The Baca Eight-Stroke Hi-Energy engine. Patented March 30th 1998. Patent number; 5,732,677.

The Baca eight-stroke engine is an engine that recycles,normally lost, heat-energy back to the combustion process as a function of its operation. This recycled heat-energy serves to raise the energy level of the fuel air mixture prior to combustion, as an end result the mix of fuel and air burns cleaner and produces more energy. The engine with its heat energy processing head design, also produces a capacitor effect that allows the use of a much smaller engine in the vehicle. Example; A 1989 Ford Taurus come from the factory with a 3.0 liter engine, an eight stroke engine for the same car would be about 0.5 liter. On eight-stroke engines, the blocks are smaller and the heads are larger because of its energy processing and heat-energy recycling function.

Todays four stroke engines are about 10 to 20 percent heat efficient. This means that 90 to 80 percent of the heat generated by combustion is by product heat energy, usually blown off into space, either through the radiator or by radiating heat of the engine and its components, into the atmosphere. This heat is pure energy that the consumer has bought and paid for at the pump, also a small percentage of the gas is still not burned by combustion and must be burned in the catalytic converter. Burning fuel at a higher energy level promotes both cleaner emissions out the exhaust pipe and better fuel efficiency overall.

By recycling the normally lost heat energy we achieve an overall heat efficiency rating greater than the 10 to 20 percent of todays current production four stroke engines. The term for the Baca Eight Stroke Engine concerning heat efficiency is called the HERR factor. The HERR factor, which stands for HEAT ENERGY RETURN RATE. The HERR FACTOR is the percentage of heat energy recycled back to the combustion chamber plus the heat energy efficiency rating for combustion. For example; If an eight stroke engine design has a recycling efficiency rating of 40% and the heat efficiency rating is 15% to 20%, then the HERR factor rating is 55% to 60%. The greater the HERR factor, the greater the fuel efficiency.

One of the fuels that Art Baca Automotive will be developing to run in the Baca Engine will be reffered to as HYDRANOL, this fuel is nothing more than a mix of ethanol and water. Hydranol raised to a high energy level in the Baca Engine will burn very similar to gasoline in todays production engines. This new engine technology and Hydranol, a clean self regenerating energy source is hoped will provide a new an important source of energy for the future. Like all new technology's, this must be developed and researched. The first prototypes of the Baca Engine will be known as the ALPHA PROTOTYPE. This will be a small four stroke engine that will be reconfigured to the eight-stroke Baca Engine Design. The Alpha prototype's head will incoroperate a ceramic metallic design that wil recycle heat energy back to the combustion chamber.

The alternate prototype will be known as the BETA PROTOTYPE. The Beta Prototype will be an all ceramic metallic Baca Engine Design composite.
