The supercharged two-stroke opposed piston engine with high efficiency thank to the addition of an ERV rotary valve which allows the duration of the exhaust port to be varied
Find Out MoreThe ERV rotary valve allows you to change the start, close and duration of the exhaust port quickly, which in the 2-stroke engines produced up to now is not possible without changing the position of the port itself and in any case it would not be possible have a complete closure of the same, which is necessary on the AETHER NYX engine being supercharged. The exhaust port allows the compressed air coming from the compressor to be retined through the intake port.
AETHERNYX is a supercharged 2-stroke engine so each cycle is completed in a 360-degree rotation and therefore this already allows an increase in power compared to 4-stroke engines, working with 2 pistons in opposition allows you to have a greater overall surface area compared to the 4-stroke engines where only one piston is pushed by the pressure inside the cylinder. A further advantage compared to a 4-stroke is the absence of the head and all the valve train components, therefore a notable reduction in production costs, engine weight and an increase in reliability. The improvement in engine performance therefore allows for a reduction in consumption if applied to current vehicles, also making it innovative from an ecological point of view as it can also be powered with innovative fuels such as hydrogen or synthetic hydrocarbons.
In a world where the control of emissions and the reduction of consumption has become extremely important, AETHERNYX is a simple and effective answer that can find application in the automotive, naval, military, and aeronautical sectors.
