Axial Vector™ Engine

The new "Axial Vector Engine" has 12 cylinders, with 6 "double-ended" pistons. The drive shaft is in the middle, and the cylinders and pistons surround it. The company that makes it "Axial Vection Engine Corporation", identifies this technology as "Barrel-Type Internal Combustion Engine".

There's a lot of technical-speak describing this new concept in engine design. But to sum it, it is much lighter than the traditional combustion engine configurations, allowing for a great power-to-weight ratio. It has 80% fewer moving parts, which greatly reduces friction, and reduces heat. It's also 50% smaller than standard engines.

It will pump out 200 HP at just 2,000 RPMS, and 650 ft-lb torque at just 1,200 RPMS. It has a 373 cubic inch displacement.

The company forsees a wide variety of applications, but notes that this model would be perfect for hybrid vehicles, because of its light-weight.

This is not a new concept. At the USAF musuem in Ohio there is one on display that dates back to the 30's.

The company appears to be a scam. See the Stockpatrol articles and information on Ragingbull. The Pres was involved in othre scams regarding touting technology.

The old pres. does not have a clean record but the product and its foreign investors seem real.

Didn't Clessie Cummins work on this design back in the 1940's.

This is what was formerly known as the "DynaCam" engine and before that, originally the "Palmer HemiCam" engine, invented and certified by the FAA for use in aircraft in 1957. Palmer's son Dennis (an old friend of mine)and a partner tried marketing this for many years and eventually had it stolen through litigation by a company called Axial Vector Engine Co. (AVEC) which is based in the United Arab Emirates.
AVEC has corrupted the original design, which was the most efficient piston engine ever developed. Bob Ford, Moreno Valley, CA
