V-Compound Engine

grabcad

This project aims to develop a cost-effective V engine variant with high efficiency. By utilizing the low pressure cylinders for compounding operations in a V engine, this innovative design harnesses combustion gas energy from high pressure cylinders. Leveraging century-old V-Compound principles from steam engines but never applied to internal combustion engines, this alternative to downsized engines can be produced alongside standard V8 engines, keeping costs low.
