Great technology. And congratulations to whoever composed the background music, is great!!👌

Other than the wankel rotary engine, this is most genuinely excited I am about an engine.

The key is that with use of both super fast piezo injectots, variabile valve lift/timing plus with all bunch of sensors like cylinder pressure sen, oxygen sens in the exhaust, knock sensors you can control compression and combustion so precisely that you go up to the very edge where knock will occur. Meaning you are just a bit bellow knocking and spark just pushes you after the edge. A d when it does combustion occurs simultaniously all over the gas fuel mixture rather than with a fireball like on regular otto.

Had a 323 as my first car, bought with 175000km sold with 345000km and saw it again with 415000km on internet, never had any issues with it ! Mazda was a very reliable brand back at the time, dont know if it's still true at the moment with all the multi brands conceptions you know (peugeot with mazda, what a joke) :)

Bravo Mazda i always had deep love for them

The small spark pushes the contents inside the combustion engine to a higher pressure and higher temperatures. As it exceeds the compression egnition threshold, all of the mixture undergoes spontaneous combustion. Of course all this is very fast.

Wow, this technology is amazing. I think the first new car I might buy would be a Mazda with this skyactive-x technology

I am really impressed great technology

Trolls don't bother watching the video before criticising it? "Directly spray fuel into the compressed heated air" That IS exactly how a diesel engine works. The video shows diesel as SCCI not HCCI. That's why the fuel pressures are much higher. Probably what you are forgetting is the compression ratios are higher than normal in Skyactiv-X. Around 15-16:1 with low octane gasoline compared to 8-10:1. Diesel fuel takes alot of compression to "pop." Anyone running cheap gas in a boosted engine will tell you how easy it is to make 87 pop/ping/knock. It does use direct injection to get fuel in the chamber, and uses combustion to increase compression inside the cylinder. To the point of controlled knock. Its all about tuning and timing. A hint would be looking at how the piston shape makes a much smaller volume at the head vs gasoline.

@Dr_Oleg_Kulikov

6 жыл бұрын

It's a better explanation than the video. So, the Mazda is using volume detonation of a fuel/air mix after sharp pressure increase from a pre-ignition section of the combustion chamber with a spark. Well. In a diesel engine the fuel/air mix is not homogeneous and burning is slower. But would detonation instead of combustion be not harmful to the engine? I mean, shock waves from detonations that propagate also in metal parts of the engines instead of a more smooth pressure increase in a diesel engine or a benzene engine with Direct Injection. Not to mention complexity of the timing control. Shorter times for detonation may increase efficiency of the engine at very high rotation rate (at high cost of reduced operation times) but will be of no help at lower rates. Will such an engine be in operation as long as a diesel engine? I believe it will not. So, it is a shitty idea.

The idea may not be new, but actually mass producing such tech and implementing in such a wide way is action is and should be seen different from talk/speculation The automobile itself has been around since the over a century the late 1880's, but Henry Ford is credited with the making the modern car with the Model T because he took inspirations and brought them to market The opposed piston and axial engines are incredible designs better on paper then most we currently use, but they have pretty much stayed on paper hell you probably have never herd of them, and it won't until someone actually brings them to proper production we see the real benefits

Just a random question, but is this also achievable with E85 (I'm not sure, but gasoline is way more volatile than E85)? If not, than would it still be possible with a higher compression ratio? As far as I know, E85 also has a higher octane rating.

Mazda has always been cutting edge and not afraid to try new ideas.

This might change the future of not only gas or Diesel engines but also hybrids and electric cars

It's true that this idea is not revolutionary. The real difficulty is to make it commercial. GM, Toyota, and Daimler tried but didn't succeed yet. Looking forward to seeing this engine on 2019 Mazda cars.

Wow, Mazda is pretty clever! They really are combining the petrol and Diesel engines.Too bad it’s poorly explained because there’s a ton of confused people in the comments. Pay close attention and you’ll understand it (:

I am impressed by the deginer

Will octain rating of the fuel have any effect on it?What about turbo or supercharging that engine

I was under the impression that under normal low load circumstances the Skyactiv-X would operate on compression ignition (e.g. ignite air fuel mixture without a spark) but instead of diesel fuel uses gasoline. So diesel like operation but without the NOx or CO2 emissions of the latter. The spark plug would only activate during Cold starts, low ambient temperature and high power demand situations.

Gerrad Reynolds Should probably put speech marks. And I agree with you.

F1 car had been using it since 2014 called the HCCI ( sfCI + HCsi ) to compensate with a tight fuel regulation resulting in increase of overall efficiency making it sitting around 40% of overall thermodynamic efficiency close to that comparable diesel engine thus significantly increase its power output for a given engine with a small displacement.

its very cool

Hi does this engine use the spark from the spark plug all of the time, I'm a bit confused, some people I've spoke to say under spark controlled compression the spark plug doesn't spark ??

