CONCLUSION
 INTRODUCTION
• It is a rotary engine that uses a 4 face articulated rotor,
rotating without vibration and turbine blades.
• Higher Efficiency for Resources Saving and Cleaner
Environment.
• The Quasi-turbine is a compact, low weight and high
torque machine with top efficiency.
• It is invented by Dr. Gilles Saint Hilaire and get patent
in 1996.
 CONSTRUCTION
• The Quasi-turbine engines is active between a robust
external housing and central shaft assembled mounted on
bearings.
• It consists of vane, vane holders, rotor link bracket, spark
plug, housing, bearings, casing and casing plate.
• The central shaft is optional and is only needed to transfer
the torque when necessary.
• Quasi-turbine does not require any gear assembly it reduce
complexity and cost to build.
• The intake and exhaust ports being at different ends of the
combustion chamber.
• It is integration of the electric generator with fuel engines.
 WORKING PRINCIPLE
• The four strokes of a typical cycle are arranged sequentially
around a near oval.
• It enable Photo-detonation.
• The compressing and expanding
takes when the housing to get closer and farther from the rotor.
• The Quasi-turbine can handle large volumes of air or steam.
• The Quasi-turbine average torque is equal at 90 % of the
maximum torque but 15% in case of 4 stroke piston engine.
• The four power strokes per rotor revolution, this is eight
times more than a four stroke piston engine.
 COMPARISON WITH FOUR STROKE

1. There are two overhead camshaft.

2. The compression ratio expansion ratio not equal.
3. In 5-stroke engine even high pressure turbocharging
is possible and it has no negative effect on efficiency.
4. It also generates 4 power strokes in 2 rotations of
crankshafts but with high balance and high efficiency
5. Here the exhaust gases escape from engine after 2
stage expansion at only 2-3 bar thus producing very
low exhaust noise.
6. The engine is smaller, lighter, produces same power
as that of the diesel engine in a cheaper cost and is
more environment friendly.
 CONCLUSION
• It is 20% lighter & has higher expansion
ratios.
•The overall fuel consumption is decreased
and efficiency is increased by 36.1%.
•The maintenance cost might be high.
•The utilization of unused burnt gases are
reduced.
•Ultimately, this engine can be adopted in
automobile industry.
