摘要:
The new embodiment of a highly efficient internal combustion hydraulic engine with a vane torquing device herein being provided, is designed to: a).—Maximize to the maximum extent possible the power and pressure produced by each combustion and convert it into mechanical use, and b).—To fit the engine snugly into all size trucks, pick-ups, heavy equipment, large and mid-size vehicles, snowmobiles, boats, buses, by placing the torquing device just below the cylinders. This new embodiment uses three electromagnetic actuators and one mechanical cam actuator to operate. It also has the following two additional features: first, an internal check valve located inside the block, which will make the engine more versatile, adaptable and supple to various road conditions. And second, a flexible longitudinal metal pin between the cam and the blind-type check-out-valve, to make the functioning of the engine more smooth and durable.

An internal combustion engine includes a chamber (12) and a flexible dividing member (18) secured to wall of the chamber and dividing the chamber into a first chamber portion (14) having a variable volume and a second chamber portion (16) having a variable volume. The engine has inlet valving (20, 22) to admit constituents of a combustible mixture into the first chamber portion for combustion therein to provide a pressure increase to cause flexing of the flexible dividing member to reduce the volume of the second chamber portion to force a liquid from the second chamber portion as an energy output of the chamber. The engine has input valving (98) to admit an aqueous fluid into the first chamber portion to provide an aqueous fluid supply in the first chamber portion to protect the flexible dividing member.

The hydraulic engine includes first and second reaction chambers, the first and second reaction chambers each having an enclosure within which is disposed a floating piston. An impulse turbine is in fluid communication with the first and second reaction chambers. A delay valve is in fluid communication with the first and second reaction chambers and the impulse turbine, the delay valve operable to switch between a first position and a second position, the first position providing a flow of pressurized fluid to the first reaction chamber to cause an explosion therein and the second position providing a flow of pressurized fluid to the second reaction chamber to cause an explosion therein. Successive explosions in the first and second reaction chambers provide flows of high pressure fluid to drive the impulse turbine and to switch the delay valve.

A two-cycle internal combustion engine includes two opposed pistons reciprocatable within a cylinder, between which an air-fuel mixture is injected and ignited. One of the pistons, a compression piston, is connected to a rotatable flywheel for storing energy from reciprocation of the compression piston during the adiabatic expansion stroke. The other piston, a power piston, is attached to a pump piston which operates in a hydraulic pump to displace a hydrostatic fluid at a constant reaction pressure but at a variable stroke. Work is removed from this engine through the hydrostatic fluid, which can be fed to a hydrostatic drive unit. The flywheel is not connected to the primary load, but is used principally to drive the compression piston upward during the compression stroke of the engine. During the compression stroke, the air-fuel mixture is compressed and ignited to a pressure determined by the hydraulic reaction pressure in the hydraulic pump. The gas column is pushed upward in the cylinder, pushing the power piston upward to displace hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic pump. Ignition of the air-fuel mixture occurs during the compression stroke before the compression piston reaches top-dead-center, and can be advanced or delayed to decrease or increase the energy stored in the flywheel.

This invention relates to a modular mechanism and methods for synchronizing the speed of one engine with a reference speed such as another engine particularly as found in boats. A physically limited range of fine tuning is combined with the normal operation of existing manual control over its full range of course adjustment, without interference, by way of an adjustable link coupled non-resiliently in series with the throttle linkage and allowed to slide along a non-circular shaft or key that causes micrometer adjustments in length of the link between the manual control and the throttle when the key is turned. The key can be turned by a differential device or reversible motor responding to continuous or interruptable power related to the engine speeds. The device will not bind and need not be stopped from turning at or between its limits because both ends of the linkage cannot encounter opposing stops simultaneously, the link can slide longitudinally on the key, and the key rotates freely at the limits of adjustments. Phasing is also described.

Disclosed is a modular engine assembly incorporating a primary engine, an auxiliary engine and a device for storing kinetic energy. The kinetic energy storage device is drivingly coupled to the primary engine. In response to demand for additional power, the auxiliary engine is selectively engaged with the energy storage device by a clutch. The auxiliary engine is thereby turned over and brought up to speed. As the auxiliary engine is brought up to speed, its ignition is turned on and fuel is supplied in sequence whereby the auxiliary engine starts or fires only after it is turning over at a high RPM. Once started, the auxiliary engine drives the transmission through the clutch and primary engine thus increasing available power upon demand.
