Gale Banks needs to take two identical duramax engines with stock tuning one engine with the dimple pistons and the other with oem pistons and do several dyno pulls and compare the results because i seriously doubt those dimple pistons will make any noticeable gains 🤷🏿♂️
dern right! Id love to see him peel that onion apart! I dont care to ever own a diesel truck but Gale makes it super interesting to learn about diesels!
Agreed!
@@gpw203 so how would you make the pistons magnetic without adding weight?
Does less than just about any other aftermarket design. Ask yourself why no serious race team uses this.
If it isn't used abundantly in racing, it's shit at best, fake at worst.
@@rattyratstuff7125 ya rekon!!, hey at least the video is getting clicks, lol
I would need to see some trustworthy sources test these magical pistons to see if the stunning gains in efficiency you promise are real.
u forgot to mention 100% of car manufacturers have not - nor will ever use golf ball pistons.
@@randykubickThese would probably only be used on performance engines.
They also showed THC being released at 1:40 lol
check their website. independent testing results available
european cars have those piston, i goy a diesel Seat , and hasimilar pistons
No way.
I don't believe this for a second.
Not theses 50% changes.
No way.

o way.
This is science, not religion. Believe in a fake deity, know that mechanical engineering is bettering your life.
The golf ball dent thing always leaves out the fact that the ball is spinning through the air
It's relative motion between the dimples and the air.
The pistons are moving up and down and the intake charge is swirling and compressing. = relative motion
@@hotrodray6802 its not relative motion. The direction and spin are relevant to a golf ball but doing this to a piston would not have the same effect given that you only get the effect with air rushing past the dimples not air hitting the dimples directly. Other companies have tried using the golf ball dimples but the aerodynamic increase was barely anything and in this case it could be a failure point and it just doesn't apply here
@ryanmattson: yes, the spin is important otherwise aircraft would have dimples all over them.
@@robbsharp9014 put some spinners on the top of the pistons that way you increase efficiency and also have ballin pistons /s
@@robbsharp9014 There are 7 grooves at the edge of the Combustion Chamber that work to fragment the Flame Front. The pressure is coming from the Squish Band as the piston is traveling past TDC. The following is a test of a single cylinder Diesel engine. The difference between RGP 6 and RGP 9 is the amount of piston grooves at the edge of the combustion chamber. I added a link in a second reply bc YT might not allow the outside link.
CONCLUSION
The following conclusions are drawn based on
the present investigation.
• The maximum increase in brake thermal
efficiency for RGP 9, RGP 6 compared to
normal piston was found to be 21.00%,
20.07% respectively.
• The reduction in the brake specific fuel
consumption for RGP6, RGP 9 compared
to normal piston was found to be 16.28%,
20.01% respectively.
• The maximum increase in Volumetric
efficiency for RGP 9, RGP 6 compared to
normal piston was found to be 32.48%,
17.49% respectively.
• The exhaust gas temperatures are
minimized for RGP 9, RGP 6 as compared
to normal piston was found to be 12.12%,
8.13% respectively.
• The carbon monoxide emissions for RGP
9, RGP 6 are found to be reduced by 30%,
20% respectively.
From the above conclusions, the RGP 9
piston configuration can be suggested on
diesel engine compared with the other piston
configurations.

what happens if they carbon up where the dimples don,t work or are not visible?
If an engine is running properly you don't get significant carbon build up.
@@Obamaistoast2012when you take not everyone looks after their investment 😢 it's honestly and makes no sense why buy something so expensive and not look after it
My thoughts exactly
Please show your source data. I don’t see any logic technical argument presented here, just a reiteration of the manufacturer’s claims, which is likely pseudoscience at best. The claims are very significant, so prove it… with actual data, generated under scientifically controlled conditions.
Agreed..how does this not cause hot spots causing pre ignition
Dont waste ur time looking at videos like these its bogus
Spam accounts with AI or computer generated BS for clicks
Diesel engine is compression based. Very different from gas engines. The dimples act as partial combustion chambers upon compression stroke. Upon exhaust stroke the air velocity gets an added boost due to the dimples and the airs ability to go from a pressure positive to exhausting the gasses.
@@sirseven3 physics may argue with your description…
Fuel consumpion reduced almost 50% in some constant speed machinery? I doubt that.
So let me get this straight, burn a half of fuel and still stock performance? What's the thermal efficiency of that kind of engine? Almost 100%? Really?
I'd believe when I see it.
Me thinks that you have a math problem. Rethink your numbers.
Perfect question.
