Abstract: A two-stroke engine includes an engine block which defines a fuel/air transfer cylinder and a combustion cylinder. A piston is operative within the combustion cylinder in a two-stroke power producing manner while a fuel/air transfer piston is operative within the fuel/air transfer cylinder to inject fuel/air mixture into the combustion cylinder. The engine further includes a cylinder head which supports a plurality of movable valves to control the flow of air and fuel through the engine.
Abstract: A combustion engine having a crankcase and a cylinder, wherein a piston is guided to be movable in strokes inside cylinder, piston movably limiting a combustion chamber, and wherein in cylinder at least one transfer port is inserted, which extends between crankcase and combustion chamber, and through which an ignition mixture can flow from crankcase into combustion chamber, and which opens out into combustion chamber in an upper discharge area in such a way that ignition mixture preferably does not reach transfer ports and thus the crankcase, while at the same time a direct connection of crankcase to combustion chamber is maintained via a transfer port, which is as short as possible, it is suggested that at least one storage chamber is provided which is connected to upper discharge area and in which exhaust gas flowing from the combustion chamber into discharge area can be temporarily stored.
Abstract: The horizontally opposed center fired engine improves on the traditional design of the horizontally opposed engines and center fired engines with a better engine geometry. The present invention utilizes four pairs of opposing pistons to compress a larger volume of air-fuel mixture within four different cylinders. The four different cylinders are radially positioned around a center axle in order to achieve a perfectly symmetric engine geometry. The center axle consists of two different shafts spinning in two different directions, which could drastically reduce engine vibrations in the present invention. Engine vibrations are caused by a change in engine speed and result in a loss of energy. Due to the design, the present invention will only experience energy loss in the form of entropy and friction. Thus, the present invention can convert a higher percentage of chemical energy into mechanical energy than any other internal combustion engine.
Abstract: The present invention provides a spark-ignition type cross-cycle internal combustion engine that can conduct the seven processes of the spark-ignition type cross-cycle operation with gasoline and bio-fuel and natural gas.
