Over $50M Raised:
Invest in the Multi-Fuel Engine Built for a Multi-Billion-Dollar Market
Founded by a visionary father and son duo, LiquidPiston is disrupting a 100+ year industry with a patented rotary engine designed for defense, aerospace, and industrial markets. With major crowdfunding support, millions in government contracts, and 113 patents protecting their platform, they’re inviting investors to join the next generation of power innovation.
Every $1 invested can help unlock up to $3 of non-dilutive Army funding.
Up to $3.5M of this raise can be matched by up to $7M in Army SBIR funding through the Army CATALYST program if the Company can acquire $3.5M in funding from a non-SBIR Army Transition Partner.*
*There is no guarantee the Company will be able to secure funding from either a non-SBIR Army partner or the Army SBIR CATALYST program. However, the Company believes the Army Transition Partner (i.e. to support Army Next Generation Command and Control), may recognize this as a highly leveraged opportunity to help resolve a signature need established by the Army.

the problem
The Engine Hasn’t Changed in Over a Century. Until Now.
Traditional engines are heavy, inefficient, and complex. Demand is increasing for efficient power delivered in a compact package.
Emerging technologies can’t rely on legacy power systems anymore.
The patented X-Engine solves the many challenges of the old Wankel rotary, including cooling, sealing, lubrication, emissions and efficiency. We are creating advanced power systems for the next generation of mobility. Â
THE MARKET
$400B+ Internal Combustion Engine Market
With a focus on defense, aerospace, and industrial power systems, we are currently expanding our licensing across all of those markets. Ultimately this technology could have applications in marine, UAV, urban mobility, and automotive markets as well.

PERKS
Investment Incentive and Bonuses
Your belief in our vision deserves more, and in recognition of that support, we are extending a limited-time package of premium perks.
Time-based perks
Early Bird Bonus
Receive 15% bonus shares when you invest within the first 72 hours of launch
*In order to receive perks from an investment, one must submit a single investment in the same offering that meets the minimum perk requirement. Bonus shares from perks will not be granted if an investor submits multiple investments that, when combined, meet the perk requirement. All perks occur when the offering is completed.
Crowdfunding investments made through a self-directed IRA cannot receive non-bonus share perks due to tax laws. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) prohibits self-dealing transactions in which the investor receives an immediate, personal financial gain on investments owned by their retirement account. As a result, an investor must refuse those non-bonus share perks because they would be receiving a benefit from their IRA account. ‍ The 10% StartEngine Venture Club Bonus ‍ ‍
LiquidPiston will offer 10% additional bonus shares for all investments that are committed by investors that are eligible for the StartEngine Venture Club.
This means eligible StartEngine shareholders will receive a 10% bonus for any shares they purchase in this offering. For example, if you buy 100 shares of common stock at $13.50/ share, you will receive 110 shares of common stock, meaning you'll own 110 shares for $1,350.00 Fractional shares will not be distributed and share bonuses will be determined by rounding down to the nearest whole share.
This 10% Bonus is only valid during the investor's eligibility period. Investors eligible for this bonus will also have priority if they are on a waitlist to invest and the company surpasses its maximum funding goal. They will have the first opportunity to invest should room in the offering become available if prior investments are canceled or fail.
Investors will receive the highest single bonus they are eligible for among the bonuses based on the amount invested and the time of offering elapsed (if any). Eligible investors will also receive the Venture Club bonus and the Loyalty Bonus in addition to the aforementioned bonus.
