Scuderi Group capped off the fourth and final day of its exhibit at the Frankfurt Car Show with a reception celebrating the introduction and proving of the Scuderi Cycle and the revolutionary concept of firing after top dead center.
Day Three of the Frankfurt Car Show brought more attention to the Scuderi Engine, highlighted by a special visit by the U.S. Ambassador to Germany Philip Murphy who made a special trip to see the engine he's been hearing so much about.
Press day two of the Frankfurt Car Show today was a continuation of the massive amount of the world's automotive media corps streaming through the fair grounds. As the world's largest car show, the event is held within a campus of a dozen, with Mercedes-Benz occupying two entire buildings.
Today as the auto world descended on Frankfurt for the start of the world's biggest car show, Scuderi Group made their official announcement that they have proven the new thermodynamic process, the Scuderi Cycle, and the revolutionary concept of "firing after top dead center."
Scuderi Group will make its IAA debut next week with an announcement introducing the Scuderi Cycle and the proving of the revolutionary concept of "Firing After Top Dead Center." A press conference with executives and engineers will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday 15 Sept. at the International Automobile Association's Frankfurt Car Show in the CongressCenter Messe Frankfurt. A working, cutaway model of the prototype engine will also be on display in Hall 4.1, Stand No. A9.
As the Scuderi Engine continues to draw interest and attention around the world, we continue to hear a few of the same questions again and again. One of the most frequently asked questions we hear is this one: If the Scuderi Engine uses two cylinders to do the same thing that a four-stroke engine does with one, why doesn't it take twice the number of cylinders to power the Scuderi Engine? In this podcast, Sal Scuderi explains why.
Reuters is reporting today that despite the electric hybrid's mass appeal for better fuel efficiency, the impact on the world's supply is quite devastating.
According to the story, this guzzling of metals makes the gasoline-electric hybrids vulnerable to a supply crunch predicted by experts as China, the world's dominant rare earths producer, limits exports while global demand swells. Among the metals that would be affected in a shortage is neodymium, the key component of an alloy used to make the high-power, lightweight magnets for electric motors of hybrid cars as well as in generators of wind turbines.
But with the more efficient Scuderi Air-Hybrid Engine, no such worry exists. Even though the Scuderi Engine incorporates a completely new thermodynamic process - the Scuderi Cycle - the engine only uses conventional parts. Further, besides producing less CO2 and up to 80 percent less NOx than any conventional engine on the road today, efficiency levels are expected to surpass those engines as well.
