Abstract
A system for improving efficiency and minimizing energy consumption in machinery with reciprocating parts may include a piston positioned within a piston cavity in the machinery, the piston having a center rod with a top cap and bottom cap attached to opposite ends thereof, the top cap and bottom cap having diameters larger than a diameter of the center rod; a first spring positioned adjacent to the top cap within the piston cavity; and a second spring positioned adjacent to the bottom cap within the piston cavity.
Claims6
A system for improving efficiency and minimizing energy consumption in machinery with reciprocating parts, the system comprising:
- a piston positioned within a piston cavity in the machinery, the piston comprising:
- a center rod with a top cap and bottom cap attached to opposite ends thereof, the top cap and bottom cap having diameters larger than a diameter of the center rod;
- a first spring positioned adjacent to the top cap within the piston cavity;
- and
- a second spring positioned adjacent to the bottom cap within the piston cavity,
- wherein:
- the machinery comprises a member selected from the group consisting of an internal combustion engine, a generator, a compressor, and a compressed air generator;
- each of the first spring and the second spring are concentrically aligned with the piston cavity.