Funny how fuel consumption in their test 5.9 cummins resulted in 3.2% fuel savings, but they claim 50% savings on "constant speed machinery". Wouldn't you lead citing that test over the measly 3.2% savings.
the emissions reductions are profound. as thats always an issue in diesel engines.. however, honda made a diesel engine that gets 70mpg and doesn't need eurea injection to meet emisions standards.. not available in NA markets..
european cars have those pistons, they are 10% more efficient
these are huge numbers to be claiming from a few holes in the piston jeez
Exactly, so why are t these put in production now ? ? These so called improvements seem way to exaggerated. Pie in the sky ? ? Talk is cheap , walk the walk & put these in production for the average consumer. WTF 👍🤛⚾️
@@bobmariano3731 Nice round numbers like 20%, 40%, 50% are always signs of marketing lies.
This video doesn't talk about all the pieces. Pistons are also ceramic coated and a gapless 2nd ring is used. I would thing that half of these benefits are from that alone.
Did no-one notice at 1:37, Diesel Engines💭 THC😂😂❤
it had me tripping
yea got me too its smokng weed and doing nitro hits and pm cold meds that one hell of a engine
Snoop's always loved diesels!
Saw it
Total HydroCarbons
Now I can die in peace. You just taught me why those craters are put on the golf balls.
Real or not, R&D for something seemingly as simple as this is awesome. Taking technology from other sources and applying it to something new is fundamental.
Excellent Information
Thats why a beat up engine runs the smoothest right before it blows up.
What do you mean
Sounds too good to be true so it probably is.
Dimples like that would possibly be beneficial, in having an effectively larger surface area to the piston head, and might help somewhat for the turbulation and scavenging. However the inlet/outlet geometries are still the truly deciding factors when it comes to that, and I think I can foresee some problems with compression and manufacturing from that head design. So yeah. And the moment they were like "up to 80%" I was... yeah.
Here's a smarter solution which might give something of the same advantages, but without the same engineering problems; Spherical chambering, from a spheroid formed by both the cylinder top and the piston head; You make the piston conical outside of the concaved-out center so that it gives a very definitive compression squeeze, to account for the concaveness. Would make for a far more idealized combustion volume than a flat disc, for both explosion/burn consistency, better pressure dispersion and temperature dispersal.
Lel. Now have fun trying to design a valve setup that works with that.
@@retiredbore378 True, on the one technical end; On the other end, if consequently you improve heat dissipation and homologation throughout the actual metal, and you can more ideally match detonation and propagation, then you win all of that back and then some through being able to use closer tolerances and better explosion matching.
@@SakhmeovSARZHERFLURGERFLARRBZHSHAR???
I wouldn't mind trying these out on my 2500 sprinter.
All numbers are too high imo. But diesels should profit from it to a degree. Swirl is very positive for diesels and hotspots dont really matter with no knock chance.
Watched from Old Harbour Jamaica, very interesting.
They should dimple the cylinder walls too the help with swirling the air.
ITS JUST A JOKE 😅
LoL... 😂
Lay down a wicked cross-hatch !!
european diesel cars have those pistons they are 10 % more efficient
but they dont use thsoe nonsese dimples.
Would this piston concept operate in an Achates opposed-piston Diesel engine? The combustion space in an opposed piston engine is contained between the tops of two pistons, so it would seem that this combustion control would strongly affect the efficiency of an opposed piston Diesel.
The answer is yes…the Germans had a very similar design in WW2 for their opposed piston aviation engines …this concept is nothing new and it only has applications in sleeve valve or opposed piston engines
If I had a worn out diesel, I'd try them out
These would only seem to work well with diesel. A Heron head gasoline motor with the dish in the piston and a high squish I could see cause detonation issues from hot spots on the dimples when the mixture is compressed, it could get squished into the dimples and not towards the inner part of the chamber for ignition. Engines with the combustion chamber in the piston do interest me though, it's very interesting and I think a lot more could be done with that design.
Whatever happened to Sandia Lab's ducted injectors? That was some interesting diesel tech.
Well, then will dimples be an advantage to flight? Planes n other flying machines or props? 😊
hmm imma no diesel head but with these pistons would a modern diesel comply wif emissions w/o EGR, DPF n just DEF perhaps?
More improvements that are been made to ICE engines the better the future for them
It's not just the dimples, the geometry of the face of the piston is completely different, this geometry would create vortices inside the cylinder, probably better air fuel mixture hence more efficient combustion.
It would nice to see this new type of piston tested in a gasoline engine.
That's my shit too!
