摘要:
An internal combustion engine operating on spherical rotary valves in combination with a steam engine driven by the exhaust heat of the internal combustion engine, both engines are utilized to generate electricity, a portion of the waste steam is also utilized to scrub the pollutants from the exhaust of the internal combustion engine prior to its introduction to the ambient atmosphere.

An exhaust controller includes an exhaust control valve. The exhaust controller is capable of adjusting an exhaust timing of a spark ignition type, two stroke internal combustion engine depending upon the rotational speed of the engine. The exhaust control valve has a structure and operation which greatly reduces exhaust leakage past the exhaust control valve. As a result, the scavenging efficiency and the charging efficiency are improved and the compression ratio of the engine is better maintained. In operation, the exhaust control valve maintains a relatively consistent cross-section throughout the exhaust gas flow passage. As a result, exhaust pressure is decreased, resulting in an increase in the output and efficiency of the engine.

In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, an improvement in the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine (10) is provided. A spherically shaped rotating element (22) is mounted in the engine head (20) for rotation about a first axis (24). The rotating element has a notch which aligns between the combustion chamber and inlet and exhaust passages as the rotating element rotates. A seal assembly (42) seals against the spherical rotating element. The annular seal (54) in contact with the rotating element rotates about an axis and is self-centering in its sealing action to reduce wear and increase sealing effectiveness. The annular seal is mounted and urged into sealing engagement with the rotating element with nested annular seal retainers (56) which also rotate. Various ignition sources can be used, including a spark plug (48) mounted in the rotating element, a laser ignition, multiple spark plugs and plugs having multiple ignition sparks as they pass in an arc across the combustion chamber. The advantages of the invention can be applied to two and four cycle engines and engines combusting gasoline, diesel or other fuels.
摘要:
An adjustable rotating valve shaft system for the introduction and exhausting of gases of the internal combustion engine, comprising an adjustable rotating valve shaft driven by the crankshaft, consisting of smaller sections, one or more per cylinder, each section containing either or both intake and exhaust passages, each section being serrated or notched on both ends so as to inter-lock and be adjustable as per valve timing specifications. Intake and exhaust passage are separated by annular seal rings. The complete shaft assembly rotates in a lubricated one piece or two-halved machined bore, said bore having access to openings to combustion chambers of all cylinders, and all openings of the intake and exhaust manifolds. The exhaust passage has an extention protruding into but not fluidly exposed or open to the venturi shaped passage in the intake section of the rotating valve shaft and in doing so imparting intense heat to the incoming charge so as to atomize it effectively for greater volumetric efficiency. The rotating shaft rotates at one-fourth speed that of the crankshaft, thereby reducing wear and noise levels to a minimum, and providing full opening and closing of passages in shorter periods of time at proper sequence of valve timing, and eliminating all reciprocating parts which are found in conventional valve systems in use today.
摘要:
An internal combustion engine employing a rotary valve having a single passage which is adapted to provide both intake and exhaust valving functions. The valve is formed with a circular outer periphery and is mounted for rotation about a transverse axis between intake and exhaust ports which are provided at the head end of the combustion chamber. The passage is defined by a concaval recess which extends across a chord of the valve periphery. Means is provided for rotating the valve in timed relationship with movement of a piston within the chamber so that the passage moves into simultaneous register with the intake port and combustion chamber during the intake phase, and into simultaneous register with the exhaust port and combustion chamber during the exhaust phase.
