In the century that we are in today, the demand for more efficient and cleaner engine has been on a rise. The curved piston engine possesses very high potential for commercialization because of its many advantages compared to the conventional internal combustion engine. These engines are mostly still in the conceptual stage where many patents are found but none of it have been commercialized or mass produced. Hence, this research will be dedicated to experimenting and researching for efficient methods to produce curved pistons for mass production. The structured framework to complete this research will be to experiment and access the efficiency of the casting method to mass produce a curved piston. The outcome of this project will assist industries to systematically identify the gaps and provide the solution related to the mass production of curved pistons. Therefore the industries could efficiently produce and move forward in the production and innovations of rotary engines.
