THE X-ENGINE

UP TO 10X SMALLER AND LIGHTER AND 30% MORE EFFICIENT
  • Lightweight & Compact
    Up to 80% smaller and lighter than the traditional piston Diesel engines.
  • Simplicity
    Only two primary moving parts, optimally balanced.
    High-Efficiency and Lower Fuel Consumption
    Up to 30% decrease in fuel consumption, lower CO₂ emission and lower cost of running an engine.
    Quiet and Near-Zero Vibration
    With lower pressure exhaust and just two moving components that are optimally balanced, the engine is inherently quiet, and offers exceptionally low vibration.
We develop advanced rotary engines based on our patented HEHC thermodynamic cycle and engine architecture. LiquidPiston engines are designed to be:

Engines designed for applications where less is more

Less weight, space, vibration, noise, fuel consumption… More power. Building on over 15 years of R&D, LiquidPiston provides a power solution that can scale to address the needs of the $400B internal combustion engine market and is a key enabler for emerging mobility technologies including electric cars, urban aircraft, and drones. The company is focusing on military and aerospace markets, whose propulsion and power generation segments represent large application opportunities for LiquidPiston. The company also plans to enter industrial and commercial, marine, UAV, urban mobility, and automotive markets.

Up to 10X smaller and lighter and 30% more efficient

Reasons to invest

  • $9M in DoD contracts with DARPA and the U.S. Army
  • 30% more efficient than a diesel engine, and up to 200% more efficient than a small turbine
  • 64 patents issued and pending
  • Successfully completed four industrial partner pilot studies signed in 2019, resulting in $1.1M of commercial revenue.
  • Raised $3.17M from three fully subscribed Regulation CF offerings from over 2,400 investors; $7.5M in Reg A offering; and over $20M in prior VC and angel investment
  • Our latest Reg CF offering oversubscribed in just 9 hours!
  • Finalist / Award Winner in several DoD competitions, including: the US Army xTechSearch 3.0, U.S. Army and Innovation Combine, and AFWERX Base of the Future Challenge
  • Our rotary engines are the first major disruption to engine technology in over a century

Electric Vehicles use big, heavy, expensive batteries

  • 36lbs of fuel can displace 1,000 pounds of battery
  • LPI Hybrid Power System eliminates 90% of battery pack
  • LPI engines allow more range for an electric vehicle, by using smaller, lighter, more cost effective batteries.
  • CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption reduced

  • Problem

  • Gasoline engines are inefficient
  • Diesel engines are big and heavy
  • Electric batteries weigh a ton compared to what they produce
  • Battery-only EV's are limited in range and recharging takes a long time
  • Limited payload
  • High operating costs

  • Solution

  • Compact, lightweight engine
  • Power-dense and multi-fuel capable
  • High power to weight
  • Few parts and simplicity
  • Near-zero vibration
  • Cuts on fuel and CO₂ emissions
  • Cuts costs
  • Efficiently burns fuel, minimizing wasted energy lost through cooling losses and engine exhaust
