LiquidPiston careers
The LiquidPiston 'X' engine is an advanced rotary internal combustion engine that is fuel efficient, extremely compact and lightweight, durable, quiet, and has near-zero vibration.
The X-Mini engine is a 70cc gasoline SI engine, the size of a grapefruit, rated at 3-5 HP, weighing only 4 lbs. This engine is the company's most mature technology demonstrator - achieving 50% better fuel economy than comparable displacement piston engines. This engine can be used in generators, chainsaws, mopeds, UAVs, etc.
In 2015 the company completed a $1M DARPA Feasibility study, and the company expects up to $12.5M in DoD contracts to develop diesel versions of its X engine for generator and UAV applications in 2016.
The "X4" concept is a 30kW Diesel engine achieving 50% better fuel economy than a piston engine, in a 10x8x8" package, weighing 25lbs. While developed initially for the DoD, this engine will have applications including as a range-extending power source to increase range of an EV.
