Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of electromechanical equipment for use in the vehicular field. More specifically, it relates to a selector, doser and transmitter of torque and power between one or more engines and one or more final transmission shafts. Applied for example on a vehicle without a gearbox, the new mechanism allows for selection of the ratio between the speed of rotation of one or more driving sources (such as an internal combustion engine drive shaft) and the final transmission shaft. In a preferred configuration, this selection is controlled electronically, managing the broad scope of possibilities provided by the mechanical configuration of this mechanism to dose the torque and power and regulate the rpm of the driving sources, in a hybrid motorization system.
Abstract: The present invention provides an internal combustion engine that provides advantages of both typical 2-stroke engines and typical 4-stroke engines, but using a new design unlike either. The present engine provides for use of pistons as means for opening and closing intake and exhaust ports disposed on cylinder walls. It also provides two pistons per cylinder in an opposing configuration, such that one fuel explosion event causes motion of both pistons per cylinder, in opposite directions. Each piston of a cylinder is connected to a separate crankshaft, which completes a single revolution about its axis per fuel explosion event in a cylinder. In a single cycle of piston movement along the cylinder, a full cycle of ignition, exhaust, intake, and compression is achieved.
