The D-Cycle is a piston innovation that can be designed into existing engines, resulting in higher efficiency, lower emissions, and higher power output as verified by various OEMs.
About
The D-Cycle Piston is a new technology that can be designed into existing engine architectures so that they to perform all four strokes of the combustion cycle in a single crankshaft revolution. This results in an increase in fuel efficiency of 20%, increased power of 30%, reduced emissions of 30% and a decrease in noise, as independently verified by OEM pilot.
Key Benefits
The D-Cycle piston is only a component level change to existing engines that results in major improvements to engine performance. As verified by multiple pilots and retrofit prototypes, the benefits are numerous: - fuel efficiency is increased by 20% - power is increased by as much as of 30% - emissions are reduced by 30% - noise is reduced by 30%
Applications
The D-Cycle has wide technological and geographic applicability. The most obvious initial choices are applications that require work to be performed such as earth moving equipment, power generation and trucking. However, the D-Cycle can be designed into nearly any reciprocating piston engine providing vast value to the patents.
