550 HP and 2500 lb-ft of torque at 1200 RPM New design of engine. Great photos...
Our favorite engine at the 2009 SAE World Congress was this awesome piece of engineering from Vengeance Power. It borrows concepts from several different kinds of engines and improves on them in certain aspects. Think of it like a sliding vane superchager improved in every possible way and made to burn fuel.

Need more info on it. It claims that no transmission is needed but it sounds like that thing can't spin up very fast so...? I dunno.
cool though

It isn't very big I believe it should be able to spin up relatively fast. It's just a turbine but like all turbines they don't get good efficiency and power without high rpm. I wonder about the torque number at that speed.
what really kills me is that they claim 80% the cost of a conventional piston heat engine. look at all of the machining done on it. I dont know about that..........
