Potential Markets
Motor Vehicles
The most significant market is motor vehicles. The CCE
will revolutionise the automotive industry by allowing
sleeker designs and more compact powerplants. The
increased control over combustion will lead the way in
lower emissions and increased fuel efficiency.
International governments are tightening emission laws
which place REVETEC in a very good market position.
The compact design is also favourable with
Electric/Petrol hybrid vehicles, where performance and
compactness is an issue.
Motorcycles
The CCE advantages in motor cycles are similar to other
target markets, for e.g. light, compact and good power
to weight ratio. The CCE is around half the height of
current engines.
Currently, REVETEC and Rewaco are working together to
develop the Revetec engine to fit into the Rewaco series
of Trikes. REVETEC is considering several supply options
at the moment, including manufacturing in Australia
and/or in the USA. REVETEC and Rewaco are working
closely together to test a Trike with a REVETEC engine.
Rewaco's Chairman stated that he is committed to using
our CCE engine exclusively in all Rewaco products.
Marine
Due to the CCE’s compactness and lightness it is also
suited to marine use. Whether the CCE technology is used
in small craft in the form of an outboard or it is
applied to larger ships, the CCE provides a more compact
and light engine which increases available payload
space. The CCE is also easily converted to run in
reverse for multi-engined applications.
Aviation (Small and Ultralight)
Due to the CCE‘s compactness and lightness it is
perfectly suited to ultra-light and small aviation use.
A major requirement for aviation is to have good power
to weight ratio. Also, feedback from ultra-light
aircraft engineers states that a slower shaft speed
while retaining good torque is more beneficial than what
is currently being used.
CCE can achieve the desired characteristics. Utilising
the hollow shaft arrangement allows easy control of
blade pitch via the centre of the shaft if required,
reducing external componentary, or for the utilisation
of a counter-rotating propeller.
Power Generation
Reducing size and weight of existing reciprocating
engines allows a more portable and space saving unit to
be manufactured. Changing the internal dimensions of the
CCE allows the desired RPM to be achieved to suit the
application efficiently. Of course a more efficient
engine is greatly desirable in this market.
Pumps (Peristaltic)
The CCE has the advantage of allowing a hollow output
shaft and is also able to be mounted with the output
shaft being vertical, which opens up specialised
applications and markets such as replacing the diesel
engine in peristaltic pumps. Currently, engines drive
these hollow shafted pumps in the way of a 90 degree
bevel gear drive.
The engines are mounted on a frame driving the pump via
a drift shaft. This poses a problem of torque twisting
and vibration and also being bulky in design. The CCE
design eliminates these problems.
