Default Re: Aussie invention eliminates piston rings

engineers have been talking about ceramic piston or rotors fitted to engines with out cooling systems that run at lots of thousands of RPM

running on hydrogen so they are clean with non liquid lubrication systems.

the problem the rings as they broke of vibrated. the drag on the bore created massive heat and the pistons speeds needed caused massive damage.

this is the sort of thing that be massive demand for with airbourn drones and battery rechargers. don't think you see it in a family car until you see fleets of electric cars.