It will be interesting to see how reliable it is and if detonation will be a problem.

Mazda make very refined engines of late.

the comment section is way better at explaining the engine

Mazda has the best overall fuel economy of any automaker without making a SINGLE hybrid or cvt car. Now THATS engineering

Mazda use ~the same process found on twin spark engines with some improvements (stratified injection)...

@KB-ke1nt

4 жыл бұрын

Yes, stratified injection that was the first word that clicked in my brain.

All you need is a quicker and hotter sparkplug to produce this kind of ignition..the timing of spark firing and a higher compression ratio of piston is the key..why new, it's old and most racing mechanics uses this for higher torque and power

In the divided combustion chamber approach: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nJt9psSBf9LZdqg.html there are two cooperating combustion chambers: a small auxiliary and a big main. A high compression ratio is used in the auxiliary combustion chamber. A moderate compression ratio is used in the main combustion chamber wherein a homogeneous air-fuel mixture is compressed / heated near, yet below, the auto-ignition threshold. The high compression ratio in the auxiliary combustion chamber causes the auto-ignition of the homogeneous lean air-fuel mixture therein (no spark plug required); the burnt gas bursts - through some "transfer ports", just before the TDC - into the main combustion chamber triggering its auto-ignition. The engine needs not be structurally stronger.

In theory it would have to be built as strong as a diesel motor, or it would tear itself apart like most of the modern little turbo 4cyls do

So it's like a Hemi head with a pyramid domed piston top? Giving a really good squeeze? I wonder what the compression ratio is? And does the spark plug fire after the squeeze ignition occurs?

@davidburke8087

6 жыл бұрын

from what i've heard the compression ratio is somewhere around 16:1. The spark plug causes a small combustion event at the top of the cylinder and the extra heat and pressure from that causes the rest of the fuel to combust. So no, the spark plug fires before the compression ignition.

Today I saw this SKYACTIVE written on a Mazda car on the way while I was driving and i was just wondering in my thoughts what could it be? and now Im home and just casually clicked on this "recommended" video that presents this technology... Now SOMEBODY TELL ME THAT THIS IS A COINCIDENCE!! Nope becuz these creepy things happened to me before several times!!

Could have just said "higher compression and conical piston" instead of making it sound like you just reinvented the wheel. That top notch of the piston will get hot fast so better hope your cooling system is on point *Edit* Also with such a high compression ratio and a hot tipped piston you'll have to watch out for preignition sapping power and possible knocks

It’s still better than other DI engines because combustion is more efficient.

What would be nice is to extend the lifespan of gasoline engines so its less of a burden on future generations who eventually have to give them up. make them as efficient as possible so the paradigm can shift slower.

Scusate la mia ignoranza ma la alfa Romeo non ha già fatto questo su il motore Twins Park?

I can see over pressure and blowing out of spark plug threads in the near future

Squeeze compression like no other squirt direct injection in spiral pattern. Spark the ignition between the intake as far as the output valve. Ok noted.

So dose that mean that the engine can't handle much boost because of the higher compression rasio??

Rotary is a 2stroke engine wich creates a lot of smoke. I think its harder to make these engines to achieve euro 6 or newer standards.

Ok, so I initially thought this engine had two modes, diesel like (no spark) and petrol like. What I see here is just an upgrade of the spark plug, to create a small "fire ball", instead of a spark, given higher compression ratio. Interesting, but also not very revolutionary.

For years, I knew that gasoline "fuel injected engines," were capable of operation without sparkplugs just like my diesel, just had an argument today, I look up just about everything else, don't know why I never looked it up before, See I'm correct once again!

It will exist as a range extender for electric cars. It may sound like nothing to people, but this means they are putting it back to production, and it means that they will work on improving it, Mazda is up on something

SKYACTIV X is a great solution, but not new. More than forty years ago, the MAN company produced the high-compression "FM" engine with spark ignition. This engine worked with all fuels, including super-gasoline. The efficiency of the SKYACTIV X engine is similar to that of the diesel engine and is not better. The use of high pressure injection and the use of a PM filter suggests that the emission of pollutants (NOx and PM) is similar to that of a diesel engine. I think, to achieve higher efficiency Mazda can be achieved with a new solution: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pZ-izZWLotLSg8Y.html The emission of pollutants can also be reduced by injecting non-tiny fuel droplets but high-pressure superheated fuel, which will immediately become gaseous in the cylinder. (See the same.) Source book: Heinz Grohe "Otto- und Dieselmotoren. Kurz und bündig" / Vogel-verlag, Würzburg, 1973. Where „FM” engine: F=Fremdzündung (spark ignition) M=Mittenkugelbrennraum (central spherical combustion chamber).
