The QuasiTurbine
by Gilles
Amidst myriad, and many times unsupportable, claims of technological breakthroughs capable -- fuel cells being at the top of this contention --of inducing vehicular design and engineering paradigm shifts, we have concluded that the Saint-Hilaire "Quasiturbine" may very well provide impetus to retire the piston engine.
The Quasiturbine (Qurbine) is a « Positive Displacement » turbine alternative.
Suitable as a double-circuits Rotary Motor or Expander for compressed air, steam and other fluids,
or (later) as an advanced Internal Combustion Rotary Engine, as well as (later) for Compressor of various thermodynamic cycles.
The Quasiturbine is a compact, low weight and high torque machine with top efficiency, specially in power modulation applications.
