Scuderi Split Cycle Engine
Theme of scuderi
Increase the efficiency
Reduce the emission
Emissions Data
EPA Report, April 2009
Total greenhouse gas emission for 2007 is equivalent to 7,150M metric tons of CO2
Overall emissions have grown by 17.2% from 1990-2007
Other Emissions Data
Each gallon of gasoline burned creates nearly 20 lbs of CO2
1 M gallons of gasoline releases around 10,000 U.S. tons of CO2
The US releases 8 B lbs of CO2 each day from gasoline

Changing Emissions Policy
U.S. CAFE Standards
35 MPG by 2020
Increasing fuel economy standards by 40%
Automakers choosing to pay penalties rather than attempt to comply with regulations
EU Emissions Policy
Aim to cut average emissions 120 g per kilometer by 2012
48.9 MPG by 2012
Automakers are pressing the EU for a loan to meet new standards
Potential Solutions
Current Developments
Turbo charging to downsize, direct injection, variable valve control, HCCI technology, variable compression ratio technology, clean diesel
Other Designs
Rotary configurations, exhaust heat recovery, multi-fuel engines, hydrogen fuel engines, split-cycle engine technology
Hybrids, Electric & Fuel Cells
Electric, hydraulic, air; full & mild hybrids; plug-in hybrids & all electric systems,
hydrogen fuel cells

A New Direction: The Scuderi Engine
Efficiency increased by 25-50% Emissions reduced by up to 80%
Higher torque & power than conventional engines
Any type of fuel - gasoline, diesel, bio-diesel & natural gas
Not just for autos - can replace piston engines of any size - airplanes, trains, boats, motorcycles & lawnmowers
Minimal increase in manufacturing costs
Scuderi Engine
The Scuderi Air-Hybrid
By adding a small air storage tank to the Scuderi Engine, the Air-Hybrid recaptures energy in the form of compressed air
Captures & repurposes energy lost during braking (like an electric hybrid) & exhaust
All the benefits of the Scuderi Engine with further increase in vehicle efficiency
Low cost hybrid (minimal increase in manufacturing costs/carbon tank)
Higher energy storage capacity
No need to replace batteries
Simple mechanical design, easy to service
