  • Combustion engine linkage systems
    Patent number: 10215090
    Abstract: Combustion engine linkage mechanisms providing a longer piston stroke enabling high compression ratios without compromising the size or weight of the engine. The mechanisms accommodate different engine compression and expansion ratios to optimize thermodynamic efficiency for different loading conditions on demand.
    Type: Grant
