		Vortex is pleased to announce the launch of the new Minirok 60cc, the engine with which Vortex enters the world of the younger racer.
		It is a piston port engine cooled air free typical of the karting school, where the body and the finning have been dimensioned in order to obtain the greatest thermic and dimensional stability, paying particular attention to the most stressed part near the exhaust.
		The constructive architecture of the engine is that of a high performance engine: the gravity chill castings, the cast iron liner with a great thickness, the head with the radial fins, the crankcase with wide air passages for the cooling are only some of the characteristics that have been moved into this project.

	Atmospheric Vortex Engine \| MERLib.org (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Atmospheric Vortex Engine (AVE) is a process for capturing the mechanical energy which could be produced when heat is carried upward by convection in the atmosphere.
		The intensity of the vortex is regulated by restricting the flow of air with dampers located upstream of the deflectors.
		It is estimated that it would be possible to establish a self-sustaining vortex to demonstrate the feasibility of the process with a station 30 m in diameter under ideal conditions.

	Inventor Kim Zorzi
		The development of new engine concepts for light aircraft must be addressed because of current government regulations outlawing the use of 2-stroke combustion engines in the near future.
		Physically, the difference between conventional jet propulsion and the vortex thruster is that in the former, the net force generated and the power requirements are determined by the same axial velocity component.
		In the vortex thruster, a large net force is generated primarily by the tangential velocity component, but only a relatively small axial flow rate, and hence, relatively small power is required.

	Engine Swap Info
		In general, an engine can be legally swapped into a vehicle if the engine is the same year as the truck, or newer, and all stock engine emissions gear is retained.
		Depending on engine configuration it may not be possible to use a mechanical fuel pump and an electric one may have to be substituted.
		When performing an engine swap it is possible to either use the original Toyota power steering pump or use the one that came on the new engine.

	A Proposal for a new Renewable Energy Source: the Atmospheric Vortex Engine \| EnergyBulletin.net \| Peak Oil News ...
		The intensity of the vortex would be regulated by restricting the flow of air with dampers located upstream of the deflectors.
		The vortex would be stopped by restricting the airflow to deflectors with direct orientation and by opening the airflow to deflectors with reverse orientation.
		The unit cost of electrical energy produced with a vortex engine would be much less than the cost of the most economical alternative because no fuel or heat collector is required.

		General Vortex was formed in 1994 by Borissov, his brother Alexander, and Ken Kramer, a self-described "serial entrepreneur" with a degree in mechanical engineering from Rice University.
		The Jirnov Vortex and traditional gas turbine engines have the same four components -- a combustion chamber, a compressor, a turbine and a heat exchanger.
		Kramer and Borissov claim the Jirnov engine is 58 percent to 70 percent fuel-efficient compared to 30 percent for coal or steam combustion, 35 percent for gas turbines, 50 for fuel cells -- and about 20 percent for auto engines.

		The vortex converts the heat stored in the upper tank to energy and pumps cooled water up to be reheated.
		One difference in fossil fuels is that you have to carry around with you the mass in which the energy is contained even if you are not ready to use it yet- an obvious fishbone as far as efficiency goes.
		Others found that the engines were so good that they ended up putting them in racing cars- The Cooper Climax is still recognised as one of the best for its time.

		The average upward convective heat flux at the bottom atmosphere is 150 W/m2, one sixth of this heat could be converted to work while it is carried upward by convection.
		The concept of the vortex or convection turbine engine has been around for some time and is a favorite in PopMechanics/PopScience magazines.
		An inventor or developer must have independent sources of finance in order to produce a vortex or convection tower or field of towers that would create enough electricity to sell into the national grid, thus repaying the cost of manufacture and development.

	Small Hybrid Rocket Engines Fabricated via X-Ray Lithography
		The proposed engines would be too small for conventional machining, making it necessary to fabricate the engines (including the fuel/flow-channeler cylinders) by use of x-ray lithography.
