Modern Combustion Engines are a fucking joke, let me explain why.
For over 100 years, man has been using the same combustion engine and modifying how to inject the fuel and how and when to spark , instead of releasing completely different technologies like humanity has done for other things. In an era where there was no mass communication, no world wide connection they had the same basic engine principle as we use today in a world where we have supposedly gone to the moon 50 years ago, and we use phones that are more powerful than the supercomputers in the 80's but yet we still rely on the same old basic technology from over 100 years for our automobiles. Hmm, and when one actually does their research, they realize that most of the fuel economy gains are not due to the engine upgrades, but rather the addition of more gears in transmissions, since today's cars have twice the number of gears as back then! So if we used the same old 4 gear tranmissions from the 90's, our electronically direct injected fuel engines with variable valve timing, variable intake, DOHC, all begin to look very very useless compared to how long it took to develop this technology AND THE SHIT GAINS it got us!!

It's all a fucking scam, to run oil as long as they can, and that's why hybrids are also the biggest fucking joke. Instead of releasing a completely new technology like TESLA, they introduced hybrids into the market, to fucking milk the god damn oil as long as they can. I can't believe how stupid some people are. We don't need gas AT ALL. In fact, some DIESEL ENGINES have better GAS MILEAGE than HYBRIDS! In europe, most cars are diesel, and most modern diesels are getting over 50MPG'S while people here in the US and Canada are driving modern shitbox fords with 10 gears that gets them 32mpgs.

Every now and then, someone comes out with a new technology and dies from a suicide with 2 bullet holes in their head.

there is no alternative to crude oil or natural gas or coal..

combustion produces best usable energy and IC engines do great job of capturing that

A lot of things have been changed..piston n cylinder designs,new materials,electronic control

Why do basic things have to be changed when they are working better?

If TESLA tech was better,it would be in market..In fact,if you have workable tech,license it to me(everything legal) and i open plant here..

Re: Modern Combustion Engines are a fucking joke, let me explain why.
So is it the engines themselves, or the fuel system?

I get what you are saying, there have been fuel systems that get 100mpg. I believe within that context it is a scam.

However, the power ratio, reliability and overall cost of ownership aspects I have not really seen anything come close as a viable alternative to the combustion engine.

I partially agree with you, but the mechanical design of the combustion engine is the best there is at the moment. The fuel delivery system on the other hand could be better.

what are you talking about? Even mercedes had hydrogen powered engines 50 years ago. You think if they researched that tech for 100 years, maybe they would be better off huh? There have been thousands of alternative proposals of which none have been taken seriously for OBVIOUS reasons.

Tesla Motors is having amazing success actually, and Nikola Tesla himself had many patents and even said we could stream free electricity anywhere. You obvoiusly didn't read my whole post. With the materials, and methods used to inject fuel, one has to remember that the number of gears has also doubled now, so the gains that we get from the engine alone in 100 years is SHIT.

Yes, GM and Honda are collaborating on a hydrogen fuel cell that is much smaller than previous designs. I believe they are looking at 2020-2025 to produce automobiles with fuel cells. The cost is beginning to become realistic.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73688649


No, most of the economy gains come from computer controls that keep the stochastic fuel mixture at optimum levels, along with better alloys and lubricants. Transmissions with more gears help but are not the main reason. They are also making vehicles lighter (and more dangerous in accidents) because of CAFE standards.

OK OP here is the actual truth to the matter. You are correct . we get the same shitty mileage we always have ! All of our advancements and all our tech is doing nothing for the everyday consumer ! However , look over seas .... They have cars getting 75 to 125 mpg .... wanna know why ? because we have to make enough money here ( supposedly ) from gas sales to keep our infrastructure in the fine construction clogged , pothole ridden cluster fuck we have become accustom . Shitty fuel mileage = more gas sold ! more gas sold = more money made in the guise of " keeping our roads and bridges safe " ( horse shit ) a 57 chevy got damn near the same if not better mileage than we get now . It was also more stylish and build out of good quality shit. today however with the heated seats , ac that could freeze meat , and all the other useless shit we pile on in the name of " comfort " we got lazier , fatter , less capable to survive such things as hot or cold , and just in general allowed oil companies and governments to walk all over us as a trade off for fancier shit that breaks down more often and gets hardly any if at all better fuel economy . But HEY , on the upside , we can watch Madagascar while driving 90 miles an hour down the highway while staying 45 degrees in the summer in a 4500 pound hunk of metal , rubber , and glass . My original thought from about 15 years ago ( when I watched some jack ass spray painting his fucking head through a piece of card board to eliminate his baldness ) has suddenly sprang to mind again ; " If we don't get our collective shit together , as a species , we will be too weak to survive another 5000 years on this spinning blue marble we call home !

