Zired as an engine
Zired is a new rotary displacement machine (European patent). The engine can rotate in either direction (left or right), and the rotor blades (vanes) are opened or closed by the rotor itself with an accuracy of 10 μm. The movable ceramic seals with variable contact pressure (patented) ensure optimal sealing of the chambers. The engine impresses with its ingeniously simple design consisting of only eighteen different, easy-to-construct components (plus ball bearings and seals). Ten of them are moving and eight are fixed. The same device can, but does not have to, be used as a motor, pump or compressor without modification. This means that one device has an enormous variety of possible applications.
As an engine, the device behaves exactly like an electric motor, but the electric motor can only be driven by electricity (electromagnetism). The Zired motor, on the other hand, can be driven with liquids or gases (also steam). The rotational speed is directly proportional to the flow of the drive medium.
But what exactly makes the Zired engine so powerful? It is designed in such a way that it is the only motor in existence that not only rotates concentrically, but also uses rotational forces that form a perfect force couple that never becomes zero and is absolutely perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Not even the electric motor can do that, because although it also rotates concentrically, the rotational forces are at a variable angle to the axis of rotation, which leads to dead centers. In addition, the Zired engine has four vanes that can be opened and closed mechanically driven with very little friction and an accuracy of up to 0.01 mm.
The Zired engine is the best device for converting linear motion into circular motion and vice versa. The engine is also water-heated. The cold water produced by the expansion of the compressed air can be heated using various methods to minimize energy losses. Nevertheless, the theoretical efficiency is always above 90% due to the special designs and low friction losses.
The main advantages of the Zired engine over combustion engines and electric motors are the following:
1. Better torque behaviour at slow and fast revolutions. The Zired engine can deliver all of its power with just one revolution.
2. Better temperature behaviour
3. The same Zired engine can deliver up to 12000 Newtonmeter of torque without changing its design (weighs about 100 kg).
On the other hand, similar electric or internal combustion engines have to be much larger and heavier to deliver the same torque.
4. The Zired engine has almost the same efficiency as an electric motor and is therefore far better than an internal combustion engine.
5. When the axis is blocked (e.g. when the load is too great), the Zired engine has a low temperature rise and very little energy is lost.
The opposite happens with an electric motor; it loses all energy in the form of heat and must be switched off immediately.
6. The Zired engine is easier than any other type of engine to build and is made from only eco-friendly and 100% recyclable materials (steel alloys and ceramics).
7. The Zired engine emits only clean air while driving and does not emit any harmful electromagnetic or other kind of waves into the environment.
8. The Zired engine is the only engine in the world that has no dead centers and no idle. It also has no slip between the stator and rotor.
