Abstract
An improved internal combustion engine utilizes at least one orbital body with at least one orbiting rod journal offset and engaged in a specific way from the center of orbiting body. Further, orbiting body together with orbiting rod journal and one of the gears as one body, rotationally linked to the block via stationary second gear engaged in 1:1 ratio. Which transfers the rotation to main journal via flying arm. Such that radial motion of flying arm transfers the rotation to the main crankshaft axis and constitute one body. This results in a constant volume compression period of max. 60° , improving operation, efficiency and cleanliness of the engine.
Claims12
An internal combustion engine comprising:
- a crankcase;
- a rotating crankshaft held by the crankcase and having at least two main journals in the crankcase;
- an orbiting body having an orbiting body axis and being linked to the rotating crankshaft and diametrically offset from the center of crankshaft axis;
- at least one orbital rod journal linked to the orbital body and eccentrically (diametrically) offset from the orbital body axis, the at least one orbital rod journal being linked by a connecting rod to a piston within a cylinder;
- and
- at least two i meshed gears in a 1:1 ratio linking the orbital body to the crankcase such that rotation of the crankshaft causes orbiting of the orbiting rod journals around the orbiting body axis and orbiting of the at least one orbital rod journal around the orbiting body axis.
