Izimoto zikagesi zinqoba umhlaba futhi isiphetho senjini evuthayo yangaphakathi sibonakala sivaliwe. Kodwa kusekhona ukuphila endaweni yokuphehla ugesi endala. Okungenani yilokho okucatshangwa onjiniyela be-Astreon njengoba bebonisa umqondo omusha we-ICE. Bathi iyinjini ecishe ibe ngu-zero emission, naphezu kokuthi uphethiloli ushiswa ezindaweni ezivuthayo.

Esikhundleni sama-piston, injini entsha inamagiya amaningana ajikelezayo afana kakhulu nezinjini zomoya zezindiza. Iphinde ifane nenjini ejikelezayo, kodwa enomklamo ongcono oqeda ubuthakathaka benjini yakwaWankel. Kalula nje, injini ye-Omega 1, eklanywe ngabakwa-Astreon Aerospace, isebenzisa imivimbo emine yenjini futhi iwahlukanise amagumba amabili.

Injini enama-shaft amabili iphenduka ibheke ezinhlangothini ezihlukene ngamagiya ahambisanayo, nama-rotor amane ahamba ngamabili kumashafu amabili. Ipheya yokuqala ibamba ukudonsa nokucindezelwa, kuyilapho ipheya yesibili yenza i-stroke evuthayo ne-exhaust. Lezi zengezwe yi-valve ye-rotary plate kanye ne-prechamber, etholakala phakathi kwamapheya amabili ama-rotors. Yilapho uphethiloli ujovwa khona.

Imithetho yokusebenza kwale njini inzima kakhulu kumuntu ovamile onjengawe noma mina ukuba ayiqonde. Ngenhlanhla, i-Astreon isibonise ividiyo enemininingwane ukuze isisize sibone ngeso lengqondo yonke inqubo. Le vidiyo iphinde ichaze ngokuningiliziwe izingxenye ezahlukene zenjini kanye neqhaza lazo enqubweni yomlilo. Ngenxa yobuciko obunembayo, le njini ayidingi noma yiziphi izimpawu ukuze igcine uketshezi ngaphakathi. Lo mklamo olula ngendlela emangalisayo ungase ubhekwe njengosongo ekusaseni lezimoto ezisebenza ngogesi, uthembisa impilo ende ngokulungiswa okuncane okudingekayo.

Njengoba igama lenkampani liphakamisa, kufanele kube injini ye-aero ekahle engasindi futhi enamandla kuyilapho ingadlidlizi ngokuphelele. Ingase futhi amandla a zonke izimoto, kusukela izithuthuthu imishini esindayo. Ngokusho kuka-Astreon, injini entsha evuthayo ikwazi ukwenza i-torque engu-160 hp no-170 lb-ft (230 Nm) kanti isisindo sayo esingu-35 kg kuphela. (15.9 kg). Ifinyelela isivinini sokungenzi lutho ku-1,000 rpm, kodwa ingafinyelela ku-25,000 rpm uma ilayisha ngokugcwele.

Kunjalo, i-Astreon iphakamisa ukuthi unga-daisy-chain ezimbili noma ngaphezulu zalezi zinjini ukuze uthole amandla engeziwe, futhi sicabanga ukuthi ezinkulu zingakhiwa. Azikho izinkinga zokuvala ngalo mqondo wenjini, ngokungafani nenjini evamile ejikelezayo. I-Astreon iphinde ithembise ukuthi ingasebenzisa uphethiloli ohlukahlukene okhipha umoya omncane kakhulu. Kuzwakala kukuhle kakhulu, kodwa ngokuqinisekile sizohlala siyibhekile le njini futhi sibone ukuthi ithuthuka kanjani ngokuzayo.
