LiquidPiston is producing a major reimagining of the traditional combustion engine, unlocking a potential tenfold increase in power and 30% more fuel efficiency. The innovation has already attracted significant attention, with $30 million in government contracts and a revenue growth of 156% last year. The company has already raised over $16 million from retail investors. LiquidPiston is currently open for investment, and anyone can invest.
The innovation, developed by Dr. Alexander Shkolnik and Dr. Nikolay Shkolnik, founders of LiquidPiston, involves a patented thermodynamic cycle that allows their X-Engine to run on a variety of fuels, including hydrogen. Their aim was to rethink traditional engine technology, specifically the inefficiency of small gasoline engines and the bulkiness of diesel engines.
The company’s two core technologies, the X-Engine™ and their patented thermodynamic cycle, form the basis for the newly introduced XTS-210 engine, which is notably 80% smaller than comparable diesel engines and boasts 25 horsepower.

The company’s innovative approach has also led to the development of the High-Efficiency Hybrid Cycle (HEHC™), a patent-pending thermodynamic cycle that can potentially be up to 30% more fuel efficient than traditional Otto or Diesel cycles.
Contrasting their X-Engine to traditional rotary engines, they’ve resolved long-standing challenges like sealing, cooling, lubrication, emissions, and efficiency. The X-Engine is touted as extremely compact and lightweight, with nearly zero vibration.
LiquidPiston’s innovation is already creating a buzz in various sectors. They’ve been awarded over $30 million in contracts from the Department of Defense, with applications for their technology ranging from drones and unmanned aircraft to mobile generators. Their technology could drastically reduce the size of a battery in a hybrid-electric car, potentially addressing a looming lithium shortage. In urban air mobility, the company’s lightweight engines are opening new possibilities for air taxis.
The company’s XTS-210 engine has been developed under a $9 million contract from the Army, making it ideal for demanding military and commercial applications. Moreover, they’ve begun to make headway into the commercial markets with the recent launch of the XTS-210.
The company is currently expanding its manufacturing capacity and actively encouraging investments from shareholders to join in their growth. The Shkolniks envision a future where LiquidPiston technology powers a more efficient, sustainable world. For a limited time, anyone can invest in LiquidPiston.
