Abstract
In one embodiment, an improvement to a four-stroke engine having a single cylinder block arrangement including an engine block, timing gears, crankshaft and gear, timing belt/chain, intake port, exhaust port, and cylinder head arrangement includes a ported rotating shaft, the ported rotating shaft having a first port, the ported rotating shaft synchronized with the crankshaft, such that the first port periodically aligns with the intake port to allow for intake during the four-stroke cycle.

An improvement to a four-stroke engine having a single cylinder block arrangement including an engine block, timing gears, crankshaft and gear, timing belt/chain, intake port, exhaust port, and cylinder head arrangement, the improvement comprising:
- a ported rotating shaft, the ported rotating shaft having a first port, the ported rotating shaft synchronized with the crankshaft, such that the first port periodically aligns with the intake port to allow for intake during the four-stroke cycle.
An improvement to a four-stroke engine having a single cylinder block arrangement including an engine block, timing gears, crankshaft and gear, timing belt/chain, intake port, exhaust port, and cylinder head arrangement, the improvement comprising:
- a first- and second-ported rotating shaft, the first- and second-ported rotating shaft each having a port, the first-ported rotating shaft synchronized with the crankshaft, such that the port of the first-ported rotating shaft periodically aligns with the intake port to allow for intake during the four-stroke cycle, and the second-ported rotating shaft synchronized with the crankshaft, such that the port of the second-ported rotating shaft periodically aligns with the exhaust port to allow for exhaust during the four-stroke cycle.
A four-stroke engine comprising:
- (a) an intake port;
- (b) an exhaust port;
- and
- (c) a ported rotating shaft, synchronized with the four-stoke engine, the ported rotating shaft having a port, the port periodically aligning with the intake port and the exhaust port to allow for intake of air and output of exhaust during the four-stroke cycle.
A four-stroke engine comprising:
- an engine block, timing gears, crankshaft and gear, timing belt/chain, intake port, exhaust port, and cylinder head arrangement, wherein valves for intake and exhaust are omitted and the four-stroke cycle is maintained.
