Title: Monoblock valveless opposing piston internal combustion engine
Inventor: ALONSO JOSE LUIS
IPC: F02B75/32
Filed: 2008-11-06
Abstract: The present invention provides an internal combustion engine that provides advantages of both typical 2-stroke engines and typical 4-stroke engines, but using a new design unlike either.  The present engine provides for use of pistons as means for opening and closing intake and exhaust ports disposed on cylinder walls.  It also provides two pistons per cylinder in an opposing configuration, such that one fuel explosion event causes motion of both pistons per cylinder, in opposite directions. Each piston of a cylinder is connected to a separate crankshaft, which completes a single revolution about its axis per fuel explosion event in a cylinder. In a single cycle of piston movement along the cylinder, a full cycle of ignition, exhaust, intake, and compression is achieved.
