20150083059 | FOUR-CYLINDER FOUR-STROKE ENGINE WITHOUT A CRANKSHAFT AND VALVES - A four-cylinder four-stroke engine contains a base, a gas valve, a holder, a driving device, and a driven assembly, and a seat. When a four-cylinder four-stroke engine operates, a plurality of cylinders push plural pistons in the plurality of cylinders of the driving device so as to drive plural pushing posts connecting with the plural pistons to move upward and downward repeatedly, such that the driven assembly coupling with the plural pushing posts is pushed to drive a rotary shaft to rotate, thus generating a rotational energy, and the driven assembly simultaneously pushes a gear set of the driving device so that the gear set drives the gas valve on the base to rotate 360 degrees to feed and exhaust gases in the base, such that the plurality of cylinders are driven to feed, compress, burst, and exhaust gases continuously without using a crankshaft and valves. | 03-26-2015 |
123560200 | Cam on rotary output shaft | 8 |
20090250020 | Reciprocating combustion engine - Methods and apparatus are described for a reciprocating combustion engine. A method includes operating a dual-piston engine including introducing a gas into a pair of combustion chambers; introducing a fuel into the pair of combustion chambers; compressing the gas; combusting the gas and the fuel; and exhausting combusted gases. Each of the pistons drives a reciprocating crankshaft that protrudes through a cylinder wall and cooperatively rotate a pair of rotors by engaging substantially sinusoidal cam tracks on the rotors. An apparatus includes a cam driven, concentric drive rotary-valve dual-piston engine. | 10-08-2009 |
