The whole revolves around ENERGY- generation, usage, loss, gain, conversion and what not. Engines are among those devices, which contribute and participate largely in the process. The conventional engines used now convert chemical energy to mechanical energy through friction and greater the friction, greater is the energy loss. Mike Brickley, a Texas based inventor has come up with a new engine that reduces this energy loss.

Brickley’s engine has a couple of pistons and bearings assembled in way that fabricates 35% less friction compared to the usual ones. This patented car engine has 15% to 20% additional fuel efficiency and cuts down CO2 emissions by 15% to 20%. The engine can pull any automobile from trains, tractors to trucks and cars that run on diesel and four or more cylinder engines.

Brickley’s creation was reported in the New York Times, Year of Ideas issue, 2008 and he hopes the people of the future would accept his creation. In addition, why wouldn’t they? Nobody would ever discourage something that’s so advanced and environmentally friendly.
