Abstract
A progressive internal combustion engine that improves fuel efficiency, power output, and decreases emissions having a standard four stroke operation; the intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke, and exhaust stroke when cylinders are engaged. The progressive internal combustion engine provides for disengaging cylinders. When disengaged, a bypass valve opens, allowing the disengaged cylinder to operate free of compression. The progressive internal combustion engine may be utilized for gasoline, diesel and natural gas type engines.
