  • Patent number: 4121422
    Abstract: An internal combustion two stroke engine is provided having at least one cylinder within which a piston reciprocates. The engine is joined to a gear box which includes a ring gear. A pair of gears having diameters half that of the ring gear move within the latter. At least one of said pair of gears is connected to a piston by a pin extending between the piston and the periphery of said gear. An additional pair of gears are fixed to respective ones of the first-mentioned gear pair and are operatively joined to a pinion to which a drive shaft is secured. A turbine and filter arrangement is positioned on the side of the engine opposite the gear box whereby exhaust gases from the engine are directed to the turbine to develop power at an output drive shaft joined to the turbine and to filter pollutants from the gases.
