Engine can run on just 1 cylinder
THE BLADE, TOLEDO, OHIO | Tue, Nov 3, 10:10 AM

Nov. 3--How does the car engine that Doug Pelmear developed get the equivalent of 110 or more miles to the gallon and still keep its horsepower?

He told The Blade: marriage and frugality.

His technological achievement has been the marriage of an electric motor into his E-85-fueled V-8 internal combustion engine, he said. It also has controls, he said, that allow the combined power plant's output to range from more than 400 horsepower to as little as 15 horsepower, depending on what is required at the time by the accelerator.

This range of energy output is accomplished because his gasoline-powered engine can transition from running on all eight cylinders down to firing on just one, Mr. Pelmear said.

Other automakers have used so-called "variable displacement" -- shutting down usually half of an engine's cylinders when not under load -- for several years to improve fuel economy. But unlike other designs, Mr. Pelmear said he has discovered a way to vary which cylinders shut down. He avoids excessive carbon buildup in part because he uses cleaner-burning E85 ethanol gasoline as his fuel source instead of a standard gasoline blend, he said.

The engine's power plant picks up added efficiency because his incorporated electric motor -- greatly responsible for the 500 foot pounds of torque the power plant generates -- operates on a pulse basis, instead of at what is called full saturation, Mr. Pelmear explained. In other words, the electric field used to generate power to the vehicle's wheels can rapidly cycle on and off as required, saving energy.

The vehicle uses just two "spiral core gel" batteries, common in racing, one on each side of the vehicle, and reclaims some energy from more established technology, such as regenerative braking, which captures energy that otherwise would be lost as a vehicle decelerates, he added.

In addition to how it uses energy, Mr. Pelmear's design picks up efficiencies because of tight tolerances and sturdy design that reduces engine vibration and heat, all of which drain energy output from traditional vehicles.

The resulting combination has allowed Mr. Pelmear to log more than 22,000 miles of real-world driving on his 3,250-pound 1987 Ford Mustang over the last 18 months with an average fuel economy of 109.85 mpg.

EPA testing confirmed that -- without the benefit of a catalytic converter, which his design does not require -- the Mustang's tailpipe emitted 86.6 parts per million of hydrocarbons and 0.46 percent carbon monoxide, both well below the newly imposed EPA standards for all automakers of 132 parts per million and 0.73 percent, respectively.

So how does Mr. Pelmear's design differ from other vehicles with electric drive components?

A traditional two-mode hybrid, like the Toyota Prius, for example, uses its gasoline engine and electric motor in tandem -- so that when one is working, the other usually is not. Such vehicles have large, heavy banks of multiple batteries that are charged up by the gasoline engine and drawn down by the electric motor.

Other vehicles coming to market, like the Chevy Volt, use stored battery power from a plug into the electricity grid to power their electric motors until the stored power runs out, when they begin to operate on small gasoline-powered engines.

Revenge Designs Inc. Update to Shareholders:

Oct 23, 2009 12:50 ET

Revenge Designs Inc. Update to Shareholders
DECATUR, IN--(Marketwire - October 23, 2009) - Revenge (PINKSHEETS: RVGD) is happy to announce we are on track with the Verde Super car concept vehicle, marked for completion mid December 2009.

DuPont registry publishing will be the first magazine to have the scoop on the Revenge Verde Super car renderings in their December 2009 issue. This also kicks off a twelve month advertising campaign with this prestigious automotive magazine.

Revenge has received conformation of our site for the release of the Verde Super car at the North American International Auto Show, held in Detroit, MI January 11th through 24th, 2010 at the Cobo Center.

Negotiations are still ongoing with Henry County Ohio Revolving loan committee and also various private placement investors who have come to the table with assisting Revenge to locate the first Certified Installation Center and training facility in Ohio which will also house management and marketing staff.

