    摘要: Downstream expansion cylinders are associated with a combustion cylinder such that an overall surface area and displacement volume of the expansion cylinder is sufficient to lower the temperature of fluids associated with the combined engine to such an extent that a radiator can be eliminated in an associated vehicle, or other system. In a separate feature, a catalytic material is placed on surfaces which will “see” the hot exhaust gases such that catalytic conversion of impurities in the gases can be achieved within the engine itself. In yet another feature, water is recovered from a system having both a water injection expansion cylinder, and a combustion cylinder, and the recovered water is re-used for the expansion. In yet another feature, gearing is provided between the expansion cylinder and a combustion cylinder such that the output of the combined engine is optimized, and the two cylinders do not drive the crankshafts in a one-to-one fashion. In another feature the combustion cylinder's ignition timing is delayed (retarded) to manage thermal control of said combustion cylinder between it and a subsequent expansion cylinder or cylinders.

    摘要: The invention is concerned with a method of deriving mechanical work from a combustion gas in internal combustion engines and reciprocating internal combustion engines for carrying out the method. The invention includes methods and apparatuses for managing combustion charge densities, temperatures, pressures and turbulence in order to produce a true mastery within the power cylinder in order to increase fuel economy, power, and torque while minimizing. polluting emissions. In its preferred embodiments, the method includes the steps of (i) producing an air charge, (ii) controlling the temperature, density and pressure of the air charge, (iii) transferring the air charge to a power cylinder of the engine such that an air charge having a weight and density selected from a range of weight and density levels ranging from below atmospheric weight and density to heavier-than-atmospheric weight and density is introduced into the power cylinder, and (iv) then compressing the air charge at a lower-than-normal compression ratio, (v) causing a pre-determined quantity of charge-air and fuel to produce a combustible mixture, (vi) causing the mixture to be ignited within the power cylinder and (vii) allowing the combustion gas to expand against a piston operable in the power cylinders with the expansion ratio of the power cylinders being substantially greater than the compression ratio of the power cylinders of the engine. In addition to other advantages, the invented method is capable of producing mean effective cylinder pressures ranging from lower-than-normal to higher-than-normal. In the preferred embodiments, the mean effective cylinder pressure is selectively variable (and selectively varied) throughout the mentioned range during the operation of the engine. In an alternate embodiment related to constant speed-constant load operation, the mean effective cylinder pressure is selected from the range and the engine is configured, in accordance with the present invention, such that the mean effective cylinder pressure range is limited, being varied only in the amount required for producing the power, torque and speed of the duty cycle for which the engine is designed.

    摘要: A four-stroke engine with intake air compression chamber. The intake air compression chamber has a pressure responsive displaceable member therein to compress inlet air passively in response to differential pressure between a sealed crankcase and air in the inlet side of the inlet air compression chamber. The displaceable member is substantially impervious to air, oil, and fuel. When the piston moves away from the intake air compression chamber, decreasing pressure draws the displaceable member toward the crankcase, and the movement of the displaceable member draws into the intake side of the inlet air compression chamber through a one way inlet valve. When the piston moves toward the inlet air compression chamber, fluidwise, compressed gas in the crankcase causes increased pressure on the displaceable member, compressing the inlet air, and directing compressed inlet air out through a one-way outlet valve. Power in a four-stroke engine is increased without the necessity to employ superchargers or turbochargers.

    摘要: An internal combustion engine is provided wherein the crankcase is sealed from the oil pan to provide an airtight compression chamber wherein the air is compressed by action of the pistons. Air is withdrawn from the atmosphere through one-way valves on the engine block. The compressed air is then passed from the compression chamber into, optionally, a compressed air storage means where it is regulated through a valve for mixture with the air-fuel mixture from the carbureting means, thereby providing a boost in the air-fuel charge entering the combustion chambers. Lubricating modifications are also provided to lubricate the crankshaft and camshaft bearings located within the compression chamber.

    摘要: The invention relates to a 2 stroke single-cylinder or multi-cylinder engine which improves the scavenging system and its supply. It is formed by two cylinders (10) and (11) forming an annular chamber (5), by a crown piston (6), two fresh gas inlets (4) and (5) and a pure air inlet (2). The principle consists in scavenging the cylinder (10) with pure air in order to evacuate the exhaust gases, avoiding any contact with the fresh gases, whilst improving the supply. The invention is particularly intended for small cylinders. Its application to the 4 stroke engine requires use of a special piston (D3), moving in an adapted cylinder formed by two elements numbered (D8) and (D9), forming with the piston an annular chamber (D1). This type of piston allows better filling of the cylinder and better evacuation of the exhaust gases by propelling pure air into the cylinder. The invention is intended for large capacity diesel or petrol 2 or 4 stroke engines.

    摘要: A four-stroke engine with an isolation chamber. The isolation chamber has a pressure-sensitive wall attached to or slidably mounted within the isolation chamber. The pressure-sensitive wall is substantially impervious to air, oil, and fuel. When the piston moves away from the crankcase, a vacuum is created in the crankcase. This draws the pressure-sensitive wall toward the crankcase, fluidwise, and movement of the pressure sensitive wall pulls air into the intake side of the isolation chamber through a one-way valve or time induction mechanism. When the piston moves toward the crankcase, increased pressure within the crankcase forces the pressure-sensitive wall away, fluidwise, from the crankcase and pushes air from the isolation chamber into the combustion chamber. The pressure-sensitive wall prevents oil from flowing from the crankcase. Power in a four-stroke engine is increased up to as much as 40%, without the necessity to employ superchargers or turbochargers.
