Abstract:
A near adiabatic engine has four stages in a cycle: (1) a means of adiabatically expanding the working fluid during the downstroke from a high pressure/temperature level to a low level; (2) a means of cooling the working fluid at Bottom Dead Center (BDC); (3) a means of adiabatically compressing that fluid from a low pressure/temperature level at BDC to the higher level at Top Dead Center (TDC); and finally, (4) a means of passing that working fluid back to the high pressure/temperature source in a balanced pressure environment so as to minimize the resistance of that flow. This disclosure teaches the means of achieving (2) and (3) as follows: (2) a means is disclosed of BDC cooling of the expanded working fluid in the working chamber, and (3) a means is disclosed of adiabatically compressing the working fluid into the pump chamber before cycling the fluid.

Claim (Index 7):
The heat engine of  claim 1  with diaphragm operation, wherein:\n a cam means actuates the diaphragm and is located adjacent to the diaphragm mechanism so as to minimize the weight of said diaphragm mechanism, hence minimizing mechanical losses due to inertia; \n the conical frustum shaped diaphragm is hollow and reinforced with internal ribs, supporting the inner and outer walls of the structure, minimizing the weight of the diaphragm while maximizing its strength; and \n the diaphragm may be fabricated out of, but not limited to, materials such as titanium or spring steel;
