Are they for real or just some more Moeller
vapor-products?
Hi Thomas,
These guys bought the rights to an engine that
was being made in Germany (I think), and were planning to start
making them in Canada when I emailed them a year or more
ago. I actually exchanged a number of emails with them, and they
were quite receptive to suggestions.
Unfortunately, my main suggestion was to GIVE an engine
to a high profile manufacturer, with the agreement that they run up the hours
on their factory plane, and report the results in a series of magazine
articles. In other words, arrange an unbiased public test. If the
engine is as good as it's supposed to be, then this would be all the
advertising needed to sell engines. Their answer was that they
just didn't have the budget for that, but that they were working to get some
manufacturers to test their engines. Sadly, I haven't seen any
manufacturer installing
one.
It's unfortunate that neat little engines like this
just seem to fade away. The problem is that they're expensive, and
unproven. If you could eliminate one or the other, they'd sell, but
until then, they don't. Eventually, the company will go out of
business, someone else buys the design, and the cycle begins
again...
Cheers,
Rusty
