The first ignition within the FPLG’s combustion chamber has been achieved in connection with the project „HOMEFREE II“, which is a collaboration project of the DLR (German Aerospace Center – Vehicle Concept Institute), FKFS (Research Institute of Automotive Engineering and Vehicle Engines, Stuttgart) and SWEngin. The test with a initially hydraulic engine did work right away and got remarkable results. […]

During the last few weeks, „Christmas time“ has returned to SWEngin frequently: Alongside the here depicted bottom parts,  a lot more components from different suppliers will be arriving these days. Altogether they are going to build the first complete FPLG system which has been developed by SWEngin: the demonstrator (pre-prototype) with opposed piston. The unwrapping of the components made of […]
