Fisher
Technologies has developed a modern day engine
that provides dramatic improvements in the
performance of both gasoline and diesel engines.
This unique and cutting edge technology provides
substantial increases in fuel economy, significant
reductions in exhaust emissions and more power
all just by changing the linkage between the
piston rod and power-shaft. A simple mechanical
combination, never before developed for piston
engine applications, uses a unique “yoke-arm”
that connects the piston rod to the crankshaft,
yet leaves the mechanical arrangement for
conventional piston engines relatively unchanged.
This new arrangement, patent protected, uses
a yoke-arm to substantially increase piston
dwell during combustion considerably increasing
combustion and fuel efficiencies. Surprisingly,
this simple modification not only provides
large increases in combustion efficiencies,
but also significantly decreases piston rod
angularity and piston friction. The result
is superior fuel economy and increased power
with reduced emissions for conventional crankshaft
powered gasoline and diesel engines. Most
all conventional engines can be accommodated
such as the 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 also become
a viable application with significant increases
in mechanical efficiencies. 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 engine applications will especially
gain a large advantage because the slower
burning diesel fuels derive great benefits
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 and low cost
that so many other attempted 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 relatively simple modification
for the piston rod/crankshaft linkage. It
is well known that fuel savings occur at
slower speeds or lower engine rpm which
correlates to increased piston dwell. Such
added dwell 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 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 are quite astonishing.
Also, the significant power gains and substantial
reductions in exhaust emissions are a great
addition to the superior fuel economies.

The Problem
|
|
The Automobile Industry and the many other
various engine manufacturers are lagging behind
in keeping up with the necessary requirements
to protect our 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 changes 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 distant future.
Fisher's yoke-arm has changed all of this. |

The Solution
|
The
yoke-arm “linkage” offers a
solution to the Automotive Industry and
all piston engine manufacturers by providing
the necessary breakthrough to help 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
us your suggested and relevant contacts.

Continued Development Required
|
Our
ongoing development for the Fisher's 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 soon. When this
occurs, there will be much less development
required because most of the preliminary
design work has been completed which should
“jump start” these important
industries into production. The yoke-arm
linkage advancement will help the Automotive
Industry since their focus and priorities
have been on other means to improve fuel
economy and emissions. The yoke-arm linkage
technology for vehicles and worldwide engine
applications will provide dramatic energy
savings while helping to conserve a most
important and limited natural resource,
petroleum.
Fisher Technologies has produced a first
prototype and is currently constructing
a second and larger prototype to obtain
additional data to support what computer
modeling has shown to be a viable breakthrough.
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 implementation for the Vehicle Industry.
