Thanks for visiting our site, I hope it's been interesting to you. I am not an inventor, or engineer but rather a simple developer, who has put some pieces together to develop a better power source.

As teenagers, leaning against parking meters, watching the hot rods drag racing away from the stoplight. Our conversation always about engines and cars, mostly about adding a blower to increase the horsepower from the engine.

Why not, using a series of fans, driven by the front pulley system and increasing the incoming air pressure, volume and velocity. More air passed the carburetor, gathering more fuel, more energy for the piston. If the 8-cylinder Flathead Ford engine accepted the increase energy and not fly apart, there was rubber burning on the pavement. Gas price, for $2.00 you received 4.2 Imperial Gallons. Nothing new about compressing air for higher engine performance.

With only low level writing and math skills, and no engineering degree, all calculations are done by deductions and reasoning. If an 8-cylinder 4-cycle engine is listed as 400 HP, adding the general knowledge that 75% of the rough power is used within, then the size and design of the engine is capable of 1600 HP or 200 HP per cylinder.

By using compressed air, intake is instantaneous. Let the compressed air do the cleaning during exhausting. Use compressed air rather than a compression stroke. With all the extra burdens eliminated, a 2-cylinder 4-cycle should be all that is required to deliver 400 HP. With this kind of engine, why do you need valves, porting will do the same. Therefore, a 2-cycle 1-cylinder should do the same work.

As a test piece Mr. Scrap-#2 was born. A one-cylinder 2-cycle lawn mower engine was used, converting the porting to suit compress air. After many trips to Home Deport, Wal-Mart, friends places with lathes, welding set and other hobby tools. Going back into the old books for electronics, learning again what was forgotten. Working with magnets again. Gas was fed to it, same as pouring down the throat of a carburetor, air on and it ran. The answer is in the external combustion and complicated valve system.

We don't know all the answer yet, there are still many unknowns and much more work and math to be done. Some of the question that needs answering are following.

What will the fuel consumption be?
This is a very important factor, in the development and further marketing this engine. A working model would supply this information quite rapid and positive.

What about Horsepower and RPM capacity?
A working model could and would supply the most positive answer.

What about the emissions from the combustion chambers?
Will adjust air and fuels to obtain the best possible. The working test model will supply the correct answer.

How do you replenish your compressed air demands?
That is one of the highlights of the CAFEC Engine, it will replenish it own compressed air supply. On the drawing board are five different methods to compress the required air. All methods will be tested. The Power Cell Module will stay free of having to supply any outside energy other than the lubricating itself. The Alternate Power Module will house the compressor and be driven by which method most suited for the application.

Can the engine use the kinetic energy as the Hybrid Vehicle does?
Hybrid advancement was used years ago by the locomotives and is just starting to come available to the average daily vehicle driver. Just ask any truck driver about the "Jake Brake" method which will be introduced into the CAFEC Engine, but instead of exhausting to atmosphere, the air will be stored for engine uses. Another fuel and brake saving advantage of the CAFEC Engine.

What is the exhaust energy?
Some diesel engine manufactures have used an exhaust turbo to capture the exhaust power to aid intake blowers. The same principal can be achieved.

Is there a computer on board?
On the final product, a computer will be required to control all Modules. In a mobile unit, the PCM and PTM is not required to be functional as it waits for stop light changes or struck in traffic. The PCM is the fuel user. Depending on electric and air supply the computer will control the APM.

All investors must realize this is a risk investment, with greater returns upon achieving a greater engine and the first of its kind.

(Note: There other engine on the Internet, classified as free wheeling, but none who suggest the usage of compressed air)

Very Best
