Darn periods. It should work now. The period I ended the sentence with was appended to the URL.

The link works, but all you get is the abstract unless you spring for 25 bucks. Too much for just reading one article.

So... has anyone built anything yet?

According to the paper, "An experiment modifying an internal combustion engine to eliminate w_in is currently underway to ascertain the validity of the prediction of efficiency enhancement."

For those of you technically trained, you really ought to get a copy of this paper. The model detailed in it is capable of nearly exactly reproducing measured efficiencies of Otto, Brayton, and Stirling cycle engines. This is something existing theory simply cannot do. Even more compelling is that the theory reduces to Carnot or Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency under certain conditions implying that these models are specific cases of this more general theory. It is really a coup in the field of thermodynamics.
