Supercharged engine design

An engine design comprising:

• an engine block;
• a crankshaft;
• at least one three-cylinder module, the three-cylinder module comprising:
• a left-hand combustion cylinder located within the engine block and a left-hand combustion cylinder piston located within the left-hand combustion cylinder and connected to the crankshaft;
• a right-hand combustion cylinder located within the engine block and a right-hand combustion cylinder piston located within the right-hand combustion cylinder and connected to the crankshaft;
• a compression cylinder located within the engine block and a compression cylinder piston located within the compression cylinder and connected to the crankshaft;
• wherein the right-hand combustion cylinder and the left-hand combustion cylinder are configured to perform an intake stroke, a compression stroke, a power stroke and an exhaust stroke and the compression cylinder is configured to perform only an intake stroke and a compression stroke;
• a cylinder head connected to the engine block, comprising at least one left-hand cylinder intake valve and at least one left-hand cylinder exhaust valve, at least one right-hand cylinder intake valve and at least one right-hand cylinder exhaust valve, and at least one compression cylinder intake valve and at least one compression cylinder exhaust valve, the cylinder head also comprising an intake air plenum connecting the at least one compression cylinder exhaust valve to at least one left-hand cylinder intake valve and the intake air plenum connecting the at least one compression cylinder exhaust valve to at least one right-hand cylinder intake valve;
• and
• a computer control configured to determine an exact amount of fuel;
• wherein at least one left-hand cylinder exhaust valve, at least one right-hand cylinder exhaust valve, and at least one compression cylinder intake valve are configured to be actuated by a first side camshaft comprising at least one cam for each actuated valve, wherein the cams used to actuate the compression cylinder intake valves are dual-lobed cams in which the cam lobes are 180 degrees out of phase;
• wherein at least one left-hand cylinder intake valve, at least one right-hand cylinder intake valve, and at least one compression cylinder exhaust valve are configured to be actuated by a second side camshaft comprising at least one cam for each actuated valve, wherein the cams used to actuate the compression cylinder exhaust valves are dual-lobed cams wherein each lobe is 180 degrees out of phase;
• wherein the left-hand combustion cylinder is configured to perform an intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke, or exhaust stroke;
• wherein the right-hand combustion cylinder is configured to perform an intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke, or exhaust stroke;
• wherein the compression cylinder is configured to perform an intake stroke or a compression stroke, and;
• wherein the compression cylinder intake valve and the compression cylinder exhaust valve are configured to remain closed while the compression piston begins upward movement, which creates a positive pressure to be created within the compression cylinder before the compression cylinder exhaust valve is opened.
