Abstract:

Test results of an oil free, solid film lubricated internal combustion gasoline engine employing molybdenum metal and reservoirs for lubricant in selected wear zones show a performance life of 6 hours at speeds of 2500 - 3000 rpm. A similar test engine run at low temperatures shows a rapid starting capability at -65F. Author
