“The potential for grid-connected vehicles to decimate our demand for liquid hydrocarbon fuels should be clear.

Libralato Engine Phases
A high quality Pro-Engineer model of the engine has been produced, from which prototype engines can be machined. The figure below shows 2D pictures of the model, illustrating key points in the Libralato engine’s unique thermodynamic cycle.
