New Technology for Piston Engines
Big-Step Engine Technology™
Finding important break-thru energy innovations to save fuel and money should be one of America’s top priorities. To date, the engine and auto industries have exhausted most avenues to improve the piston engine and little or no consideration has been given to the piston-rod mechanical linkage. Big-Step is a “leap frog” initiative by Fisher Technologies to move forward with a proven, patented linkage and modern-day break-thru for the piston-rod/crankshaft connection substantially improving the performance of conventional piston engines.
Both automobile manufacturers and engine designers historically have been mostly of the mind-set to design and develop “small-step” improvements, and such a mind-set has slowed the progress for discovering the much greater break-thru needed today. Piston engine improvements should be top priority for the American public who now have the opportunity to contribute and help advance the implementation of a new and innovative change needed today. Fisher Technologies has discovered a revolutionary break-thru which provides the necessary changes for all piston engine types including aircraft piston engines, but additional funding is required to prevent the interruption of development for a technology which should affect everyone soon with proper funding. Important funding is needed now to accelerate development instead of waiting the usual 3-6 year interval for completion.
Donations are wanted so that funding will not be the main cause to slow down a revolutionary change that will affect and change people's lives in a positive and substantial way. Our privatized development team wants to accelerate development.
To learn more about an innovative and progressive technology which can improve all our lives, review our website (ref. summary below) and see for yourself just how relatively simple changes for conventional engines provide substantial benefits for everyone. Benefits like 2-3 times present-day fuel economies that result in more than 100 mpg for smaller vehicles and 50 mpg or more for much larger vehicles. Greater fuel economies for diesel engines are especially realized because the slower burning diesel fuels become even more efficient than gasoline because of the increased piston dwell during combustion. Other benefits affecting all piston engines are significant power increases and much fewer emissions because of the substantial increases in combustion efficiencies provided by the added piston dwell. Donations to maintain the development for such a progressive technology are very important and most welcomed. Once you have reviewed our website you will have seen an animation of just how all this works, and will also find out how you can donate to maintain and perhaps accelerate our development and implementation.
Thank you for your consideration.

Simplicity of the Yoke-Arm for Such
Large Performance Benefits |
Fisher
Technologies has developed a modern-day performance increase for all piston engines which
dramatically improves
the efficiency for conventional
engines, both gasoline and diesel. This
unique cutting edge technology provides
substantial increases in fuel economy, significant
reductions in exhaust emissions and more power
just by adding a "yoke-arm"
between the piston rod and power-shaft. A
simple mechanical combination, never before
developed for piston engines, uses a unique
yoke-arm linkage that connects the piston rod to the
crankshaft, yet leaves the remaining mechanical arrangement
for conventional piston engines relatively
unchanged.
This new arrangement
uses a unique yoke-arm which substantially increases
piston
dwell during combustion to significantly
increase combustion efficiencies.
Surprisingly, this simple modification
not only provides large gains in combustion
efficiencies, but also greatly decreases
piston rod angularity and the associated piston
friction. The result is superior fuel economy,
increased power and reduced emissions
for both conventional crankshaft powered gasoline
and diesel engines. Most all conventional
engines can be accommodated such as single-cylinder,
V-type, in-line, horizontally-opposed and
radial with no restrictions to engine size
or application.
The low cost and simplicity to implement the
Fisher yoke-arm surprisingly translates to
large performance benefits for both piston
engines and compressors. As it turns out,
piston driven air compressors and air conditioners
also become a viable application with significant
increases in mechanical efficiencies that
require much less power. This new technology
offers an easy approach to substantially increase
engine performance and fuel economy while
also reducing the engine size through increased
power. Diesel engines will especially gain
a large advantage because the slower burning
diesel fuels derive great benefit from the
added piston dwell during combustion. Such
large increases in piston dwell are not possible
with conventional engines or the many other
experimental engine technologies you might
have read about. The Fisher yoke-arm technology
for piston engines has finally achieved the
much needed combustion efficiencies with the
necessary simplicity, low cost and superior
performance that so many other attempts using mechanical arrangements have failed
to do.

Summary of Benefits
|
The
essence of this advancement is the dramatic
increase in combustion and mechanical efficiencies
just by using a simple modification for
the piston rod/crankshaft linkage. It is
well known that fuel savings occur at slower
speeds and lower engine rpm which correlate
to increased piston dwell. The added dwell
provided by the yoke-arm makes the engine
think it is running at a slower speed. Increased
piston
dwell provides this "virtual"
slower speed advantage, but without the
loss in power associated with conventional
engines running at reduced speeds and lower rpm.
The fuel savings made possible by the Fisher
yoke-arm might be compared to the effects
of a “super” overdrive for automobiles
during highway driving. Of course, such
a super overdrive with the same fuel savings
and power as Fisher does not exist in today’s
transmissions. However, those familiar with
the benefits of overdrive might consider
that the Fisher Technology in combination
with the transmission overdrives used today,
will realize increases in fuel economies
and savings that will be quite astonishing.
Also, the substantial power gains and significant
reductions in exhaust emissions will be
a great addition to the substantial fuel
economies.

The Problem
|
|
The Automobile Industry and the many other
various engine manufacturers need improved engine performance
in keeping up with the necessary changes to
protect our wallets and environment. Both
the Automotive and Engine Industries are now
struggling to comply with Government requirements
and are falling behind in keeping up with
proposed future regulations and Government
mandates that will provide the necessary advancements
to protect us and the Earth’s environment.
The Automotive Industry has requested that
the US Government reduce the fuel economy
and emission requirements for future vehicles
because, by their own admission, they do not
have the technology to meet such fuel economy
and pollution mandates for the forseeable
future. Fisher's yoke-arm has changed all
of this. |

The Solution
|
The
yoke-arm “linkage” offers a
solution to the Automotive Industry and
piston engine manufacturers by providing
the necessary advancement to help us all
keep up with the much needed improvements
required to protect the Earth's environment.
Those that have influence within the automotive,
trucking, marine, aircraft, or motorcycle
industries, and especially the diesel engine
industry, can email
us relevant contact names, suggestions and/or
comments to help us implement this technology.
A technology that saves an enormous amount
of fuel while helping to protect our Planet.
Relevant contacts within the Departments
of Energy and Transportation, the EPA or
other environmental groups will help us
advance this much needed technology. Please
email
your suggested and relevant contacts.

Continued Development Required
|
Ongoing
development for the Fisher Yoke-Arm will
be necessary to ensure that this innovative
and creative solution can be transferred
or “handed over” to the automotive
and engine manufacturers this year or next.
When this occurs, much less development
by engine manufacturers will be required
because most of the preliminary design work
has been completed and should “jump
start” these important industries
into production. The yoke-arm linkage advancement
will help the Automotive Industry because
their focus and priorities have been on
other means to improve fuel economy and
emissions. The yoke-arm linkage for vehicles
and worldwide engine applications will provide
dramatic energy savings while helping to
conserve a most important and limited natural
resource, petroleum.
A first
prototype was constructed which produced very encouraging dyno test results. Fisher Technologies and is currently constructing
a second and larger prototype to obtain
additional data to support what dyno testing and computer
modeling has already shown to be a very viable advancement.
Our R&D has been ongoing for some time
to find ways to substantially improve the
performance of the piston engine which has
resulted in the yoke-arm linkage design.
However, additional funding is required
to ensure that our ongoing development will
not be stopped, and important funding through
continued contributions
will greatly help ensure the completion
of timely development and quicker implementation
for the Vehicle Industry.
