Abstract:
A method for maximizing a fuel efficiency of an engine includes the steps of providing an engine including a plurality of cylinder bores formed therein, disposing at least one first permanent magnet on a piston and at least one second permanent magnet on the throw, disposing a plurality of electromagnets in the engine block, selectively attracting and repelling the at least one first and second permanent magnets with a magnetic field of the electromagnets to affect a motion of the piston in respect of the engine block and deactivating and reactivating the plurality of cylinder bores in a desired sequence by stopping a flow of fuel thereto and a flow of electrical energy to a spark plug for a deactivated cylinder bore without deactivating an intake valve or an exhaust valve for the deactivated cylinder bore.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for maximizing a fuel efficiency of an engine comprising the steps of:\n providing an engine including an engine block having at least one cylinder bank including a plurality of cylinder bores formed therein, a piston reciprocatingly disposed in each of the cylinder bores, the piston including a top surface having a skirt depending therefrom, a crankshaft rotatably mounted to the engine block, the crankshaft having at least one throw coupled thereto, a plurality of connecting rods having a first end and a second end, the first end rotatably attached to the crankshaft and the second end coupled to the piston, a cylinder head mounted to the cylinder bank and covering the cylinder bores, the cylinder head including an intake valve and an exhaust valve in fluid communication with each of the cylinder bores, an oil pan mounted to a lower end of the engine block to form a crankcase area of the engine, at least one first permanent magnet disposed on a surface of the piston adjacent the top surface of the piston and at least one second permanent magnet disposed on a surface of the throw, a plurality of electromagnets disposed in the engine block, a first set of the electromagnets disposed along a path of travel of the piston and adjacent the piston and a second set of the electromagnets disposed adjacent the throw providing an electrical current to the first and second sets of electromagnets with a control system to produce a desired magnetic field, wherein the magnetic field of the first set of electromagnets cooperates with a magnetic field of the at least one first permanent magnet to selectively attract and repel the at least one permanent magnet and the second set of electromagnets cooperates with a magnet field of the at least one second permanent magnet to selectively attract and repel the at least one second permanent magnet to affect a motion of the piston in respect of the engine block; and deactivating and reactivating the plurality of cylinder bores in a desired sequence, the control system deactivating the plurality of cylinder bores by stopping a flow of fuel thereto and a flow of electrical energy to a spark plug for a deactivated cylinder bore without deactivating an intake valve or an exhaust valve for the deactivated cylinder bore.
