K-Cycle Engine ... 100 MPG!!!

{ click to view patent pdf }
ANYONE FOR 100 MPG???
conventionally, internal combustion engines whether they are of the reciprocating piston type or the rotary type, utilize the otto-cycle or the diesel-cycle or the dual-combustion-cycle.
all conventional engines suffer from the one principal disadvantage, namely, that the expansion stoke is the same length as the compression stroke so that a considerable amount of the energy is wasted and expelled as hot exhaust gases under considerable pressure. { henceforth the low 18% efficiency of current production today's engines } another disadvantage of the conventional engines is that they require a separate combustion chamber for each piston
summary of the invention:
the present invention overcomes these disadvantages by utilizing an improved cycle in which the expansion ratio or stroke is greater than the compression ratio, or stroke is greater than the compression ratio or stroke therby converting some of the energy normally expelled and wasted in the exhaust gases, to useful work or horsepower.
the greater the expansion ration compared to that of the compression ratio is achieved within one cylinder and piston in contrast to the "brayton" cycle which although it expands the gases to atmospheric pressure, achieves this with two pistons, one fro compression and the other for expansion.
furthermore, a common mini-combustion chamber is used for each bank of cylinders so that continuous combustion is possible. { ooh! sounds clean and efficient } an object of the invention is therefore to provide an improved operating cycle for internal combustion engines in which the expansion and exhaust strokes are longer than the intake and compression strokes thereby converting more work to useful energy than in conventional operating cycles.
another object of the invention is to provide a rotary engine which can be used with a conventional cycle of operation or, can be used with the improved cycle of operation as desired...........
example:
intake...................short and steep................060 deg
compression....short and more gradual .....070 deg
lock tdc.................fixed at tdc........................003 deg
power................long and gradual.................130 deg
exhaust..............long and steeper.................097 deg
i wonder if this qualifies as a "5-cycle" engine eh?
let's see: intake, compression, combustion, power xfer, exhaust...yep 5 cycles.

Just let it go, eh?
New Fort York - David a Balfour Park

Leaves of three, let it be! The parks people must have planted it as part of the "Native Species Recovery Project". Poison ivy IS native...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Toxicodendron_radicans3.jpg
O say can you see...
Can't miss the place (unless you blink, that is). 35 years in existence, not a peep...
The blue blanket is electric. Nemo keeps it plugged into a "current bush". Electric blankets are very waterproof...
A view from the top...
Sunrise is a special treat.
Please pack out your garbage, not that Mayor Miller will allow a garbage can anywhere in the park. You may pass through, but don't linger. You are in Rosedale (Holy, Holy, Holy, are the great WASHED).
Wash rooms and fix the fountain would also be nice. Perhaps picnic tables and BENCHES too, IDIOT!
Get off your ass Miller and fix the damage before more people get hurt! This is EVERYONE'S park. Bring it back to standard NOW!
PARK USERS: Be very, very, very careful when crossing Miller's bridge-less bridge. Kind of ZEN, eh?

much ado about the right wing...

This is what a political gaff really looks like, Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau on a State Visit to London doing a wee jig as the Queen addresses her subjects. Best Prime Minister Canada ever had!
A bow to a Sovereign head of state is proper. A lesson in diplomacy can be taken from the story of a dignitary visiting Washington: When the dignitary drank a toast using his finger bowl, all of the attendees did likewise.
It is important to show respect to others. When respect is shown, it is most often it is reciprocated. Disdain will surely bring disdain. This is a fundamental rule in any communicative effort.
Then again, you must consider the source of the information and repetition: 
Glenn Beck: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Beck
Sean Hannity: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Hannity
Now tell me why you watch Faux News again...

come on down!
Scruffy is awful quiet lately. Very quiet. Maybe he got the message and shut the fuck up!

Scruffy once again embraces the American People in peace, love, and friendship. Perhaps President O won't have to take much more from this putrid reprobate.
Anyone for dove hunting! Roasted dove in Jack's secret sauce, with minced olive leaves and chives. Mount Scruffy's head upon a silver platter at let it serve as centrepiece.

"Sorry!...Please repeat that...I ate pickled camel balls last night...I think I just shit myself", eh?
Come to think of it, he has not looked at all well of late. Stress perhaps.

