An entry into the "Post Piston Engine Era" for Optimum Efficiency and Environmental Benefits

The Piston engine perhaps unquestionably, has been at the center of mechanical energy conversion for almost 2 centuries and as such, has been a pivotal technology in our development and transformation into a modern society. But why are piston engine replacement attempts representative of such a long sequence of failure? Is it so difficult to do better? In this vein, human intellect has managed to create at least 3 obstacles: First, sine wave crankshaft motion has been long assumed as the best way to convert linear motion into rotary motion, and was never questioned. Second, the historical record shows that early internal combustion engine concepts were first “ad hoc proposed” and later built and tested, rather than being conceived for a specific solution (Otto engine historians may di ffer with this view). Third, our great theoretical physicists had a preference for atoms and cosmos, and they completely overlooked the need for engine theory and concept design guidelines. [via]