Mr. Peter Collorafi, CEO/President of Revenge, will be attending SEMA (Specialty Engineering Manufactures Association) along with Mr. Douglas Palmear, owner of HP2G in November. Mr. Collorafi stated, "We are all very excited with the interest in the installation centers in California and looking forward to face to face meetings with all interested parties." Mr. Palmear will also be speaking at the opening of SEMA to discuss all aspects of the HP2G Hybrid V8 engine technology, which is offered as an engine option in the Revenge Super car. The HP2G engine is the first Hybrid assisted V8 engine, supplying its own energy recharge to support the E85 fuel. Engine specifications will be announced after the SEMA release. There will also be an engine on display at the Detroit Auto Show at the Revenge Exhibit.

Revenge Designs Inc., a specialty car designer and production assembler, is headquartered in a facility in Indiana. Mr. Peter Collorafi is a designer from Queensland, Australia. Mr. Collorafi has been designing and installing custom modifications for factory produced vehicles since 1980. Their products include the Revenge Solstice, Revenge Ridgeline and the award winning Revenge GTO. For more information on the company please contact 260 724 4000, [e-mail] and visit www.revengedesignsinc.com

Revenge Designs Inc. - THE ULTIMATE REVENGE IS SUCCESS.

it's when the one cylinder now will change back to 8....to climb another tick?
come on Doug/Peter...they said you would not make at Sema......

so why would they write this?

The revolution in HP2g’s powerplant is three-fold. First, according to HP2g’s press release, “[T]he HP2g E-85 fueled engine can transition from running on all eight cylinders down to firing on just one.” Unlike conventional variable displacement systems now in production, the HP2g’s engine rotates the single active cylinder among the eight using a proprietary process.

Second, HP2g reportedly has integrated a unique electric motor which operates “on a pulse basis, instead of what is called full saturation.” HP2g uses rapid electric cycling to conserve electric energy. The integrated motor also reportedly employs regenerative braking. The battery pack for the pulsed electric motor is reportedly two racing spiral core gel batteries.

Third, HP2g has discovered “added efficiencies because of tight tolerances and sturdy design.”

A cutaway of the HP2g engine is scheduled for public display at the 2010 Detroit International Auto Show.

During 18 months of testing, HP2g reports average fuel economy of 109.7 m.p.g. over 22,000 miles of driving. In fact Doug Pelmear told Truth With Speedzter that he drove HP2g’s 1987 Mustang prototype on display from Ohio to Las Vegas, with the run from Oklahoma City to Sin City taking a only a splash more than one tank-ful of E-85 fuel.

HP2g also reports that the Pelmear engine underwent “standard EPA testing” in May 2009 and passed without a catalytic converter.

At SEMA 2009, the HP2g Mustang was parked among a diverse collection of “green” cars. Ironically, the green display was anchored by huge display of unusual and even freakish Progressive Automotive X-Prize competitors. As reported previously, HP2g is not among the X-Prize finalists. Some internet wags have suggested that HP2g’s omission from the X-Prize “proves” Pelmear’s stock-appearing Mustang is less than what is claimed. Such judgments are irresponsible and premature.

Pelmear also told Truth With Speedzzter that the big OEMs seem to be taking a skeptical view of HP2g’s technology. Perhaps it is because of Detroit’s “not invented here” mindset. Or perhaps the skepticism is fueled by the mystery surrounding HP2g’s three prototype Mustangs. Or perhaps it is because it seems impossible that Ohio hot rodders working on a relatively shoestring budget (compared to the billions OEMs invest for modest gains) could have achieved a technological breakthrough of epic proportions.

In person, Pelmear seems like a modest and forthright entrepreneur. He appears to be a “cut-and-try,” grease-under-the-fingernails hot rodder, and not a highfalutin engineer. In our brief conversation, he gave the impression of one who is always thinking about solving the next problem or technological challenge. Clearly, his enthusiasm for his engine is boundless. And like Smokey Yunick, the legendary inventor of the hot vapor cycle engine, Pelmear is proud that his engine is “all-American.”
