A sample 100% efficient heat engine model

   Previous Next

This engine cycle design best illustrates the point of this web site.
Theoretical engines are limited only by the First Law of Thermodynamics, Conservation of Energy..

What is it?

This animation illustrates a cycle design coupled with counter flow heat exchanger which would with perfectly insulated pistons and perfect counter flow heat exchanger be 100% fuel efficient.

60 Joules per cycle produced, and 60 Joules per cycle fuel added.

For real implementations, well over 90% is very reasonable expectation.
