摘要:
Fuel management system for efficient operation of a spark ignition gasoline engine. Injectors inject an anti-knock agent such as ethanol directly into a cylinder of the engine. A fuel management microprocessor system controls injection of the anti-knock agent so as to control knock and minimize that amount of the anti-knock agent that is used in a drive cycle. It is preferred that the anti-knock agent is ethanol. The use of ethanol can be further minimized by injection in a non-uniform manner within a cylinder. The ethanol injection suppresses knock so that higher compression ratio and/or engine downsizing from increased turbocharging or supercharging can be used to increase the efficiency of the engine.

摘要:
An air hybrid vehicle is described powered by an internal combustion engine (16) which may or may not be equipped with a supercharger or turbocharger (10) for boosting the engine (16). In the invention, power is taken from the vehicle to drive the engine (16) during deceleration or coasting of the vehicle. The engine (16) absorbs kinetic energy from the vehicle and uses that energy to produce boost air which is transferred and stored in a boost air storage tank (34) on board the vehicle at a storage pressure not exceeding 3 bar absolute pressure. The vehicle achieves fuel saving and high performance by boost substitution when this boost air is used to supply the engine (16) for short periods during acceleration or cruising of the vehicle without relying on any air charger, temporarily fulfilling the role of an air charger without actually driving an air charger by substituting the boost normally supplied by an air charger with an equivalent boost produced and stored during regenerative braking. To accommodate a large boost air storage tank (34), the body of the vehicle is adapted with air-tight volumes linked together to form one large storage volume.

A low pressure, low cost electronic fuel injection system (18) for small hand-held two cycle engines (1) is provided which employs a number of improvements, including by way of example and not of limitation, an improved low cost injector construction (45), a throttle body integration (10) that includes mounting the operational components of the supply system on a single unit, an improved ignition module (40), a pressure regulated fuel system controlled by an electronic control unit (42) employing and an adaptive algorithm based on engine speed which controls the speed by varying the amount of fuel provided to the engine.

摘要:
An electromagnetic motor includes a permanent magnet connected to a piston component of the motor and defining a linear reciprocating displacement path; and two electromagnets connected to the cylinder housing that periodically and alternately interact with the permanent magnet. The electromagnets are electrically connected to a power source for their selective activation. The electromagnets magnetically attract the permanent magnet over a respective first portion of the displacement path when un-activated and magnetically repulse the permanent magnet over a respective second portion of the displacement path when momentarily activated by the power source. The motor could include a plurality of second permanent magnets connected to the crankshaft and defining a circular displacement path, and a plurality of third electromagnets connected to the power source and mounted on the crankcase adjacent and radially outwardly from the circular displacement path of the second permanent magnets to periodically and successively interact therewith.

Fuel management system for enhanced operation of a spark ignition gasoline engine. Injectors inject an anti-knock agent such as ethanol directly into a cylinder. It is preferred that the direct injection occur after the inlet valve is closed. It is also preferred that stoichiometric operation with a three way catalyst be used to minimize emissions. In addition, it is also preferred that the anti-knock agents have a heat of vaporization per unit of combustion energy that is at least three times that of gasoline.

The invention relates to a modular internal combustion engine (1) comprising an engine housing (17, 117) with a crankshaft drive (40) having at least one reciprocating piston (4) in a cylinder (2), which acts on a crankshaft (6) by means of a connecting rod (5), and a variable-speed gear box (10) connected to the crankshaft (6) via a disengaging clutch (8), and a gearbox output train (12) which connects to at least one drive shaft (15) of a vehicle. In order to serve a large variety of vehicle types with a single low-cost engine design the proposal is put forward that the internal combustion engine (1) should have at least one main module (26) including the subassemblies engine housing (17), crankshaft drive (40), variable-speed gearbox (10), and gearbox output train (12), and at least one auxiliary module (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32) attachable to the main module (26), and that no mechanical connection be provided between the variable-speed gearbox (10) and the gearbox output train (12) within the main module (26) but that a rotational connection be effected by attaching a first auxiliary module (27) to the main module (26).
