We always could you with so many of these concept design, latest cars, coolest bikes and the most awesome stuff on the planet which is giving us a bit of complex that we are spoiling our lot by giving them too much of sweet candy and little wisdom. So for a little change today, as we like to do once in a while, we go down the technical lane (My personal favorite) and take a look at one cool new comer that could have serious impact on the vehicles of the future.

This is not about the glitz and the bling on the outside but the substance that drives the posh exterior of your cherished chariot. Zajac Motors is developing a split-cycle engine concept that significantly prolongs fuel burn time through the use of a combustion chamber external to the compression and expansion piston chambers. John Zajac, who presented a poster session on his concept at the Diesel Engine-Efficiency and Emissions Research conference this week in Dearborn, Michigan, claims that his engine will deliver 15% better fuel economy than a diesel, run on any liquid fuel, and be essentially non-polluting.
The Zajac engine uses new head parts that are compatible with a standard diesel engine block. The in-block cylinders are split into compression and expansion roles, and connected by an external “hot wall” combustion chamber. The engine presumes the use of new rotary valves, also developed by Zajac. The combustion chamber, valves, and control systems are the core of Zajac’s IP.
This results in a complete and clean burn. The complete combustion delivers the improvement in fuel efficiency, and also virtually eliminates the production of CO, unburned hydrocarbons and soot. NO is prevented by keeping the combustion temperature below the 1700 K formation threshold.