They have been - no improvement.
@@Motor-City-Mike If I was making a guess as to why this is true, Id say these wouldn't help a gas engine because gasoline is pretty much already maxed out with its btu's, but diesel fuel has a lot more power in the fuel and this piston design simply extracts more of the fuels potential instead of it going out the exhaust.
Been done for 40 years.
Engine masters guys have used them as well as used the Singh Grooves.
If they didn't think they helped torque they wouldn't have used them, right?
@@hotrodray6802 hey we justa buncha key board punchers, them guys are way more advanced than us!
If those numbers are real then the cost of those pistons should be very pricey! It's hard to imagine that this change makes such significant improvements in all areas. 50% better fuel economy? Come on.
2:06 They said 20 %?
3:07 50%
2% not even that. Maybe 0,5%
They are 4,000 dollars, Stock pistons are 600.
@@russellaustin4988 WOW! youd have to keep and drive the thing for a long time to get that money back!
08/07/2023 Hello Look Auto. Does this manufacturer offer these pistons for gasoline engines? I have watched other videos about diesel engine remanufacturing using whatever they are called deep cone like pistons without the demples. I would like more mathematical engineering data. I would think that this type of piston would not have the factory spec compression ratios. I have seen some data or bragging about the use in racing engines. I do not know about the authentic source of other videos. Thanks for the video. Don
Please post the piston companies websites and information. Wouldn't it be worthwhile on a old cummins to install new pistons and zero gap rings. How much more power Would it make?
Every little bit helps...😍🤩🥰
We all know the most efficient diesel engine is the opposed piston variety. Something like the Fairbanks Morris or the Junkers Jumo. Would be stellar all around for a Hybrid diesel drive train. To bad their is not a radioactive catalyst that simply makes tons of gaseous hydrogen or some other from of Methane/ Natural gas etc.

Love those THC molecules in the animation 🤣
They were high as a kite when they made that
Engineering solutions turn into engineering problems eventually
Most of the time: fix one problem, create two more.
Gear head mantra: if it ain’t broke fix it till it is!
1:25 they talk about a fuel air mixture but diesels don't mix the fuel like gasoline. Diesel is direct injection and injects fuel after the piston has compressed the air. No fuel enters the combustion chamber with the air when intake valves are open.
If it seems too good to be true, it is!
I agree with most of the comments on this.
I believe a flat top piston, with a very shallow combustion area, produces a better twin swirl combustion chamber, by the angle and flow of the intake ports.
Let me overlap my camshafts, for better scavenging effects.
And I can show you a higher performance on the stock engine.
But if we're talking about diesels. They're over-sexed 2-stroke engines.(Same idea)
Just saying...........
This would be awesome for aircraft engines...
the maintenance to keep them clean tho ,( great discovery ) but i dont see this getting mass produced
0:12 that's exactly what drag racers have been doing for 50+ years, porting it so the air goes straight in, knowing most of it goes towards the back of the valve.
Gas ported pistons for top ring only
Very short ring life and engines torn down usually under a hundred passes at 1/4 mile. There have been ported heads with dimpling and it was a failure. Fueled puddled and wrecked atomization and caused detonation through lean outs and destroys the engine. If the dimples carbon up how can they still work? Worth the testing only way to find out long term
@christopherduggan9227 where in the fuck did you hear that bud? We've bench tested ported and dimpled vs ported and polished head and atomization and air flow was significantly better on the dimpled heads. I'm talking over 90hp better on the engine dyno.
@@christopherduggan9227 Not so at all. Dimpling ports *PREVENTS* fuel puddling, that's the whole point.
@@christopherduggan9227 . . . says " If the dimples carbon up" . . . . In the intake runners ?? Have you ever looked inside an engine ??
It’s trying to help the quench. Builders been doing this is drag cars for a long time. Not really a diesel only thing it’s about better mix and reduces the ping from to large gab.
These dimples probably have a greater impact on engines with large bores and lower rpm's which explains why they chose a diesel engine to try them on.
Turbulent flow is known to improve air fuel mixture but not to this extent. The depression on the cylinder creates more volume in the chamber. But...
My thermodynamics is a little rusty, but wouldn't "combustion occurring at a lower temperature" reduce efficiency? IIRC the efficiency of an engine is directly proportional to the difference in temperature between the inside and outsite.
That's not quite what they mean. Because the combustion is supposedly more efficient (by which they are suggesting it happens more quickly and completely) which probably means it happens faster, then less fuel is needed, so less overall heat is produced
Doesn't this just mean that the turbulence at the piston head is lessened?
