I did a Google and a few ran it.  Most were on about a new engine factory
being built for this secret engine. He say he is not disclosing the secret
awaiting patents, which appears probable, but an outline of how it works
would not put him at a disadvantage.

But I fear this is another hoax. For an engine to be so efficient it would
need a radical departure from the current inefficient piston designs.

You don't have to WAIT, to disclose, once your Patent is "Filed" with
the Patent Office, because it is the Filing Date, that is critical, NOT
the Issuance Date.  If that is his excuse, then he isn't being honest
with his disclosers..... and likely is a ScumBag Scammer.....

Any "secret" on how it works will be revealed with the firsst one off
the assembly line anyhow.  IOW it is nothing but a scam.

Hmm - that's not quite correct if he also wants foreign patents, which
would seem fairly reasonable in this case. In the case of the EU, he
needs to file (and pay) the EU - and then file (and pay) in each of the
member countries in which he wants to exercise patent rights.

It can take a while - and it can cause significant delays in getting new
technology to the market.

( I spent most of yesterday afternoon in my patent attorney's office
trying not to become discouraged by all of this. )

The ICE experts are betting on the Atkinson cycle:

Here is the real way to compare engine fuel efficiencies:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_specific_fuel_consumption

Notice that the Revetec isn't the most efficient and modern designs
don't improve much on the long-range aircraft piston engines of the
1930s and 40s. Unlike the big modern Diesels the Wright and similar
Pratt & Whitney radials were also extremely light, around 1.2 Lbs per
HP.

My 1949 aircraft powerplant book shows a typical engine producing ~36%
thermal efficiency before the supercharger. The losses are ~52% in the
exhaust and only ~12% from cooling, which includes cylinder and rod
friction. About 5% of the exhaust loss is from incomplete combustion.
So perfect combustion and a frictionless design could gain less than
15%.

This is a descendant of the Jumo aircraft Diesel, developed for
locomotives and used with great success in American WW2 submarines:

Reve is French for "dream".
