WEST SPRINGFIELD, MA, Feb 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
The Scuderi Group, developer of the world's most fuel efficient internal
combustion engine, has announced that Bosch Engineering GmbH will assist in
the prototype development of the Scuderi Air-Hybrid Engine. As one of the
world's leading engineering services company, Bosch Engineering will apply its
expertise to the development of the timing system for the gasoline and diesel
prototypes.
Specifically, Bosch will assist the Scuderi Group and its independent
laboratory in
defining the technical requirements, supplying component specifications, such as
the fuel injection system itself. The team will start by focusing on the Otto
(spark ignition combustion) cycle and then address the diesel cycle.
"Bringing the top tier talent of Bosch Engineering to our team developing
the
Scuderi Air-Hybrid Engine provides exceptional engineering resources that will
help
advance the Scuderi Engine technology," commented Sal Scuderi, president of
the Scuderi Group.
As announced recently, the first independent lab report has predicted that
the
Scuderi Split-Cycle Engine under full-load (FL) conditions provides higher
power,
torque, and efficiency ratings than are currently attainable by the conventional
turbocharged engines used in vehicles today.
The Scuderi Engine
The Scuderi Split-Cycle Engine is expected to provide significant
improvements in the
area of power, efficiency, and environmental protection. The Scuderi Group has
made
these latest improvements by focusing on fluid and thermodynamics in the
engine core. The results of state-of-the-art modeling and testing indicate:
-- Fuel efficiency 25-50 percent higher than in today's gasoline and diesel
engines
-- Nitrous emissions up to 80 percent less than that of today's gasoline and
diesel engines
-- Improved performance of hybrid engines
-- Considerably more torque and power over conventional engines
-- Minimal increased manufacturing and tooling costs due to use of similar
or common components
How the Scuderi Air-Hybrid Engine works
Through the addition of a small compressed air storage tank with only a
fewcontrol elements costing only a few hundred dollars, the Scuderi engine
canrecover the energy that is normally lost when a vehicle is decelerated. To
apply this principle in an electric-hybrid vehicle, a complex electrical system
is
needed that costs thousands of dollars and consists of generators, motors,
and batteries. The Scuderi air-hybrid, unlike electric hybrids, also has the
unique ability to recapture energy from the engine's exhaust stream. This makes
it
possible to also use the Scuderi air-hybrid technology in stationary
applications
such as in generators, an area of application in which the electrical hybrid
is considered impractical.
About The Scuderi Group
Based in West Springfield, Mass., with offices in Frankfurt, Germany, the
Scuderi Group is a technology development company focused on proliferating
intellectual
property through licensing. Its revolutionary Scuderi Engine Technology is the
most significant improvement in engine performance in decades and can be
applied to any internal combustion engine including gasoline, diesel,
bio-diesel,
and natural gas. The Scuderi Engine, along with its Air-Hybrid feature, is
expected to significantly increase vehicle mileage and reduce up to 80 percent
less harmful emissions. Besides improving efficiency and reducing emissions, the
Scuderi Engine also improves power and performance at a cost that is thousands
of dollars below the current hybrid systems. The Scuderi Technology is
patented worldwide with 20 patents issued and 57 pending in over 50 countries.
