Talk:Hyper engine

message: How is this engine hypothetical if it's already been built? Heck, a production Dodge Viper is pretty close at 505 cu.in. displacement and 500 hp at the crank.

message: This is a complete revision to the existing article. The existing article is nothing more than a lede, as all of the contents were deleted due to lack of citations, which are now included. Buster40004 Talk 21:32, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: My thanks to all who took a look at this work in process.  I will streamline it as suggested, and add that pesky cite for what may be the most significant point in the whole "hyper engine" debate.  I will ring the bell again when I try my best to bring this back from the dead.  Regards, Buster40004 Talk 14:51, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I have streamlined the article by reducing the detail in the development section, removed the specifications and applications from the engines directly connected to the project, and removed those engine not specifically in the project. I fear that any deletions or major revision to the development section will detract from the overall value of the article. I invite all concerned to jump in and smooth the rough edges as necessary.

replies: text: Commenting after talk page request. Much better, just some brief points as time is not on my side; a competition is mentioned, it's not quite clear to me when and how that competition ran, it's not mentioned in the lead. Were all the engines listed in that competition and classed officially as hyper engines? Possibly on the too technical side in places for lay readers. Cites should be the author name, not the book title, and 'designations.net' would be deemed a non-reliable source. Web sources used as references are not generally repeated in the external links section. Cheers Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 17:34, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

text: Ditto. As per Nimbus, I'd like the article to say how the project/"competition" ran, plus what those in the USAAC thought of the engines produced and when the project was wound up (I'm guessing once every man and his dog was able to turn out a engine with a high p/w and p/displacement ratios). There's some stylistic stuff, but I'd leave that until the work hits mainspace. GraemeLeggett (talk) 18:31, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Other than the small points raised above I have to say it looks quite good - almost ready to merge into the existing article. - Ahunt (talk) 00:06, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

text: A thought, there are only a few hyper engine designs - have you considered a table showing their overall characteristics? Nothing too detailed - name, configuration, no of cylinders, displacement. 08:25, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think a table would be a great idea and would show which individual articles had been written or needed writing, though the link colour. - Ahunt (talk) 11:29, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
