This can be tuned for maximum efficiency, maximum power, or a combination depending on desired application.įourth: The Omega 1 engine is the first engine with an active linear power transfer. Then when conditions change and power is required, the computer will increase firing rate for nearly instant power with very low amounts of throttle lag. For example, the engine can fire every rotation while a vehicle is accelerating, but once at cruising speed in an aircraft, on a highway etc., the engine will only fire when there is a need, (every 5,10,50 rotations or whatever is required), and can idle at a high speed with very little fuel consumption. Third: The overall efficiency also improves because of our “skip fire” capability of the engine. The Omega 1 supercharger is far superior and is an integral part of the combustion process. Normal superchargers boost the combustion pressure by only 6 to 35 psi. This gives an added benefit of no cross-contamination of oil into the combustion chamber, which equates to lowering emissions.Ī large improvement in combustion and overall efficiency comes from the forced air supercharged intake at between 200 and 300 psi.
There are very few pumping losses because the engine is air cooled via airflow around and through the engine, and only the synchronization gears and bearings require lubrication. It has dramatically reduced friction, almost no parasitic losses, and no moving parts besides the rotational elements. Second: The Omega 1 engine has very few of these losses. All of these losses reduce the power of an engine, and dealing with these losses increases the complexity and weight. There are also significant pumping losses due to the requirement to liquid cool the engine via moving lubricants throughout the engine. The parasitic losses are not small, as they add up in the form of valve train losses, airflow restrictions, converting reciprocating piston energy into rotational crankshaft energy, and inertial losses due to spring function. Nearly every moving part has contact with other moving parts and that causes more friction. Each time a piston moves up and down, the rings scrape against the piston walls and that causes friction. What makes the Omega 1 so much more powerful, light, and efficient than a piston engine?įirst: There is a tremendous amount of friction, heat, parasitic, and pumping losses in a piston engine. “We are honored to work with a company founded by ex-Navy Seals as well as their value of military families and employment of them.” In the near future and discuss future plans regarding this technology.” Matthew Riley CEO of Astron Aerospace said, “We are excited to present the defense community with these projects Push capabilities of warfighter past any current systems and redefine power production and management.”, “The Astron Aerospace engine technology allows MATBOCK to continue to MATBOCK has already incorporated this technology into various government projects andĮxpects future development efforts associated with this technology to be available forĬustomers by Q2 2023.
