The RotaTorque Engine, great Invention searches Investor

  Hello,
  my name is Markus Schönrock from Germany.
  I invented a new kind of Rotary Combustion Engine. You can see everything about the RotaTorque Engine on my private Homepage www.rotatorque.de.
  At the moment it is only available in German, but there are lots of animations that are easy to understand.
  As you can see, the first Prototype is ready and works.
  For the next stage of development I want to build a second "evolutioned" Prototype. There are lots of investigations to be made, such as electronic ignition, injection, some hours Dyno testing and so on.
  I try to find people who can help me to start the next stage, so I make the RotaTorque Engine as public as possible.
  
  I am looking foreword to your reactions
  and hope you understood my poor English.
  
  Markus

  so you want us to invest in ur engine?
  
  how much?

  from the prototype and the ideal actual engine,how many hp per liter does the prototype displaces and the actual design's?
  
  Compatible with Turbochargers?

  i think its a fantastic design.
  
  however u mentioned this "the RotaTorque engine is completely made of graphite. Only the drive shaft is steel. The graphite I use is a special mixture for best tribological characteristics. It is also impregnated for high temperature use.
  Because there is no material mix with different thermal expansion the gap tolerances from rotor to side housing are very small.
  I use only centrifugal force for the vanes. I also tried to pressurize the vanes with compressed air, but it was not necessary. The vanes start tightening up at about 300 rpm. If you really want to lubricate graphite you have to take water not oil."
  
  Are you saying that this motor will be able to pull a car on such low rpms? and if u use centrifugal force for the seperators, what about initial start up of the engine? when centrifugal force on the seperators is zero?
  
  Personally i feel it is great that u have invented something... thats why german engineering is the world's finest. Why dont you try going to the federal government for help?

  Hello from Germany,
  
  many thanks for your interests.
  
  Dear SoulFir21, yes I need someone to invest in my engine. So I try to find the right one by posting over the hole world. The amount of money I need depends on how far development should go.
  
  ceecookie, hp is always in relation to the torque the engine produces. Based on the second Prototype I expect about 300 Nm per liter. To calculate hp you just have to multiply (300:3,5) x 2500 (1/min) : 9550 = 22 kw
  The second design has 285 cm³ displacement. The hp are limited by the max. speed of the vanes. It is 20 m/s with the material I use at the moment. Sure you can use Turbochargers, but look at the "Doppelzünder", this engine brings calculated 700 Nm out of 1,5 liter. Just take two of the in a row. 1500 Nm with 65 kg weight. I think you don´t even need a gearbox.
  
  Hello storm_freaky13, each engine needs a minimum speed. The second Prototype is constructed to work from 350 - 2500 1/min. Below 350 centrifugal force is too low and over 2500 the speed of the vanes will become to fast. The second design is not for using in a car, 285 cm³ is to small. It is only a practical size to test and to show. If I designed correctly it is no problem to upsize it just as it is needed.
  
  buses_galore, every ones help is invited. My activity in several forums brings lots of people together who like to think and talk about the RotaTorque. This morning for instance, someone showed me what he made last evening:

  indeed a great invention.
  cost a huge sum of money though...

  i suggest you showcase your invention at the upcoming Singapore Motorshow at Nov.....who knows there might be some investors that's interested in your engine..
  
  Also,Is it small enough and suitable to be used on go kart style body?I heard there's one singaporean team racing with their motobike-engined go kart in USA..i tink its a university if im right...So they might use your engine concept if its suitable.

  Hello from Germany,
  
  I am glad to introduce my new english translation on www.rotatorque.com.
  Quit using the terrible online translaters. I hope my english version is more understandable.
  
  Many tanks to all interested people. By now, over 20000 pageviews were counted - I´m really pleased.

  Dear ceecookie,
  
  I would love to come to Singapore, introducing the RotaTorque engine.
  But at the moment I try to save enough money to bring the new Prototype on the way. If I have to finance it all on my own, it will take long time to get further.
  
  Thanks to all interested people from Singapore.
  
  I have seen in my download charts how many people from this forum have already visited the RotaTorque page. Extraordinary!
  
  Kindest regards

  Hello,
  
  I just collected my searches for unusual IC engines into a link list. Does anyone want to add or correct something?
