Abstract:
A piston apparatus may include a plurality of piston assemblies respectively having a first piston body and a first piston disposed within a first volume defined by the first piston body, a second piston body and a second piston disposed within a second volume defined by the second piston body, and a connection member coupled to the first piston and the second piston. The first and second volume may respectively include an expansion chamber and a compression chamber defined by opposite sides of the corresponding piston. The respective expansion chambers may fluidly communicate with a corresponding compression chamber of another one of the piston assemblies. The first volume of a first piston assembly may fluidly communicate with the first volume and the second volume of a second piston assembly, and the first volume of a third piston assembly may fluidly communicate with the first volume and the second volume of the second piston assembly.
