Abstract:
Conversion of an internal combustion engine fitted with a direct injection liquid fuel delivery system to a dual fuel system so that the engine can selectively operate on a primary liquid fuel or a secondary fuel. In a typical application, the primary liquid fuel comprises gasoline and the secondary fuel comprises a liquefied gaseous fuel such as LPG delivered to the engine in a liquid phase. The direct injection liquid fuel delivery system comprises a plurality of liquid fuel direct injectors (15) incorporated in a fuel rail (17) and operable in response to control signals received from an engine control unit (ECU), which is typically the OEM unit (21). The fuel rail (17) communicates with a liquid fuel supply line (13) to receive fuel delivery to the fuel injectors (15) and is fitted with a fuel pressure sensor (23). The conversion provides a dual fuel direct injection system (30) having a gaseous fuel supply (33) including a delivery line (35). The delivery line (35) communicates with a fuel selection valve (37) installed in the liquid fuel supply line (13). With this arrangement, either liquid fuel or a liquid phase of the gaseous fuel can be selectively delivered to the fuel rail (17) and the fuel injectors 15, according to the setting of the fuel selection valve 37. The conversion further involves installation of a supplementary control means in the form of a supplementary ECU (41) which operates in conjunction with the OEM ECU (21). The supplementary ECU (41) is configured to intercept signals from the pressure sensor (23) and to deliver a corresponding interception signal to the OEM ECU (21) to cause the OEM ECU to operate the fuel injectors (15) in a manner designated by supplementary ECU (41).
Abstract:
The SINTHESIZED FOUR STROKE ENGINE can work with all cylinders simultaneously in SYNTHESIZED CYCLE, or with all cylinders in normal four-stroke cycle, or work with part of its cylinders in SYNTHESIZED CYCLE and the rest may work in normal four stroke cycle. This, thanks to the use of its innovative system of servo-controlled synchronized clutch connection (26) and disconnection of cylinders (25), which can monitor and adjust the angle of coupling of the auxiliary cylinder (25) and the independent electronic control of the admission valves (8) and exhaustion valves (20), which can switch between the types of synchronization, synchronizing the exhaust valves (2) and the admission valves (7) with the crank shaft (17a and 17b) for the work cycle in use in that instance, commanded either manually or automatically by the micro-processed electronic controls central system (9).

Abstract:
An engine capable of use with multiple different types of fuels including gasoline, alcohol based fuels, and heavy fuels such as diesel, JP5, JP8, Jet A, and kerosene based fuels. The engine (10) includes a main cylinder (25) having a compression chamber (26) at one end and a piston (31) that is movable along the length of the cylinder (25) and which connects to a crankshaft (23) for the engine (10). A fuel delivery system (72) delivers a combustible mixture of fuel and air through a fuel delivery valve (73) into the combustion chamber (26) at a sonic velocity of flow such that the fuel is substantially atomized into the air of the combustible mixture delivered to the combustion chamber (26). The combustible mixture is ignited by an igniter (160) within the combustion chamber (26) to urge the piston (31) along the cylinder for driving the crankshaft (23) of the engine (10).

Abstract:
A combustion chamber arrangement for two-cycle or four-cycle internal combustion engines, where the traditional piston is replaced by a reciprocating disk that, together with the cylinder wall, creates two sealed combustion chambers for separate combustion cycles. In each combustion chamber a traditional combustion cycle takes place, such that two complete combustion cycles occur within overlapping cylinder volumes. In a four-stroke version, the cylinder produces power on two out of every four strokes. In a two-stroke version, the cylinder produces power on every stroke. The reciprocating disk is connected to two rods that extend through the ends of the cylinder. A power transmission rod transfers combustion power to a standard crankshaft, or through gears to a drive shaft, and a balance rod balances the pressure area on the two sides of the reciprocating disk. A special bushing seal configuration inhibits leakage at the end of the cylinders about the rods, and in some cases the power transmission rods of multiple cylinders are coupled to a common connecting rod by a power transmission bridge spanning the cylinders.
