  • Patent number: 8443778
    Abstract: A dual crankshaft internal combustion engine having two rotating offset crankshafts respectively attached to connecting rods. Each of the connecting rods, in turn, are pivotally attached to piston rods, which are located an equidistance between the crankshafts. The piston rods are attached to a piston reciprocally disposed in a cylinder. The crankshafts are aligned in parallel and are geared together, either directly or indirectly, thus causing the crankshafts to rotate in the same or opposite directions, depending upon the linkage gear configuration. The dual crankshaft internal combustion engine utilizes leverage from the wedge-effect of the offset crankshafts to provide increased torque, power duration and fuel efficiency.

  • Patent number: 4417562
    Abstract: A mixture control device for automatically controlling the air to fuel mixture of a conventional carburetor involving a plurality of sloped radial vanes circumferentially located within the annulus formed by the booster venturi and the venturi tube. By inducing significant centrifugal motion in the air passing outside the booster venturi the problems associated with fuel to air mixture changes associated with changes in elevation and changes in seasonal temperatures are alleviated.