The whole piston is still making a vacuum in its chamber with every return, so turbulence doesn't feel like a major factor. Unless the turbulence is continuously fighting the gas intake, this won't do anything.
1:40 what is THC doing in the air?
Snoop drove by!
At around $650 a piston this doesn't work for most people. If all the numbers work out this would only be viable for fleet vehicles. This video also doesn't mention that they are ceramic coated and use a gapless 2nd ring. That ring probably makes the biggest difference on some of those numbers by reducing blow. That alone keeps the oil cleaner, more fuel in the combustion chamber.
anyone see the thc flying up around 1:35 😂
Watch the fuel saving the MythBusters achieved when they covered a car with dimples. They were both shocked, since it was about 10%. Think if they could do that with 18 wheelers. But the interior space would be a problem, since you couldn't make the outside wider & standard stuff would no longer fit inside a narrower interior.
Definitely something to consider for aircraft bodies...❤
The latest bugatti also uses dimples in a small part of its air scoop.
@@pauldatche8410 How are you going to create these 'dimples' in aircraft? The skins are thin and the dimple much deeper than the skin is thick which would compromise the strength or add weight...both undesirable. If these pistons actually do provide any improvements it's more from the coating and less from the dimples which have been tried on and off for 40+ years now. Mostly they're not worth the bother of creating them but for sure a thermal barrier coating on the piston does improve performance...but again it must improve things enough to be worth doing....and the fact that manufacturers who are desperate to meet emissions and efficiency targets are not flocking to use this technology should be a bit of an indication of how good it is.
May I suggest you get onto their website and look at their videos etc.
As a mechanic of more than forty years experience my impression is that these people are the real deal.
The cool part about that episode was the fact that the clay added weight to the car making it heavier and yet it still gained efficiency
what would be possible if you combine this piston with the Innegine and plasma igntion?
I’m working on a new design fuel system for internal combustion engines wherein an engine will run on manure from politicians.
It makes a huge improvement on golf balls. I could see it having potential to work here.
The dimples will fill with carbon over time and pre-ignition/knock will destroy the surface.
You really don't want a rough surface with grooves and such when we talking about internal combustion engines. We see carbon build up in the most expensive perfectly fine materials with catastrophic effects on high performance engines.
This would work on areas that air is clean ( throttle bodies ,intake manifolds and cylinder head porting)
In real world circumstance you won't notice those 3,2% fuel savings, because many people will drive more aggressively when having more torque and power.
Maybe you should make a rotating (spinning) piston?
Mazda.
that's (kinda) been done already with the wankel engine. problem is it's much less efficient and durable than a traditional piston engine
Ok, so the actual efficiency increase was 3.2% in testing with real world diesel pickup engines. Still, with more power output, if people could get keep their foot out of it, it would further increase efficiency, i.e., less pedal for the same work.
I had the same idea a long time ago
Jim McFarland and his brother were doing this 50 years ago.
Natural gas engines should work good on those right
Power of air, seems to have a legit webdite though old, and an address in Vegas. Maybe?
I would like to see more independant test. If it's good then it's good. Truckers are being hammered with fuel prices. $ 1000.00 to fuel up is rediculous.
Why are there THC molecules in the animation?
I did know a mustang guy that would put about 4 bags of ice in his trunk / fuel tank top ! 😅. Hey ?
Ludicrous claims for an efficiency increase from minor machine work. And the price is high as well.
Damn hotter ignition coils or better plug wires are a joke.
This is interesting, but hard to believe.
Why would Volvo invest time money and effort into a piston when they declared on national TV that they are going all electric?
They need to put these pistons in opposed piston engines
reminds me of the somender singh groove :-D if anyone remember that.. :-D nothing new under the sun so far haha..
They work
Cool story
In the case of the dimples at the cylinder head inlet, for example, they do not improve the aerodynamics of the incoming air, they only serve to generate turbulence and create a more homogeneous mixture of air and fuel admitted into the cylinder... placing them on the piston does not the slightest sense! in the golf ball, it rotates in the air, and this minimizes the effects of drag... but if it were applicable to objects that don't rotate, formula 1 cars would be full of dimples, including ferraris and lamborghinis!
Between ducted injectors, opposed cylinder 2 strokes and these dimpled pistons, may extend the life of piston engines. Electric vehicles have their place. But an electric drive, piston powered generator vehicle is likely to be the preferred drivetrain in the near future.
We need to look into fuel-injected two-stroke engines.
