- Description
- The Government intends to award on a sole source basis to Mechanical Solutions, 1719 Route 10 East, Suite 305, Parsippany, NJ the task to design and develop a 100 horsepower 350-5000 rpm version of the KULL engine. Use computer-aided engineering analysis to demonstrate the engine's cost- effecttiveness and practicality for use in applications such as ground vehicles, in power modules or in air vehicles. Demonstrat by analysis the appropriate functions and practicality of engine cylinder valve-less aspiration, commercial off the shelf fuel delivery and ignition, and fuel/air mixing in a rotatting combustion chamber. Demonstrate using tribological principles, and through extrapolation from conventional engine behavior, that the friction losses and wear rates will be acceptably low in the KULL engine load bearing and sealing components in relative motion the linkage bearings, planetary gear set and piston rings. Document the engine design analysis, anticipated develop- ment issues and any limitations. Draft engine construction plan in preparation of Phase II. Note 22 and 26 apply.
