R-8600
Rad-Cam builds an
ultra low vibration, ultra low emission, fuel efficient, moderate RPM
internal combustion 2 cycle gasoline engine that will radically change the
following industries: ultra light aircraft, small motorcycles, personal watercraft,
RV and small electric generators and snowmobiles. Rad-Cam achieves
high efficiencies and low emissions from an internal combustion piston engine
using extended piston dwell time at Top Dead Center to create a fixed volume
environment for a complete burn of a ultra-lean fuel to air mixture. Rad-Cam (radial cam) engine design achieves
efficiencies by having a high power to weight ratio, being nearly 100%
dynamically balanced, high torque at low RPM, multiple paired components
working equal and opposite each other that produce less vibration with less
stress and wear on each individual component.
UPDATE:6/16/03 - R8600 is running!!! RPMs
have been taken upto 2300 during break-in. Idles well at 500 RPMs, Great
throttle response. Runs very smooth! Preformance data to be published at a
later date. See link below for pictures of the test runs. We call this one
the R8600. 600cc displacement, case ported reed valves, longer stroke, built
in intake manifold with impeller, pressurized oil system, and a new cam shape
that has been extensively simulated and computer refined. All the parts on
this engine have been made as they would be in production. Hardened and
ground where needed etc.. This engine is
designed to put out 60 hp @ 3000 rpm and should weigh in at |