A power stroke per crankshaft revolution is where the torque is generated, particularly since manufacturer are making smaller displacement engines.
No valvetrain enertia.
Crankcase gases burned next power cycle, PCV system basically maintenance free.
Go back to heatsinks around cylinder heads, no poisonous radiator fluid to kill your doggos.
Magneto ignition electonically advanced and retard.
.....
I mean we can I like the two stroke idea but we really need to bring back the Detroit 71 series and do some refining on it but those things would grab and go and they sound great when they scream.
Dimpling is also done to intakes because if boundary layer air
Then, if i open my old aspirated vw 1.6 diesel 1gen, take the pistons out, make light rounded holes with a drill on surface top of cylinder, my car thats do 18~20km/L will go all way to 30km/L? XD
Seem too good to be true
If this was true that this pistons really make more fuel efficient than they wouldn't allow us to know about this because of greed gets in the way. I have to literally install these in my truck or car to see if this is actually accurate
For those that can't believe it's possible.
Many people have made higher efficiency engines over the years.
Gas or diesel.
In gasoline especially with computers today it doesn't burn efficiently.
Actually it's made to waste, just to keep the catalytic working all the time.
So just that waste, not to mention why they do the intentional waste.
Because it wasn't burning off all the fuel to begin with.
So they waste more to get the catalytic to burn it off so there is cleaner emissions.
Check out the world record Ford opal.
That's an actual Guinness book of world record.
Many other examples.
That one was vapor deposition.
That's remarkable, but probably overstating the resultss. It's a pity that it's too late. Still, in the swansong of IC Engines, it will provide useful improvements in efficiency and emissions.
Yeah, it’ll be the longest “swan song” in history. EVs do nothing to improve the environment and come at horrendous costs (child labor for materials, huge dumps for used hazardous materials, ya da ya da… I know, “but they’re gonna save the world, eventually). Get back to me in 20 years, my bet is that the transition will STILL be 20 years away (as always).

@@JimBronson as i said, 20 years check back here…
Fun fact some steam engines can achieve 98% thermal efficiency vs 4stroke ice 25%
@@matthewfredrickmfkrz1934 I believe it was Howard Hughes who eloquently pointed out the problem with steam using a well aimed hammer. Also, ICEs can reach much higher than 25% with proper investment (my own developments are predicted to reach about 40% but funding at the federal level is geared to battery development and other forms of transportation, like trains; I’ve applied and D.O.E. and N.S.F. won’t even review the application). Yes, the fuel efficiency of existing ICEs is too low, but that doesn’t preclude improvement (and no, I’m not going to just tell you what I’ve put 10 years of effort into). Also, there are even more pressing contributions to greenhouse gas emissions than cars but the bottom line is that EVs will NEVER contribute to the solution because they are at least as bad as ICE for lifetime carbon emissions.
-50% consumption by +5% power = magic....
Anytime you cut down a piston or the heads the compression loss means less horsepower and less torque.

Show a Dyno chart. 15% in power is a decent increase. Building race engines things like that dnt gain a lot of any power. So to make that in an engine that's not that dnt have as high a cylinder pressure dnt sound accurate. Just some more internet yadda yadda
please for subtitles in Czech language
Game changing would be complete vaporization of the fuel before it enters the combustion chamber. Even if you could do so, the difference between ICE & electric is no comparison. Electric is so much more efficient that it makes ICE obsolete.
Promises, Promises.
If these dimples would reduce fuel consumption by 50 %, every car manufacturer would have them already. They have been researching how to make an economical engine a lot longer than these guys and have probably simulated or tested just about every "piston shape" under the sun.
Companies would've been using these years ago if the #'s were even close to accurate
Dimples on golf balls are not there for speed, they are there to stabilise the ball in flight.
I worked for the company that originally developed the dimpled golf ball.

Why don't you drill the holes inside?
At first glance this pistons seem to bump up compression and it seems it creates a smaller higher pressure zone for "combustion" to happen, which in turn also creates a higher compression. It also seems that the test results are cherry picked to suit the ideal rpm for the piston to work at full efficiency. I am sure the pistons are an improvement from oem especially in "heavy duty" engines where there is a lack of performance oriented hardware inside the engine. I bet this large diesel engines have a run of the mill, 0 technology piston. I highly doubt in a modern diesel engine those claims are broadly applicable without cherry picking results
Great something else to drive the cost of a piston from $100 up to $355 each by just giving it a dimple.
Sounds like ShamWow to me.
Tiger Woods is now their ambassador.
Remember what happened to "free-valve".
