Claims20
An engine assembly, comprising:
- at least one engine cylinder;
- at least one air valve comprising a supply opening and an exhaust opening which are alternatively openable and closable in relation to the at least one engine cylinder;
- at least one piston assembly, wherein the at least one piston assembly comprises at least one magnetized piston and at least one piston rod;
- a crank shaft, wherein the crank shaft is operatively coupled between the at least one piston assembly and the at least one air valve, whereby the at least one air valve opens and closes based on the position of the at least one piston assembly;
- at least one magnetic coil positioned relative to the at least one engine cylinder, whereby the at least one magnetic coil provides a magnetic field within or around the at least one engine cylinder;
- and
- at least one polarity timing device, wherein the at least one polarity timing device is operatively coupled between the crank shaft and the at least one magnetic coil, whereby the polarity of the at least one magnetic coil is affected based on the position of the crank shaft.
