Abstract: A valve nozzle assembly including a number of valve nozzles arranged in a predetermined pattern. Each valve nozzle may include at least one coil; and a magnet adapted to be movable between a closed position closing the nozzle and an open position opening the nozzle, wherein a movement of the magnet between the closed and the open position is controllable by a magnetic field from the at least one coil.

Abstract: The engine includes a first and a second cylinder chamber. The first chamber receives gas through a first inlet valve which gas will be compressed by a piston in the cylinder and will leave the first chamber through a first outlet valve. The second chamber receives compressed gas from the first chamber through a second inlet valve. The gas expands in the second chamber while performing a work on the piston before leaving the second chamber through a second outlet valve. The engine is controlled such that gas will flow from the first to the second chamber while the engine performs a working cycle and the engine is thus controlled such that a piston is used for compressing gas which performs a work on the same piston, which is connected by a rod to a cranking mechanism to transfer work from the rod by an essentially only rectilinear movement.
