Abstract: A true two-stroke (power and exhaust) internal combustion piston engine combining direct injection of all combustion and working fluid elements with exhaust valve(s) that open early during the power stroke if cylinder pressure falls below exhaust manifold pressure, will operate efficiently from power levels produced by conventional four-stroke engines of a fraction of the displacement of the two-stroke engine to power levels attainable by conventional four-stroke engines of twice the two-stroke engine displacement. No additional external systems will be required to enhance performance or control emissions, as all such enhancements are equivalent to control of the combustion and working fluid components. The magnitude of the combustion charge determines the power, and the makeup of the combustion components determine exhaust emissions.

Abstract: A matrix of immobile batteries/battery packs automatically connected in optimized serial/parallel structure to provide optimum current at optimum potential to charge a mobile battery pack in the shortest practical time by direct DC connection. The immobile matrix, immobile battery packs or individual immobile batteries can be charge from limited electric service in the most efficient manner (optimize the AC to DC conversion) and at the optimum time (limit the cost of AC power or choose times of low load on the AC grid) unrestricted by the period of charging the mobile battery pack.
