Directory:Massive Yet Tiny (MYT) Engine
From PESWiki
The MYT (Massive Yet Tiny) Engine by inventor Raphial Morgado, is an internal combustion engine of new design that features multiple firings in one cycle, producing enormous torque in a small area.
With 40 times higher power to weight ratio, low parts count, low maintenance, high mechanical efficiency, and low pollution, the MYT™ Engine will benefit airplane, big ship, 18 wheeler, SUV, passenger car, even down to carry on power generator applications. The MYT™ Engine as a pump/compressor also exceeds existing pumps/compressors in providing massive pressure, volume, and flow, all in one unit.
The first prototype model exerts 850 cubic inches of displacement even though the size is only 14" diameter by 14" long, weighing 150 lbs, compared to 3000 lbs for a comparable engine of conventional size capable of that much power output.
As of Spring 2010, the company is presently working on a 6" diameter motor, which could be built inexpensively by machining, without the cost of casting, for its first beta testing units. [1]
They are also considering a geothermal application of the pump/compressor version of the engine. [2]
On the side, as a hobby, Morgado is pursuing an Angel Flight Pack that would enable personal flight for as long as an hour.

How it Works
The reason why the MYT Engine is so huge in displacement is because of frequent firing. It fires 16 times in one rotation, making it equivalent to 32 cylinder, four stroke engine.
The basic principle is the following. There are two disks each connected to four pistons in a toroidal cylinder. The disks rotate alternately generating the four stroke principles between the pistons. There is no need for valves since the position of the pistons allow wide open port to breathe air.
The part count is less than 25 parts even though it's 32 cylinder equivalent. (Each piston fires twice during one rotation, making total 16 firings in one main shaft rotation.) Since only the piston rings touch the cylinder wall (not piston skirts), the friction loss is very minimal. (Emhart/NASA)
Prototype
The first prototype model exerts 850 cubic inches of displacement even though the size is only 14" diameter by 14" long, weighing in 150 lbs.
The MYT Engine has been tested with fuel and air motoring on our Dynamometer. The calculation of the 850 CID is the following. CID = pi * radius * radius * stroke * # of pistons (firings) = 3.14 * 1.5 * 1.5 * 3.75 * 32 = 848 cubic inches. (Emhart/NASA)
Patent
Has 100 Patents world wide.
US Patent #6739307; Ralph Gordon Morgado; May 25, 2004; Internal combustion engine and method
- Abstract
- Internal combustion engine and method in which pistons on different rotors move relative to each other to form chambers of variable volume in a toroidal cylinder. The pistons move in stepwise fashion, with the pistons on one rotor traveling a predetermined distance while the pistons on the other rotor remain substantially stationary. Fuel is drawn into a chamber as one of the pistons defining the chamber moves away from the other, and then compressed as the second piston moves toward the first. Combustion of the fuel drives the first piston away from the second, and the spent gases are then expelled from the chamber by the second piston moving again toward the first. An output shaft is connected to the rotors in such manner that the shaft rotates continuously while the rotors and pistons move in their stepwise fashion.
Fuel Economy
In a phone interview on May 1, 2006 and subsequent email, Jin K. Kim, Ph.D, Managing Member, Angel Labs, LLC said that the design of the engine is such that there is a "long dwell time at top dead center." This means that there is a much higher chance that all of the fuel is ignited, resulting in achieving "very close to 100% theoretical efficiency."
"For Gasoline engine, the theoretical efficiency is about 30%; and for Diesel, it's somewhere around 50%. The MYT Engine fuel efficiency will reach that theoretical efficiency, whatever that is, due to virtually no friction and very long dwell at TDC.
"One more factor is much higher mechanical efficiency due to radically small number of components. (only 20 parts vs. thousands.)"
-- Sterling D. Allan (SilverThunder 02:14, 2 May 2006 (EDT))
Scaling
Sized os 2" up to 5' model has been designed. For example, 4.5" model features 2.4 litre cubic inches displacement (size of Formula 1 racing engine) weighing only 35 lbs.
Advantages
- Low weight
- Can burn multiple fuels
- Can run on compressed air
- Fewer moving parts
- No reciprocating parts. They move in one direction.
- High RPM potential
- No cylinder heads, no camshaft, no valves
Applications
The application of the MYT Engine is in all kinds of transportations, automobiles, trucks, airplanes, ships, and distributed and stationary power generations. The MYT Engine with four more ports also works as air motor, air and liquid pump, and air and liquid compressor, with positive displacement, high volume, and high flow.

A Renewable Vision
Quoting from http://www.angellabsllc.com/Scenario.html
- And here is the scenario:
- The Mighty Pumps can pump the sea water for desalination
- The Mighty Pumps can pump the water thru pipeline to Deserts and turn the Deserts into Farm lands to grow Palm Trees, Coconuts, Soybeans, etc.
- Bio Fuel extracted from Palms, Coconuts, Soybeans, etc.can fuel the Mighty Engine, hooked up to a generator to generate electricity
- Automobiles with the Mighty Engine can run on Bio Fuel Industry can be powered by the Mighty Engine using Bio Fuel with better fuel economy and less pollution
- Radical new designs of Automobiles, Ships, and Airplanes are imminent with the Mighty Engine running Bio Fuel Earth gets less polluted, while industry runs with renewable Bio Fuel which never runs out
- Farm Lands on Earth can now grow our own Fuel We won’t be at the mercy of foreign oil suppliers any more.
Flight
- Flight / Fuel Efficiency > Flying Cars > MYT Engine >
DARPA kick-starts flying car program - US Military scientists have announced the Transofermer (TX) initiative to ramp up research and development of a flying military vehicle that will hold up to 4 people and have the ability to launch vertically and soar when necessary; and support range and speed efficiencies that will allow for missions to be performed on a single tank of fuel. (NetworkWorld; Jan. 4, 2009)
Other Applications
Take a look at the Mjolnir Curvilinear Air-Motor Generator Set - The MYT engine has some design similarities to this concept that looks to harness the solar energy contained in ambient air, thus enabling the engine to run on air.
