15. The mixed-gas engine wherein, in accordance with claim 1, after putting in operation the crankshaft/connecting-rods/piston subassembly (B) and cam axles (157) and (127) by universal joints (74-163-132) and (71-162-160), still of 360°, and at the time of putting in operation compressor (168) by drive belt (169) by the movement imparted by drive wheel (158), still of 180°, the moment when the first operation cycle of the mixed-gas engine is achieved, the pressurized mixed gas remaining inside recuperator-distributor subassemblies (G) and (D), the oil-bath subassembly (A), pressure lines (164), valve (165), pressure gauge (166), bottle (167) and compressor (168), that begins a second operation cycle of the mixed-gas engine and then, after the second operation cycle of the mixed-gas engine, it can accomplish as many operation cycles of the mixed-gas engine as desired, until the pressurized mixed gas circuit is interrupted by closing valve (165), if need be, being able to be started again by reopening valve (165), it being possible to recompose the old pressurized mixed gas circuits; in practice, the mixed-gas engine in accordance with the invention can operate until stopping in any position, or until changing the oil, when the pressurized mixed gas circuit is depressurized, and the restarting of the first operation cycle of the pressurized mixed-gas engine, describes above that can function until its stopping.

16. The mixed-gas engine wherein, in accordance with claim 1, it can be designed and dimensioned for types of mixed-gas engines with an odd number of cylinders, greater than three, positioned in line, for types of mixed-gas engines with an odd number of cylinders equal to or greater than three laid out in “V,” for types of mixed-gas engines with an odd number of cylinders equal to or greater than three, in a fan, for types of mixed-gas engines with an odd number of cylinders equal to or greater than three, in a star, for types of mixed-gas engines with “n” cylinders in parallel with an odd number of cylinders equal to or greater than three, in line, in “V,” in fan or in star.
