Bosch Engineering to Assist Scuderi Group in Developing Air-Hybrid Engine Prototypes
WEST SPRINGFIELD, MA--(Marketwire - February 20, 2008) - 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 few
control elements costing only a few hundred dollars, the Scuderi engine can
recover 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. For more
