  • INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES
    Publication number: 20140196693
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine comprising at least one cylinder) and a crankshaft disposed at one end of the cylinder. Within each cylinder there is a pair of opposed, reciprocating pistons that form a combustion chamber (28) therebetween, including an outer piston being the piston furthest from the crankshaft and an inner piston. The pistons drive the crankshaft (14) via respective drive linkages. The drive linkage for the outer piston is external to the cylinder.

  • Internal combustion engines
    Patent number: 8499726
    Abstract: The invention provides a 2-stroke internal combustion engine comprising two opposed cylinders, each cylinder housing two opposed pistons and having at least one exhaust port and at least one intake port, and a crankshaft having asymmetrically arranged journals and scotch-yoke mechanisms for driving the journals from the pistons. The pistons in each cylinder operate to open its exhaust port or ports before its intake port or ports and to close its exhaust port or ports before its intake port or ports.
