Abstract
Various exemplary embodiments relate to an engine including a cylindrical cassette that converts linear into rotational motion. The linear motion is provided by a normal cylinder and valve mechanism driving pistons in a reciprocating motion, and the rotational motion is transmitted to an output shaft. Further embodiments relate to methods of converting linear motion to rotational motion by using a cylindrical cassette.
Claims11
An apparatus comprising:
- a cylindrical cassette with a cylindrical inner sleeve and an cylindrical outer sleeve, the inner sleeve fitting inside the outer sleeve and configured so that when the outer sleeve is rotated in a first direction, the inner sleeve is also rotated, and when the outer sleeve is rotated in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the inner sleeve is not rotated;
- said cassette having a bevel gear at each axial end;
- and said outer sleeve having teeth oriented along the axis of the cassette.
An apparatus comprising
- a first cylindrical cassette with a first cylindrical inner sleeve and a first cylindrical outer sleeve, the first inner sleeve fitting inside the first outer sleeve and configured so that when the first outer sleeve is rotated in a first direction, the first inner sleeve is also rotated, and when the first outer sleeve is rotated in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the first inner sleeve is not rotated;
- said first cassette having a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear at each axial end;
- and said first outer sleeve having teeth oriented along the axis of the first cassette;
- a second cylindrical cassette in axial alignment with the first cylindrical cassette;
- the second cylindrical cassette having a second cylindrical inner sleeve and a second cylindrical outer sleeve, the second inner sleeve fitting inside the second outer sleeve and configured so that when the second outer sleeve is rotated in the first direction, the second inner sleeve is also rotated, and when the second outer sleeve is rotated in the second direction opposite to the first direction, the second inner sleeve is not rotated;
- said second cassette having a third bevel gear and a fourth bevel gear at each axial end;
- and said second outer sleeve having teeth oriented along the axis of the cassette;
- an output load shaft that is turned by the first inner sleeve and the second inner sleeve;
- a set of cylinders and pistons connected to racks and driving the racks in an alternating linear motion;
- where the racks interact with the teeth on the first outer sleeve and second outer sleeve to alternate between:
- rotating the first outer sleeve in the first direction and rotating the second outer sleeve in the second direction;
- and rotating the first outer sleeve in the second direction and rotating the second outer sleeve in the first direction.
