  • Ignition source adapted for positioning within a combustion chamber
    Patent number: 11085413
    Abstract: An opposed-piston engine optionally contains an ignition system that is at least partially contained within the combustion chamber to enhance the combustion efficiency of a fuel-air mixture within the combustion system. More specifically, the ignition system contains at least one spark plug having an elongated center electrical delivery electrode, and, an elongated ground electrode. Accordingly, the elongated electrodes extend from an area adjacent to the inner periphery of the cylinder to a radially central area within the combustion chamber. Yet further, a cooling jacket is incorporated to provide cooling of the spark plug.

  • Fuel ignition methods for opposed piston engines and related structures
    Patent number: 10989109
    Abstract: Fuel is ignited in an opposed-piston engine by the mating of unique protruding and recessed portions of opposed pistons.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 17, 2019
    Date of Patent: April 27, 2021
    Inventors: James Warren, William Vincent Meyers, Jr., Steven Niswander
  • Methods and devices for controlling the compression ratio of an opposed piston engine
    Patent number: 10907515
    Abstract: A valve with an opening is driven by an electric motor to rotate around the cylinder of an opposed piston engine such that the opening separately matches an intake and exhaust opening on the cylinder to allow fuel to enter the combustion chamber of the engine and allow exhaust to be expelled. The intake and exhaust cylinder openings may be separated from each other by approximately sixty degrees of the outside of the cylinder.
