Mar 5, 2007 - The video doesn't show how incredible this new engine is, and cuts just when it gets to the interesting part, but all the information can be found, in detail, on the website. Check it out.

Mar 28, 2007 - Wich website, can you give us a URL?

May 9, 2007 - canadian torque :P

Garocheux Says:

May 9, 2007 - Look up "quasiturbine" on google. Apparently, I can't put up the address here.

May 26, 2007 - Problem is so far they didnt show tests of real ICE versions so far, and i doubt they manufactured yet any. All of the videos just show compressed air engines.

Garocheux Says:

May 28, 2007 - Nom they haven't manufactured any yet. Since it comes from Quebec, and not the US, they don't have gazillions of dollars for development, so progress is slow. The vid is only air-compressed, yes, but other models exist. They are focusing on air compression to reach that 0-pollution target.

May 31, 2007 - will be better than the wankel. ive heard theyve made a gocart using gas version on the quasi.

Garocheux Says:

Jun 1, 2007 - true. still because it is in development. that was about a year or two ago. check out their website for more news.

Jun 21, 2007 - "A prototype of an internal combustion engine to this design was constructed, and enthusiastically reviewed in European Automotive Design magazine September, 1999. The prototype was turned by an external engine for 40 hours." OTOH the HCCI approach is very interesiting.

Jul 25, 2007 - how are they going to prevent blow-by during detonation with such a big area on the side? Wankel has a spindle shape and does not have a flat surface on the inside of gas chamber like this one.

Garocheux Says:

Jul 26, 2007 - All the info you require should be on their website. I am not an engineer myself so I can't answer for you. I think the answer is in the section called "Theory; wankel differences." Here's a link. "h t t p:/ / quasiturbine . promci . qc . ca/ ETheoryQTVersusWankel . htm"

Garocheux Says:

Jul 26, 2007 - Oh, and you can see more videos on their website of the engine in movement. I'll upload them on here when I have more time.

SteffanLlwyd Says:

Aug 25, 2007 - The Quasiturbine is the coolest engine I have ever come across. Even neater than a Wankle, because the rotative part is a FLEXIBLE parrallelogram, not a fixed, three-faced rotor. In steam mode, unlike a steam turbine, it gives high torque at low revs. I think it would be ideal for an HP steam locomptive. Would the people behind the 'ACE' proposal care to think about this?

Garocheux Says:

Oct 17, 2007 - Will do. Btw, I'm still working on those English subtitles in my free time. It will be on the second video which explains "all" and originally directed me to the quasiturbine.

Oct 28, 2007 - Cé vraiment cool comme invention! Bien que la vidéo soit de mauvaise qualité... Un inventeur Québécois, pas un États-Unien!

Garocheux Says:

Oct 29, 2007 - Mets-en! Mais c'est le seul vidéo que j'ai trouvé a part de celui sur lequel je travaille (entrevue à Découverte).

Apr 5, 2008 - No, the go kart used compressed air.

Apr 5, 2008 - When do we get to see a real internal combustion quasiturbine powering a car?

SteldokraV Says:

May 13, 2008 - when someone takes control of the monopoly that is the oil industry

mattmorr Says:

Jun 10, 2008 - The quasiturbine is patented, no one wants to pay royalties. Maybe when the patent expires we will see more of them.

Devast8ion Says:

Jun 25, 2008 - Very cool technology. Terrible name.

ilgalane Says:

Jul 1, 2008 - muy bien!!! la cuasiturbina en cuanto (psi)trabaja??y cuanto galones de aire almacenas en los tanques>>??cuanto tiempo dura la carga de aire comprimido?que sistema de ley usas?? muchas gracias!! y me parece que es buen proyecto!!! felicidades!!
