他的模型制作思想比较值得学习

Over the past 30 years Robin Humphries has pondered the problem of converting the theoretical efficiency of rotary motion (rather than the traditional crank-shaft engine) into an actual working engine.

Having explored many different ideas in 2002 Robin made a wooden model of his basic idea and showed it to his friend Mike Endean and John Nicholson of Nicholson Maclaren to see what they made of it. They were sufficiently enthusiastic that Robin decided to set about building his concept, which he names after his wife, from his workshop on his farm in Hampshire. Robin set up Shane Engines Limited and commenced with the manufacture of its first engine – Shane I. It was a case of design as you build and by September 2003 there was a working engine which produced Torque of 63 ft lbs at 2,500 rpm giving 30 bhp.

How does it work?
The principle of the rotor is that it allows 4 strokes to occur in 360 rotation doubling the amount of power strokes in either 4 stroke or 2 stroke.
This means that in the 2 cylinder, horizontally opposed format, the 4 stroke produces 2 pulses per revolution and the 2 stroke 4 pulses per revolution.
The rotor is perfectly balanced. The pistons are horizontally opposed and counter balancing each other. The simultaneous firing sequence complements the opposing pistons to maintaining a near perfect balance factor. These features contribute to an engine producing over double the torque per revolution (as compared with a standard 4 stroke crank engine) with turbine smooth power.
The lack of vibration can be clearly demonstrated as during the bench tests (where the engine was rigidly mounted) a 50 pence coin could stand upright on the engine when running.
