  • Patent number: 8646558
    Abstract: Ultra efficient hydraulic hybrid drivetrain of vehicle with a single cylinder module of engine, air compressor, hydraulic pump and motor transmit power without crankshaft, pipes and hoses. The engine piston fastened to pump plunger located within rotor comprised two diametrically opposite axial rods associated with the plunger, compressor piston and swash plate. This plate turn and independently shift by digital control changes the engine piston stroke, changes the engine compression ratio for super efficient homogeneous charge compression ignition and either kind of fuel use. The hybrid by hydraulic accumulator provides start, idling and work mode of operation. Compressor's piston diameter greater than engine piston diameter and plunger pumping fluid and simultaneously driving additional plungers enables to provide more than 130 hp per liter engine displacement. Such unique features and energy recuperation enables to achieve 80 mile per gallon for the 1500 kg weight medium car in city conditions.

  • Patent number: 7409826
    Abstract: A compact hydrostatic energy recuperation system comprises hydrostatic converter with first and second pump-motors, which shafts fastened by coupling. The first pump-motor having greater displacement volume associated with the machinery working equipment hydraulic system by hydraulic distributor. The second pump-motor associated with the pneumohydraulic accumulator by two-position valve.

  • Patent number: 7373870
    Abstract: The universal hybrid (26) comprises a two-cycle engine (28), boosted by the engine power reciprocating compressor (32) and a hydraulic pump (34). The pump plunger (148) fastened to engine piston (72) provide direct energy transmission to the compressor and pump. The plunger and compressor piston (94) moving in opposite direction coupled each to one of two diametrically opposite rotor's (36) axial rods, which double-sided interact with the pivotable swash plate (42). The swash plate turn provides simultaneously the engine, compressor and pump variable displacement volume with engine invariable compression ratio while the swash plate turn axis fixed. This increases the engine power range using the minimum specific fuel consumption. The swash plate turn axis shifting provides the engine compression ratio change for the either kind of fuel use.
