The Scuderi Engine made its way to Beacon Hill in Boston yesterday and was introduced to state government officials and press during a ceremony inside the Massachusetts State House. State Rep. John Scibak, vice chairman of the Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies, formally addressed the audience that gathered at Nurse's Hall, just outside the Governor's Office.
In honor of the start of March Madness...To use a basketball analogy, you could say the Scuderi Engine demonstrates explosiveness in the lane with unprecedented consistency at the line. This week's official announcement of the engine's coefficient of variability (COV) could also be considered another landmark victory for Team Scuderi.
As the engine map nears completion, we continue to be pleased with the prototype's progress. Next week there will be an official announcement regarding the Scuderi Engine's "Coefficient of Variability," or COV, which is used to measure how consistent the combustion is from rotation to rotation of the crankshaft. The naturally aspirated prototype is measuring between 2.5 and 4 percent. The conventional Otto engine typically shows a similar COV, and sometimes higher. But what makes this data point more significant is that the Scuderi Cycle COV is done Firing After Top Dead Center.
If you've seen one auto show, you've seen them all. Right? Well, on the show circuit this year, we're starting to see a pattern here...
