Default Variable electromagnetic internal combustion engine.

Youtube video explaining what the deal is. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktaqUCtQgUc)

Actual detailed plans. (http://tinyurl.com/5hvzfx)

Designs for some revolutionary engine or something. A former totseian told me to post this thread for him. I have no idea if it is legit. I opened up the .zip and there are actual plans in there, but I am no physicist and have no idea of it's merit.

His explanation:

"like a gauss cannon

electromagnets in series

moves the piston"

Whatever. Will it work?

What kind of files are in the zip? Can you at least post one of the files or a screenshot of something? I'm not about to dl & unzip something that I have no clue wtf it may be based on someone's word. How do we know you're not just trolling us trying to install spyware or a trojan on our computers? Don't you call me paranoid.
Would we remember who said former totsean is?

Looks like a very inefficient method of doing exactly what a hybrid does. Using electricity and magnetic fields to assist an ICE.

It probably would work.

But not nearly as well as a plain ol' electric motor.
