It won't ever achieve the claimed efficiency.
They make claims to having 100:1 compression ratio for compression cylinder but this just proves they are stupid. The compression ratio is (swept volume + chamber volume) / chamber volume. For the compression cylinder the chamber is the transfer port or receiver vessel between the 2 cylinders. They don't actually have any more than 5:1 CR.
Then they open the inlet to the power chamber and reduce it still more.
Only way to fix this is to make the compressor 10x the size and then they will find they have 4% or maybe 5% overall efficiency - about 1/10 of current best such as Rolls-Royce K series.
Hi, I'm RAnn and I'd like to invite you to participate in Sunday Snippets, a Catholic Carnival. It is a way for us to share the best of our blogs with other Catholic bloggers and blog readers.
