Abstract
An internal combustion engine includes tubular roller valve and a fuel injector assembly. The fuel injector assembly includes a fixed tubular outer insulator with holes and a fixed inner insulator with holes. A rotatable tubular valve is between the fixed outer insulator and the fixed inner insulator, the rotatable tubular valve having holes in a staggered configuration. A fuel injector is connected to each of the first fixed holes of the fixed tubular outer insulator. When the rotatable tubular valve rotates, fuel is given to only one of the fuel injectors at a time.
Claims20
A fuel injector assembly, comprising:
- a fixed tubular outer insulator, the fixed tubular outer insulator having a first plurality of fixed holes;
- a fixed tubular inner insulator, the fixed tubular inner insulator having a second plurality of fixed holes;
- a rotatable tubular valve between the fixed outer insulator and the fixed inner insulator, the rotatable tubular valve having a plurality of holes in a staggered configuration;
- and
- a fuel injector connected to each of the first plurality of fixed holes of the fixed tubular outer insulator,
- wherein when the rotatable tubular valve rotates, fuel is given to only one of said fuel injectors at a time.