Look to high end manufacturers for new tech. Porsche and Mclaren have hybrid engines that push out nearly 1,000hp. The electric engines alone push out 4-500hp. As soon as these electric engines and high end tech become mainstream and affordable, fossil fuels will fall by the wayside.

Though, again, battery powered technology and electric engines are OLD.

Re: Modern Combustion Engines are a fucking joke, let me explain why.
Here's the truth:

ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) cars are about 15-20% efficient. The actual energy from a unit (such as gallon) of petrol is mostly lost due to friction and waste. Only about 15% reaches the wheels.

An electric car is about 80-90% efficient. Almost all the energy from the battery makes it to the wheels.

My hypothesis (and it can probably be proven) is that the oligarchs (Rockefellers, Rothschilds, etc) own the big oil companies and oil refineries and like it that we spend money on something as inefficient as gas powered cars.

Remember what Henry Kissinger said:

You rule people with food, nations with oil and the world with money.

Henry Ford said that every farmer would have a small portion of his land devoted to growing fruits and corn or whatever to make fuel alcohol to run his cars and tractors.

John D Rockefeller didn't like this, bought off congress and passed a law (this was during prohibition, which he had a hand in) that fuel alcohol needed an ingredient so that it was poisonous, couldn't be drunk. This additive was petroleum.

In 1900 about 20-25% of the cars and transportation was electric. John D Rockefeller made sure that this didn't continue.

Re: Modern Combustion Engines are a fucking joke, let me explain why.
For over 100 years, man has been using the same combustion engine and modifying how to inject the fuel and how and when to spark , instead of releasing completely different technologies like humanity has done for other things. In an era where there was no mass communication, no world wide connection they had the same basic engine principle as we use today in a world where we have supposedly gone to the moon 50 years ago, and we use phones that are more powerful than the supercomputers in the 80's but yet we still rely on the same old basic technology from over 100 years for our automobiles. Hmm, and when one actually does their research, they realize that most of the fuel economy gains are not due to the engine upgrades, but rather the addition of more gears in transmissions, since today's cars have twice the number of gears as back then! So if we used the same old 4 gear tranmissions from the 90's, our electronically direct injected fuel engines with variable valve timing, variable intake, DOHC, all begin to look very very useless compared to how long it took to develop this technology AND THE SHIT GAINS it got us!!

It's all a fucking scam, to run oil as long as they can, and that's why hybrids are also the biggest fucking joke. Instead of releasing a completely new technology like TESLA, they introduced hybrids into the market, to fucking milk the god damn oil as long as they can. I can't believe how stupid some people are. We don't need gas AT ALL. In fact, some DIESEL ENGINES have better GAS MILEAGE than HYBRIDS! In europe, most cars are diesel, and most modern diesels are getting over 50MPG'S while people here in the US and Canada are driving modern shitbox fords with 10 gears that gets them 32mpgs.

Every now and then, someone comes out with a new technology and dies from a suicide with 2 bullet holes in their head.

I was going to post the exact same thing with a bit of a spin on it... Other countries outside of the USA have petrol engines that get FAR better gas mileage than the same cars inside the USA. THIS IS A SCAM. The ONLY reason we are not allowed to have cars that get the better gas mileage is because the government taxes the gas. It would mean much less revenue for them, but at the same time they keep telling us we need to have the manufacturers produce higher mile per/gal engines... what a joke.

Trump needs to do something about this. He's fully aware of the scam, I'm positive about that. BUT, at the same time, he's in bed with big oil. So, this is ONE issue I'm going to have a hard time with if he doesn't call it out.

This needs to go viral, if people were fully aware of the scam, it would force their hand.

Re: Modern Combustion Engines are a fucking joke, let me explain why.
An electric car is about 80-90% efficient. Almost all the energy from the battery makes it to the wheels.


 Quoting: Vic138


How efficient is the electric generating plant that makes the electricity for your electric car, and how much line loss is their from the plant to your charging station?

If you take that into account your electric is about as efficient as a modern internal combustion vehicle.
