About Us
MotorPat, LLC owns the patent assignment rights for the revolutionary internal combustion engine invented by Walter Schmied. At the heart
of the engine is the hypocycloidal crankshaft which allows for in-line reciprocal motion of each engine cylinder to be converted to rotating motion.
This unique configuration results in an engine with more power, less weight, lower
emissions, and very low fuel consumption.
The reciprocating cylinder engine allows for continuously variable induction and compression. A two-stage compression process provides the best possible mixing of fuel and air and the uni-flow scavenging reduces the amount of unburned fuel escaping in the exhaust. The engine also extracts additional energy from the exhaust with a patented energy recovery system.
With the addition of an internal altitude compensation feature during the first stage of compression the engine delivers constant power at any altitude.
Bonner Motor Corp. is currently researching and developing this technology for the United States Government - See the NASA Technical Report:
Overcoming Present-Day Powerplant Limitations Via Unconventional Engine Configurations
Excerpt:
"The Bonner Engine is unmatched in its ability to operate at maximum efficiency over its entire RPM range, and in its ability to deliver constant power at any desired altitude. It is expected to be the most fuel efficient intermittent combustion engine ever conceived."
