Abstract
An internal combustion engine has a pair of opposed pistons held within an elliptical guide of the engine housing. The pistons reciprocate within a cylinder attached to a shaft. A combustion chamber is formed within the shaft and positioned to be between the pistons. Combustion of fuel causes the pistons to reciprocate and reciprocation of the piston causes rotation of the shaft. A valve having an intake and out take port provide fuel and exhaust to the combustion chamber. A bridge extending upwardly form the bottom of the combustion chamber prevents fuel intake from exiting the exhaust before combustion.
Claims15
An internal combustion engine comprising:
- a body;
- a shaft rotatably mounted within said body;
- a pair of pistons within said body, said pair of pistons attached to and extending from said shaft;
- an intake port to allow fuel into said combustion chamber
- each piston having a piston face, each piston face having an edge, and
- at least one piston face having a means for creating a vortex, said means for creating a vortex formed along the edge of the piston face near said intake port.
An internal combustion engine comprising:
- a body;
- a shaft rotatably mounted within said body;
- a cylinder attached to said shaft
- a pair of pistons within said cylinder;
- an intake port in said cylinder,
- each piston having a piston face, each piston face having an edge, and
- at least one piston face having a depression to create a vortex, said depression formed along the edge of the piston face near said intake port.
An internal combustion engine comprising:
- a body, said body having an inner surface and an outer surface;
- a shaft rotatably mounted in said body;
- an intake port and an exhaust port formed in said body;
- a combustion chamber formed in said shaft, said combustion chamber having a bottom wall, a left edge and a right edge;
- and
- a bridge extending upwardly from said combustion bottom wall toward said body inner surface.
An internal combustion engine comprising:
- a body having an axis;
- a shaft rotatably mounted within said body;
- a pair of pistons within said body,
- a cylinder;
- said pair of pistons reciprocating within said cylinder;
- at least one pin extending from said shaft;
- a bracket extending radially outwardly from one of said pistons and engaging said pin, and
- a compression spring surrounding said at least one pin and bearing against said bracket.
