Its Scuderi Split-Cycle Engine makes use of tandem compression cylinders to &#8220;supercharge&#8221; the combustion cylinders. Sophisticated valve timing gets maximum efficiency out of every compression\/combustion cycle. The company claims that the result is an engine that is almost twice as fuel efficient as today&#8217;s engines with emission reductions by as much as 80%. The company will be firing up their wares at the Engine Expo in Germany next week. The DoD has already cast their vote of interest in the form of a US$1.2 million grant.<\/p>\n<p> [Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\" target=\"new\">Gizmag<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just because internal combustion technology is some 140 years old doesn&#8217;t mean there isn&#8217;t still room for improvement, does it?
