  • Patent number: 11566588
    Abstract: This invention relates to improvements in internal combustion engines. More particularly it relates to increased levels of usable electrical energy production and fuel efficiency within a relatively fixed speed, cam-track style Engine/Generator when combined with the secondary injection or injections of a rapidly expanding medium (usually water) into the engines combustion chambers during and after the combustion process has been initiated. The injection of said medium causing reduced fuel consumption, increased cylinder pressure, an extended usable piston stroke length, and increased usable energy production, while reducing the temperature of the combustion gases in order to control or eliminate the production of the pollutant, NOx and to further reduce thermal pollution exhausted into the atmosphere.

  • Patent number: 8113165
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine, and integrated electrical generator, both enclosed in a single housing. The engine has at least one cylinder and piston which extends radially from an axis of rotation about which a combination cam plate and generator armature assembly rotates to produce electrical energy as it passes a stationary electrical coil secured within the housing. The engine block, including at least one cylinder, remains stationary.

  • Patent number: 7984702
    Abstract: The combination of a piston with an integrated spark plug to be used in an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The plug-in-piston configuration allows for maximum combustion and fuel efficiency as well as increased power output. Further, the configuration minimizes the release of unburned fuel and pollutants into the atmosphere. A method is also disclosed by which electrical energy is communicated to a spark plug.
