The Peraves SuperBall Motor

[rickb]

Motorheads.........is this anything or has it been discussed...... the Peraves Superball Motor a genuine rotating spere 4 stroke engine with 3 moving parts. They have a test installation in a TP-400 scooter. They claim it can run on gas, diesel, CNG, or Hydrogen fuel sources. I'm curious if you can determine its size and power to be applicable/practical to drive a vehicle like the Persu Hybrid. The specs are limited, the animation on how it works is interesting. Click on products to find Superball Motor limited specs and animation. It may be something or it may be nothing. I am just curious about it.:)

To those club members who are engine saavy..........does the Superball Motor have the same application of powering a hybrid vehicle as the RotoMax but perhaps smaller and quieter with the option of running on a variety of fuel options. I was curious if it was something or nothing but since I got no feedback I assume there is no interest or application. Thanks.

I'm not qualified to speak on the engineering aspects of this engine vis a vis whether it would actually work, or how well it would work. It appears they *do* have a couple of working prototypes, and if it works the way they say it does, then certainly it could power a hybrid vehicle. In fact, it would be an excellent choice due to it's small size.
