  • Patent number: 9027346
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a combustion engine system having a balance arm, first and second sets of opposed combustion cylinders, and a set of opposed worked devices. The balance arm has a pivot point, and is configured so that an exploitable energy is taken from a kinetic energy of the balance arm. The first set of working combustion cylinders being interconnected by a common first piston rod that is connected to the balance arm. The second set of working combustion cylinders being interconnected by a common second piston rod that is connected to the balance arm so that the pivot point is between the first and second piston rods. The worked devices are interconnected by a common worked piston rod that is connected to the balance arm so that the worked devices are between the first and second sets of combustion cylinders.

  • Patent number: 8746205
    Abstract: Device for transmission of force from the pistons of a piston engine, where the pistons of two opposite combustion cylinders cooperate with alternating power strokes, the common piston rods of the cylinders being supported on a balance arm at a distance from the bearing of the balance arm to perform a rocking movement around the bearing, where the piston rods of two further opposite and cooperating combustion cylinders being supported on the balance arm opposite and at a distance from the bearing, and the balance arm being connected with a flywheel, where the bearings on the balance arm between the bearings of the balance arm and the bearings of the piston rods on the balance arm being directly connected with a shaft for energy transforming means.

  • Patent number: 7905684
    Abstract: Platform for a power plant equipped for producing oil and made of reinforced concrete to reduce maintenance cost, consisting of at least one module. Each module will consist of at least one circular column surrounded by concrete to create a desired outer surface. Any of the columns can be used to store the petroleum (oil, gas, production water, sand, etc.), act as expansion chamber(s) and act as passive ballast or separation tank. The platform will have at least one deck for oil producing equipment, at least one deck for a power plant, and will have equipment necessary for electric power distribution.
