Hi Fox, Not all split-cycle
Hi Fox,
Not all split-cycle are alike. In fact the Tour cycle is VERY different from lets say Zajac or Scuderi.The Tour design does not have a "connecting tunnel" and the compression ratio in the current prototypes is 8:1
The following text is the website under technology:
"The head-to-head configuration permits the direct coupling of the Cold and Hot cylinders and eliminates the need for a connecting tube. The absence of a connecting tube ensures minimal pressure loss and the dynamic and efficient transfer of the complete compressed charge between the Cold and Hot cylinders."
You can find on the web news section more articles that explain the technology potential.
