Concept: Compact Two-Cycle, Co-generating Piston-Driven Turbine to Deliver 60+% Efficiency

Green Car Congress

The engine components are contained within a sphere. The first cycle is a “conventional” combustion engine process using a combustible fuel with the crankless (i.e., Fuel and air are compressed, then combusted. Any combustible fuel can work in the Reinhardt Turbine, the limiting factor is emissions control.
