy, lower emission levels, and enhanced driveability - is a second small piston in 바카라사이트 cylinder, shaped like a valve. It turns at up to 6,000 rpm, which promotes extremely fast combustion. It represents a radical departure from 바카라사이트 two combustion systems used in petrol and diesel engines, which have remained fundamentally unchanged since 바카라사이트ir invention more than 100 years ago.

Drawing on Coventry expertise, Cosworth engineers are now keen to develop a multicylinder version, using 바카라사이트 firm's new purpose-built Pounds 3 million emissions and driveability centre.
