The admittedly ambitious father-and-son team of Nikolay and Alexander Shkolnik are pursuing
what they hope to be the most compact, fuel-efficient, low-noise combustion engine in the
world
Nikolay Shkolnick told RT in an interview that the engine is believed to have achieved the
“highest power per unit of weight” thanks to the novel thermodynamic cycle he co-invented with
his son.
“This is the major advantage of this engine because physics defines how well an engine's going to
work," he said. "And, according to our calculations — it has been published and checked and
rechecked a number of times — if the thermodynamic cycle holds true, then the engine will be the
most efficient engine."
The LiquidPiston X-mini engine is a rotary engine but with "a fundamentally different
pestnwcomaanssitSqidpser eng ert! aacama, Telthernettcal Fane teres oer ee ner An
thermodynamic cycle, architecture and operation," the LiquidPiston website says. The X-mini
engine operates on a "compression-ignition HEHC (high-efficiency hybrid cycle)," an improved
thermodynamic cycle that helps enable max fuel efficiency. The engine's two basic moving parts,
the shaft and the rotor, allow it to come in a compact size and operate with little vibration or
noise, the company says
The engine is scaleable from 1 horsepower to more than 1,000 horsepower, the Connecticut-
based compa’
The LiquidPiston engine has been in development for eight years, the company says, and the
LiquidPiston team has “a good two years ahead of us to put this engine into production,"
Shkolnick said.
“The engine will first probably start in a smaller application, such as generators, unmanned aerial
pestnwmscomlaansit Sips enger-nte! wscama, etna Fat act pa oe rn mae
vehicles, helicopter drones, lawn and garden space, smaller applications," he said. "We will then
gradually move into larger horsepower applications. Our engine is technically scaleable to
thousands of horsepower. Of course we haven't done it yet, but there is nothing theoretically that
prevents us from doing that."
Engine efficiency, he said, is one goal of LiquidPiston's work. We "want to build the most efficient,
the most compact, the less noisy, less polluting engine, the best engine in the world. We are
ambitious, the’ * meee es
“But also the acial success. We will build a company that sets
itself to succeed financially either by licensing the technology to multiple entities or being acquired
by a bigger organization. But there is no talk about this, it's all in the future.”
Shkolnick said his team is cautiously optimistic about what is next for the X-mini engine.
"Right now, this is the first version of our engine that we took out of the lab and put it in a specific
application," Shkolnick said, referring to a go-kart that was powered by one of LiquidPiston's
engines,

“But it's just proving the viability of the engine. There's still a lot of work ahead of us to prove the
efficiency is indeed the highest efficiency in the world.”

LoBS like Wankel rotary engine. Same concept but different solution. Felix Wankel developed the concept of convertin
pressure into rotating motion.
