Innovative internal combustion engine that incorporates a unidirectional rotary design and obeys to perfection the Otto cycle giving it an efficiency of 78%.

Objective

The Anyoon Rotary Engine is a concept engine that incorporates a unidirectional rotary design and obeys the Otto cycle to perfection. The engine allows for all four phases of the Otto cycle to be optimised for better efficiency without losing power. Anyoon can boast an exceptional break thermal efficiency of more than 78%, achieved by: constant volume heat addition (CVHA); a higher expansion ratio; internal cooling by water injection. CVHA can provide 50% more power while using the same amount of fuel and thereby more efficient (15% of total fuel energy is gained). By implementing a higher expansion ratio, through the Atkinson Cycle, a 30% improvement in efficiency is achieved (9% of total fuel energy). The internal cooling by water injection creates an 80% improvement in efficiency by reducing cooling loss by 50% (15% of total fuel energy) and exhaust loss by 30% (9% of total fuel energy). Assuming the efficiency of the current petrol engine is 30%; the new engine can provide efficiency of 78% (50+30+80=160%). As affect Anyoon can reduce fuel consumption by 1/3 and Co2 emissions by 50%.
Anyoon is being further developed within by SUMs who require furthering funding to: demonstrate and validate the performance of the engine in an operational environment; run a fully operational commercial pilot with fleet testing for product qualification; industrialisation of Anyoon, including the design for manufacturing and assembly and the optimisation of costs: and scaling up production to 20,000 units.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

SUM SRLS
Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
