You could have weed wacker sized engines driving a van down the road lol or create thousands of HP with a common sized modern engine (wont happen, they'll give us the weed wackers) The heart of this new engine is that it has a supercharging affect within itself. A naturally forced induction motor! This is really something.
Hmm well I wonder if a normal motor can take that kind of abuse.

Nope try again. Your not going to create 1000hp out any normal engine by increasing its compression ratio to 100. The cost to build an engine that could handle that kind of pressure would be astronomical. What kind of fuel would you run? Its a theory only and there is no working model. Just some neat illustations.

Do you know anything at all about cars and the mechanics of them?
