Libralato technology
The Libralato R6 eco-engine is based on a completely new concept of engine geometry and thermodynamic cycle. Never before have two rotors with different axes been combined, to produce asymmetrical compression and expansion volumes, where all the engine phases are completed in each revolution. It is capable of higher efficiency than a diesel engine (>50%), with much lower emissions and 50% reduced size, weight and cost than a typical reciprocating engine (<$15/kW).
Engine phases & cycle
All the engine phases are completed in each revolution, in parallel: - intake - compression - expansion - exhaust. Compression is on the right side, expansion on the left.
