Abstract: The horizontally opposed center fired engine improves on the traditional design of the horizontally opposed engines and center fired engines with a better engine geometry. The present invention utilizes four pairs of opposing pistons to compress a larger volume of air-fuel mixture within four different cylinders. The four different cylinders are radially positioned around a center axle in order to achieve a perfectly symmetric engine geometry. The center axle consists of two different shafts spinning in two different directions, which could drastically reduce engine vibrations in the present invention. Engine vibrations are caused by a change in engine speed and result in a loss of energy. Due to the design, the present invention will only experience energy loss in the form of entropy and friction. Thus, the present invention can convert a higher percentage of chemical energy into mechanical energy than any other internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A camshaft assembly including a target wheel is manufactured using an assembly process in which the camshaft is formed from a hollow tube. After the cam rings and a target wheel ring have been correctly positioned on the hollow tube, the tube is pressurized to expand its diameter, locking the rings into position on the tube. Locating the target wheel along the axis of the camshaft and spaced from the camshaft end allows the sensor to be located along the axis of the camshaft, and precludes the need to increase the overall length of the head to accommodate the target wheel and the sensor. In a dual overhead engine, the target wheels may be mounted on the two camshafts so that they may be read by a dual element sensor that is mounted between the two wheels.

Abstract: Disclosed is a valve mechanism for an internal combustion engine that uses a motor to open/close a valve body of each cylinder. The valve mechanism includes a camshaft that is rotated by the motor and equipped with cams for driving the valve body of a plurality of cylinders; control means that drives the motor while making a mode switch between a normal rotation drive mode in which the camshaft is continuously rotated in one direction to drive the valve body and a swing drive mode in which the camshaft is swung to drive the valve body; and change means that changes the relative angular positions of cylinder-specific cams on the camshaft.

Abstract: A twin cylinder engine, includes a pair of cylinder members mounted to mounting surfaces of a crankcase, and cylinder heads mounted to the cylinder members. The cylinder members are modular components, which may be pre-assembled with components of the valve train as packaged units before the cylinder members are attached to the crankcase. Each cylinder member rotatably supports a cam gear which extends into the crankcase for driving engagement with the crankshaft. The cylinder members may be configured for either side valve-type (“L-head”), or overhead valve-type (“OHV”) engines, and the cylinder members may also be used in single cylinder engines.

Abstract: Disclosed is a valve system that provides a means of controlling the charging and exhausting of the combustion chamber(s) of internal combustion engines. In this system, asymmetrical valve bodies are first lifted a nominal distance from their sealing surfaces, then are rotated by their non-centered stems, which operate in conventional valve guides. Rapid port opening, relatively long duration at the full open position, and rapid port closing are achieved. This dual-action valve motion is provided by a drum type camshaft featuring radial protrusions to lift the valves from their sealing surfaces and circumferential cam grooves, which rotate the valves in palindromic fashion. A multi-level valve layout allows for relatively larger port sizes, as it lets the valves move without interference with one another. A mechanism for actuating the valves by electromechanical means is also disclosed.

Abstract: The valve drive mechanism is particularly suitable for internal combustion engines of motor vehicles. The mechanism has at least one driven cam element and a valve control member which is moved (translationally or rotationally) by the cam element. The cam element is rotatingly mounted in a flexible surround element which is connected to the valve control member in a plane orthogonal to the axis of rotation of the cam element. The surround element can be reversably extended, such as elastically extended, to enable a variation in the resulting valve lift.

Abstract: An apparatus having two pistons journalled elastically yieldable counter to tensioning direction. As a consequence of double-acting construction, impacts or shocks of an endless drive and with that wear of a primary-side drive element, that is that of a tooth belt or chain connecting the crank shaft with the cam shaft can be avoided. If during operation of the apparatus moreover shocks or impacts arise and occur in the endless drive, then the pistons can yield elastically so that tensioning shoes fastened on the pistons are not subject to any increased wear. As a consequence of resilient damping of the shocks or impacts, the entire apparatus is also less strongly burdened and loaded so that a long life expectancy is assured. As a consequence of the elastically yieldable journalling, the pistons are always again loaded into the tensioning positioning thereof so that the tensioning of the endless drive is not influenced thereby.
