Abstract:
An internal combustion engine wherein at least two cylinders continuously communicate via the cylinder head and wherein the connecting rod in one cylinder is offset from the connecting rod in the second cylinder by a first angle between 8 and 12 degrees as measured from the crankshaft, and a camshaft having a second offset of one half of the first angle offset.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of increasing the efficiency of a four-cycle engine comprising: modifying said engine, said engine comprising a first leading cylinder and second trailing cylinder, having fluid passage between one another in a head opening defined by a cylindrical tube defined in a modified cylinder head which allows for fluid and gas communication between the first leading cylinder and the second trailing cylinder, a first and second piston, a first and second connecting rod, a crankshaft, a camshaft, at least two exhaust valves, at least two intake valves, at least one spark plug, and a fuel injection component;\n wherein the first and second cylinder communicate said fluid passage within the cylindrical tube between the first and second cylinder; wherein the head opening remains open to the first and second cylinders at all times; wherein the second piston is a trailing piston and offset in the second cylinder by between 8 and 12 degree crank angle as compared to the first piston; wherein the camshaft is engaged to the at least two exhaust valves and at least two intake valves, and said camshaft is offset by one half of the crank angle of the crankshaft, generating one half of the offset of the crankshaft for the camshaft within the second cylinder; and injecting fuel into said second cylinder wherein fuel is provided only to the trailing cylinder when said engine is rotating at between 3500 and 5000 revolutions per minute; and wherein a sparkplug is igniting in both the first and second cylinders despite fuel being provided only into said second cylinder.