Running sharp...
first draft
Nemo is having a problem with the service being provided today by the TTC out of Wilson Division. Buses are erratic. The Bayview route, for example, is supposed to provide 10-minute service. Unfortunately, short-end runs are jumping the inbound by up to ten minutes on a 10 minute headway. That means you see a pattern like... bus, 1-minute gap, bus, 19-minute gap, bus, 2 minute gap...
CIS, is a TTC-developed bus tracking system (project started when Nemo was in Highschool). CIS was supposed to prevent these abominations from happening. When I was trained to operate, one was allowed to be LATE. "Safe driving takes president over all times shown"! There is, however no excuse for running early (vernacular "sharp"). The guys that run "sharp" are lazy and despicable. Attitudes demonstrated by many operators show contempt for the system. After complaining to Ed Korpan, busses would bypass me intentionally, even though there were other customers waiting. This bus division may just be the only rotten apple, but one is enough to bring down the rest.
The fact that I have several illnesses and use a walker seems to be lost on these prima donas. The fact that I have been an employee since 1976 seems to be lost on these useless cogs. The fact that I was a subway motorman, a bus operator, a dispatcher, a subway towerma, a programmer trainee, a programmer analyst, a systems analyst, a senior database analyst. I have been co-developer for the subway headway information system, the wheel trans information system, legal tracking system, the medical monitoring system, and so on.
TTC tries to scam 'the scammer'. They tell me that they will investigate my complaints and "get back to me". Several months after initiating a complaints about the Bayview and Mt Pleasant services, service is as bad as ever and I have had no response from Customer Service. The fact that I was about to board a bus when the driver shut the doors and drove off.
The "investigations" should be straight forward. CIS records the position of buses, and the performance of the service can easily be checked by playing back the service logs. A superintendent, or assistant can easily walk to the CIS room at their leisure and review and verify a complaint. What investigation is necessary?
Also, the CIS system is able to set of alarms on the buses when they run ahead of schedule. The alarms seem to be disabled, and those operators who are running "sharp" should be warned at +2. These seem to be in the "off" position.
As to the old standard excuse, my watch was off is not an excuse. If the CIS Trump Unit is properly configured, the operator is warned. If you see a positive time like +3, CIS should react. If you see a negative time like -3, pick up a bit if you can. If you can't do that math, you should probably be homeless and begging on the street.
Nemo thinks the TTC worked better when the Supervisors (nee Inspectors) were on foot, on the streets. Service should be run as is the downtown street-cars...zero minutes sharp.
A small group of unmanageable idiots is ruining the reputation of the TTC and bring the contempt of the public. Two TTC Special Constable Sergeant have admitted to Nemo recently that the Union has become so strong at WILSON DIVISION that everyone does pretty much as they please.
please remember Blago's sick grandmother...

nemo fossor rare and exclusive pic
John and Cindy McCain's candid reaction to "yet one-more O-stimulation package".John promised Cindy that $10 would go into a jar every time a four-letter-word slipped out, eh? I think that John may have just gone broke! Letting it out is good for the soul.
AIG! Giving more money to the same pricks whom just fucked your's and my pension AND insurance policies does not seem to make much since to Nemo Fossor either, eh? Throw the "small group" of pricks in jail where they belong and let the honest continue to work toward restoring the company. Everybody knows who did what. Round these twenty-million-dollar-men up, try them, hang them.
{ hyperbole warning }
Jail-building is going to be a growth industry. We should let these guys build their own jails, and afterward, turn big rocks into littler rocks. Exercise is good for the mind and the body.

it wasn't Willy-Peter, it was a fireworks display...
Dateline Jerusalem:
Israeli spokeswoman Dippy Tippy, announced the result of the 'investigation' of the alleged use of White Phosphorous air-burst missiles over densely populated areas of Gaza. Dippy stated that the Israeli Air Force was simply putting on a fireworks display to cheer up the local indigenous population.
Achmed versus the behemoth!
Nemo Fossor is giving 10:1 odds that he did not even scratch the top-coat! If only he had a slingshot, eh?
A family picnic on the beach. After, some dodge ball amongst the unexploded ordnance.
