Abstract
An engine employing magnetically actuated valves. The engine includes a combustion chamber, a port, an electromagnet, a valve, a biasing spring, and a valve guide. The valve is operably positioned in relation to the combustion chamber to allow fuel into the chamber and is actuated by a magnetic field to move within the valve guide. The engine also includes a fuel dispensing system including a tube having an aperture. The valve moves between a first and second position, alternating between obstructing and not obstructing the aperture, thereby blocking and allowing fuel flow throw the aperture.
Claims27
An engine employing a valve, said engine comprising:
- a combustion chamber;
- a port coupled to the combustion chamber;
- a valve guide adjacent to the port and coupled to the port;
- and
- an electromagnet coupled to the valve guide;
- wherein the valve is adapted to move within the valve guide and within the port, and
- wherein the valve is capable of movement within the valve guide such that the valve resides at least partially outside of the port and at least partially outside of the combustion chamber.
A valve system for use in an engine having a combustion chamber and a port coupled to the combustion chamber, the valve system comprising:
- a valve guide adapted to couple to the port;
- a valve adapted to move within the valve guide and within the port;
- and
- a tube having an aperture,
- wherein the valve is capable of blocking the aperture, and
- wherein the valve is capable of movement within the valve guide such that the valve resides at least partially outside of the port and at least partially outside of the combustion chamber.
An engine employing a valve, said engine comprising:
- a combustion chamber;
- an intake port for delivering air, the intake port being connected to the combustion chamber;
- a fuel delivery system;
- a tube connecting the fuel delivery system to the intake port, the tube positioned at least partially within the intake port, and the tube having a wall with at least one aperture for delivering fuel to the intake port;
- and
- a valve guide adjacent to the intake port and coupled to the intake port,
- wherein the valve is adapted to move within the valve guide and within the intake port,
- wherein the valve is capable of movement within the valve guide such that the valve resides at least partially outside of the intake port and at least partially outside of the combustion chamber,
- wherein the valve is sealingly engageable with the at least one aperture to block the delivery of fuel to the intake port,
- wherein the intake port comprises walls and the valve is sealingly engageable with the walls of the intake port to prevent air from flowing into the combustion chamber, and
- wherein the valve is capable of moving between at least a first, closed position where the intake port and the at least one aperture are blocked by the valve such that no fuel is allowed to flow into the intake port through the at least one aperture and no air is allowed to flow through the intake port and a second, open position where the intake port and the at least one aperture are at least partially unblocked by the valve such that fuel is allowed to flow into the intake port through the at least one aperture and air is allowed to flow through the intake port.
A valve system for use in an engine having a combustion chamber and an intake port for delivering air, the intake port being connected to the combustion chamber, the valve system comprising:
- a tube positioned at least partially within the intake port, the tube having a wall with at least one aperture for delivering fuel to the intake port;
- a valve guide adjacent to the intake port and coupled to the intake port;
- and
- a valve adapted to move within the valve guide and within the intake port,
- wherein the valve is capable of movement within the valve guide such that the valve resides at least partially outside of the intake port and at least partially outside of the combustion chamber,
- wherein the valve is sealingly engageable with the at least one aperture to block the delivery of fuel to the intake port,
- wherein the intake port comprises walls and the valve is sealingly engageable with the walls of the intake port to prevent air from flowing into the combustion chamber, and
- wherein the valve is capable of moving between at least a first, closed position where the intake port and the at least one aperture are blocked by the valve such that no fuel is allowed to flow into the intake port through the at least one aperture and no air is allowed to flow through the intake port and a second, open position where the intake port and the at least one aperture are at least partially unblocked by the valve such that fuel is allowed to flow into the intake port through the at least one aperture and air is allowed to flow through the intake port.
