      <title>Scuderi Group Podcast: Sal Scuderi on Cylinders</title>
      <description><![CDATA[As the Scuderi Engine continues to draw interest and attention around the world, we continue to hear a few of the same questions again and again. One of the most frequently asked questions we hear is this one: If the Scuderi Engine uses two cylinders to do the same thing that a four-stroke engine does with one, why doesn't it take twice the number of cylinders to power the Scuderi Engine?  In this podcast, Sal Scuderi explains why.

      <title>Scuderi Engine - Heat Management</title>
      <description><![CDATA[In any internal combustion engine design, it can be as much about controlling the explosions as it is controlling the resulting heat. In a conventional engine, because all four strokes of the Otto Cycle take place within the same cylinder, the surrounding air that enters on the intake stroke assists in the cooling process. So as casual observers of the Scuderi Engine design peruse the split-cycle configuration, many wonder how the engine keeps from overheating when there is no 
ambient air entering the power cylinder where all the firing takes place.
In a podcast released today, Sal Scuderi explains how the Scuderi Engine manages the heat issue.

      <title>Scuderi Group Patent Portfolio Continues Growth Worldwide</title>
      <description><![CDATA[With only a few weeks to go until the first public unveiling of the highly anticipated Scuderi Engine, the Scuderi Group announced today it has secured patent protection for its critical valve technologies. The company now has more than 200 patents, including 72 issued in more than 50 countries in its global patent portfolio. 

A model of the first Scuderi Engine prototype will be formally introduced to the automotive industry April 20 in Detroit at the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) World Congress. When fully developed through its forthcoming Turbo-Charged and Air-Hybrid added components, the technology is expected to be the most significant advancement in internal combustion engines since the Otto Cycle over 130 years ago. Further, the engine emits up to 80 percent less nitrogen oxides than any vehicle on the road today.

The latest patents represent further protection of the engine’s intellectual property as the Scuderi Group enters an important time for the technology and its licensing efforts. 

"The valve train is one of the most critical parts of a working engine, which is why these patents are so significant to the progress of the Scuderi Engine," said Scuderi Group Vice President and Patent Attorney Stephen Scuderi. "The better the valve train works, the better the engine works. These latest patents cover the technology allowing the Scuderi Engine to run in all conditions." 


Three Scuderi Engine valve technologies recently patented worldwide:

1.	Valve Seating Control Device that adjusts valve speed to prevent wear and damage in a camless split-cycle engine

2.	Valve Lash Adjustments that adjust valve speed to prevent wear and damage in a cam-driven system

3.	Valve Seat Insert designed to accommodate the high impact stress of outwardly opening valves in the Scuderi Split-Cycle Engine


In an effort to further strengthen the Scuderi patent operations, the company also announced the appointment of Patent Agent Philip Scuderi. As the newest member of the Scuderi team, he played a key role in securing this latest round of patents. Prior to joining the Scuderi Group, Philip was a highly rated and award-winning Patent Examiner at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. In his new position, Philip will continue assisting in the company’s efforts to safeguard Scuderi Engine IP, investors and licensees. 

The basic Scuderi Engine is a split-cycle design that divides the four strokes of a standard engine over a paired combination of one (intake/compression) cylinder and one (power/exhaust) cylinder. By firing after top-dead center, it produces highly efficient and clean-burning combustion with one cylinder, and compressed air with the other. These two cylinders perform their respective functions once per crankshaft revolution. Besides the improvements in efficiency and emissions, test results have shown that the Scuderi Engine is capable of producing more torque than conventional gasoline and diesel engines.]]></description>

      <title>Scuderi Prototype Podcast with Sal Scuderi</title>
      <description><![CDATA[
First Scuderi Engine Prototype Assembled

When Fully Developed, Engine Expected to be Most Significant Advancement in Internal Combustion in Over 130 Years


WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. USA – 9 February 2009 – After several years of extensive research, development, and patent preparation, the Scuderi Group announced today the assembly of the proof-of-concept prototype for its Scuderi Split-Cycle Engine.  The highly anticipated prototype will undergo further testing and analysis and will be officially unveiled to the automotive industry April 20 at the 2009 SAE World Congress in Detroit.

The one-liter, naturally aspirated gasoline prototype is expected to produce up to 80% less toxins than a typical internal combustion engine. And when fully developed with its turbo charged and air hybrid components, it is expected to achieve significant gains in fuel efficiency – the most since the inception of the Otto Cycle over 130 year ago.  The introduction of the Scuderi Split-Cycle technology to the engine manufacturing industry is significant because it gives OEMs a new, cleaner burning solution to comply with tough emissions and efficiency standards going into effect around the world – without having to make significant investments to retool or modify current production processes.  The original Scuderi Engine design was invented by Carmelo Scuderi (1925-2002).

The Scuderi Group expects further advancement of the technology once the greater engineering community begins working with the engine and makes modifications and improvements that will most likely take the efficiency to even higher levels.

"This is a very important milestone for the Scuderi group as well as the Scuderi family," said Sal Scuderi, president of the Scuderi Group. "This has been seven years in the making and we’re only just beginning to realize the potential that this technology holds.  We are eager to conclude licensing discussions with OEMs, so we can see the engine come to life in a variety of vehicles and finally be able to give the driving public a more fuel-efficient and environmentally-friendly driving option."

The basic Scuderi Engine is a split-cycle design that divides the four strokes of a conventional combustion cycle over two paired cylinders: one intake/compression cylinder and one power/exhaust cylinder.  Additionally, by firing after top-dead center, it produces highly efficient, clean combustion with one cylinder and compressed air in the other.  Unlike conventional engines that require two revolutions to complete a single combustion cycle, the Scuderi Engine’s combustion cycle is completed once per revolution.  Besides the improvements in efficiency and emissions, test results have shown that the Scuderi Engine is capable of producing more torque than conventional gasoline and diesel engines.

      <title>Sal Scuderi on The McCain Challenge and Batteries vs. Air </title>
      <description><![CDATA[Republican presidential contender John McCain is calling for a 300 million dollar government prize for the person who can design a better electric car battery. But could the best battery for hybrid engines actually be … an air tank? 

McCain says the prize would be awarded for "the development of a battery package that has the size, capacity, cost, and power to leapfrog the commercially available plug-in hybrids or electric cars.” But what about air? 

Instead of using an electric battery, the Scuderi Air-Hybrid Engine stores energy in a small air tank that’s attached to the engine, in the form of compressed air that’s generated by the engine itself.  

In this podcast, Scuderi Group President Sal Scuderi talks about the McCain challenge and the special advantages of the Scuderi Air-Hybrid Engine.
