MYT engine to be demonstrated to Society of Automotive Engineers International (SAE)
Inventor Raphial Morgado has been invited as a guest speaker a the Oregon chapter of SAE to discuss and demonstrate his Massive Yet Tiny (MYT) engine. Also working on building 5.5-inch versions to demonstrate this 40x power-to-weight ratio engine.

This looks very promising to me. Small engines with high output work well with hybrids. My 3rd gen Prius has about 150 ft. lbs. torque with the electric motors (2) and the ICE only has about 100 ft. lbs of torque. Getting more torque out of a small lightweight package would be an improvement.
Looking at Morgado's engine with the pistons moving in succession with the charge squeezed between the pistons is a clever design. Valve timing (positions) could be a limiting factor with a small format. Or how to program the intake and exhaust phases like modern engines that have electronic controls to vary timing depending on load sensors could really make this engine efficient.
