WolvertonBailey Natural Gas Engines, LP & FEV North America Readies Production on Revolutionary Bi-Radial Natural Gas Engine…
WolvertonBailey Natural Gas Engines, LP announced today that the company has entered the final stage of funding for their patented Counterpoise Bi-Radial Natural Gas Engine. In partnership with FEV North America, a renowned automotive development partner, the engine will be ready for large-scale manufacturing and production in 2020. This news come’s right off the heels of Mazda engineers announcing their ‘breakthrough’ engine technology that is reportedly up to 30% more efficient than conventional systems. The WolvertonBailey Natural Gas Engine will surpass Mazda’s new engine developments.
According to company officials, Mazda’s improvements are incremental and are related to better use of the turbo and using a diesel like compression technique to combust the gasoline for improved efficiency. “It’s a great ideal, but does not solve the fundamental problem that both the Diesel and Otto cycles only deliver about 23% of the available energy from the fuel to the wheels.” say’s Derek Bailey, a General Partner at WolvertonBailey Natural Gas Engines, LP, and Co-founder of WolvertonBailey Innovations, Inc.
Bailey further goes on to say, “A 30% improvement gets them to about 29% efficiency, which is great but that achievement does not compare to our Counterpoise Bi-Radial’s ability to deliver 45% of the available energy to the wheels, with very low emissions due to the fact that our engine cycle burns more of the fuel and uses the energy that would be rejected in the Otto and Diesel cycles.”
In early 2016, the Nevada based company revealed the SolidWorks drawings for their new * ‘NG-400’ Counterpoise Bi-Radial engine. The patented design produces engines, which are lower-weight, higher-torque, and superior in fuel efficiency, when compared to standard IC engines. The NG-400 is part of an engine family the company dubs its E83Group – i.e. 83% more efficient than any IC engine providing comparable horsepower and torque.
In 2016, third-party Mat lab testing showed that the Counterpoise Bi-Radial design is anticipated to boost fuel efficiency in a Class 7-8 engine up to 83%, which would save the trucking industry over $7 billion in fuel costs annually based on typical class 7-8 truck mileage.
Throughout the research and development process, WolvertonBailey Natural Gas Engines, LP chose to benchmark their innovative engine design against the 8-cylinder Cummins-Wesport ISL G. The ‘NG-400’ aligns with the key objective of the Paris Climate Accord for big engine efficiency improvements and the EPA’s 10-year plan for a 40% improvement in efficiency from the current 6 Mpg to 9-10 Mpg.
WolvertonBailey’s ‘NG-400’ exceeds that standard, offering a higher average of 15+ Mpg, with near-zero emissions. Bailey explains “Our new internal combustion engine cycle was conceived to help fight climate change by creating a new generation of engines that completely burns the fuel input, because of optimized piston angles, an elongated powerstroke, and counterpoise operation that provides two powerstrokes per cycle, allowing for much smaller & lighter engines, which maintain the power and other benefits of the IC engine and virtually eliminates the pollution.”
In Bailey’s forthcoming book, “A Dangerous Gap: Will We Survive The 67-Year Gap To A Green Electric Grid?…” that is due out in January 2018, he explains this further.
As a key innovator in the industry, WolvertonBailey Natural Gas Engines, LP continues to build their technology portfolio to stop climate change; the company recently filed a provisional patent application for a ‘System, Method, and Apparatus for The Production of Liquefied Natural Gas Onboard A Vehicle.’, a technological development that will allow trucks carry an onboard gas liquifier and make its own fuel from a simple natural gas line, which engineers believe to remedy the shortage of natural gas fueling stations across the globe.
